What did you do today in the world of reloading?

[unicom]

Also for fun a fired and empty 9mm case with what looked like a lite primer strike. No powder or bullet in there just the primer. It went pop. So now it’s a spent primer. Also wondering if I can use CCI small rifle primers to load 9mm ammo.

No. Guy at Cabela's told me I could used s&b small rifle for pistol once. I had about 70% fire on the first strike. 25% fire on the second or third strike, and about 5% didn't fire at all. I had 500 of them. It was good practice for clearing malfunctions.

Try redeye reloading if you're looking for dies. Most their dies are used but they always have a ton of dies. You just have to scroll through the endless list...

I have a case of .22 Shorts that was improperly stored for many years before I bought it. At least a third are duds. I put them in revolvers and they help me stay ahead of any flinching.

Good guys. They also run a raffle page on Facebook for reloading stuff. I've won a labradar, AR uppers, jugs of powder, tons of bullets, and all sorts of other shit from them.

I've shot a Toni of fiocchi SRP in 9mm & 40 s&w with zero fails. Prepandemic of course.

I'm at 1200 on 9mm decap & size.

Loaded 20 Hornady leftover from a sale I had going on.

Was about to say, I have been reloading my 9mm with srp, they all fired fine. Am I missing something here?
All my Walthers shoot them just fine.

Factory Anti-Flinch ammo. That's a first.

Cleaned my dies and printed some bullet feeding dies

Yes you can. Reduce your load slightly and work back up. The cup is thicker so you may have issues with light strikes but a lot of people have done it.

Hammer fired guns seem to work a little better with rifle primers.

I was using my Ruger p85 which is hammer fired. That's when I had all the problems. I didn't try the rounds in anything else though. And that was just s&b small rifle primers. Maybe they're tougher than others.

I believe they are harder than others. I usually use Federal primers for everything. They seem pretty soft. I have had issues with S&B and CCI primers in certain guns sometimes requiring a 2nd strike. Of course there's no scientific research behind my assumptions. Just things I've noticed.

Found some 123gr SP and SST bullets for my new 7.62x39 bolt gun. Stopped by a few stores to see if any reloading supplies were in stock. Slim pickings out there right now. It's not unexpected but just weird seeing bare shelves that were once full.

loaded a little over a 1000 rd of 9mm this weekend

going to set the Dillon 650 up for .380 acp tonight, Bayou Bullet says my little 90 gr .355" coated cast bullets will be delivered this week, so I can load those little puppies up (I hate loading .380 due to such small cases and bullets for big hands to deal with, but due to current availability and price right now I am going to load my .380 plink & play ammo)
