What did you do today in the world of reloading?

Ha!
Sometimes I’m out there so long the wife calls me on the cell and wants to know if I am ever coming home.

Excuse the mess, but I’m thinking I should put a sheet of plywood behind the pegboard. What is everyones opinions/thoughts about it

Depends on how much weight you plan on hanging on it. Just remember to use 1x2 spacers. Between the peg board and plywood. Makes it much easier to put the metal hangers on it!

Skip the plywood and use 1x2 on top and bottom length

Might think about mounting it to the wall too...hate to have it fall over in the middle of loading...

Yes, yes yes. I forget sometimes to be more specific not knowing people’s skill sets. The 1x2s or furring strips, should be mounted to the joists on the wall with at least two screws maybe three depending on where your joists are and then mount your pegboard to the furring strips.

Now, if you didn't want to make holes in the wall...use a couple of 2x4's upright behind the bench. Attach them to the back legs of the bench and mount the peg board to that!

I’m going to put a sheet of plywood behind it with 1x2 for spacing. Thanks for the 1x2 idea. I am putting a shelf up as well

The work bench has just two legs in the middle. It’s a husky adjustable work bench. Putting up plywood gives me extra space for mounting other things I’m sure I will end up wanting mounted

My bench is surely heavy-duty enough. But my "supplys" shelf was still a little bit heavy to mount it above the bench...

Looked at my bench yesterday with about 5k 9mm brass. Decided to contact deavis and see if he can help. Getting lazy in my old age.

Probably due EXIF Data, or the sites inability to use it. Google "EXIF data". The short explanation is that on some devices, if the camera takes a picture sideways (or upside down) it attaches a file that tells it how to open right side up for viewing. This avoids having to constantly overwrite image files for display purposes in order to save on memory resources. When you upload it, that is lost and it uploads as it was taken.

You can usually correct it by opening it in something like Paint. It may appear normal, but rotate it anyway, then rotate it back. That usually overwrites the file and stores it in the proper orientation.

Drove up to 10ring.com
Bought some brass, lubrisizer die and punch, ammo storage boxes, Little Dandy powder dispenser, some misc cleaning stuff, big reloading block for the 45-70.
Got home. Loaded 150rds of 38Spl and prepped 100rds of 44spl.

Did they have primers?

yes

 

[DaveyG]

Over the last couple days, 265 each of .44 RM - 10g Unique under a .431" 250gr Keith for range and field. Also 25 each test loads .44 RM - 19g H110 under a 330gr LFNDCG for the hogs.

I primed some more 308 cases and loaded 30 168gr Speer match bullets and 30 175gr SMKs yesterday. Got confirmation on another 1k 168gr SMKs headed my way. Seller on GunBroker had them at 35cpb and only 18$ to ship. Probably about a nickel more than I wanted to pay after shipping and tax but gotta take what I can get.

I've been hemming and hawing over bullet prices lately. Thank goodness I'm a hoarder. I still remember my early days of reloading. 3-4 cent primers and rifle powders under $20/lb. Lately I can't find LR primers like anyone else but my old stock keeps me chugging along.

Finally had some time to load up 3 boxes of .44 Magnum. Should be fun!

On my old Lee Pro Pot IV, I added a threaded rod through the base plate to help with the weight of a full pot o' lead and a steel shelf to support the mold while I'm pouring. This old melter is 38 years old & still going!
