What did you do today in the world of reloading?

[rp-]

Well, I swaged ~500 .40cal glock cases. Never reloaded glock cases so curious to see how they run. anyone ever use the Lee bulge buster?




Also, I couldn't decide what to do so i spent time bedding the stock and making nickel sulfate (for plating)...

 

[Moonpie]

Snagged about 60lbs. of lead.

The bulge buster probably isn't necessary. Newer Glocks don't bulge cases like they used to.

These were range pickup another guy here gave me. I didn't want to chance a bad case in the bunch.

Loaded up about $65 worth of match ammo.

Loading shotgun shells the Old School way.

Basic tools and components

Various cards and wads used.

Black Powder and antique scoop

Adding powder

Inserting over powder card

Using wad stuffer tool to seat over powder card

Inserting fiber wad. This goes under the shot pellets.

Adding the shot. Using the same antique scoop. It's calibrated for a 20gauge.

Shot in shell

Inserting overshot card

I ran across the shotgun shell reloading, and I have to say you get all the cool points for the day.

I have got to read this thread more often.

Today I'm garage sale-ing. My wife thinks it's to get rid of some of my crap. It's really to get rid of some of my crap specifically to make more room in the garage for reloading

Welp, y'all ever get the reloading bug and just can't stop until you run out of bullets?

Couple of hundred rounds of 9mm - trying to reduce the size of the brass pile. It's a good feeling:


Some ladder rounds for the ole AR:

Well you could always send a few my way :-D

This weekend I bulge busted 6-700 40 cal cases, then made my first attempt to load some subsonic 9mm, only to find I need a spacer so I don't wreck the threads on my suppressor.
Hopefully I'll find one at Tomball pawn or SGA.

I think I'll be spending the rest of the weekend icing my elbow since I can feel a case of tendinitis coming on!
Always happens when I get overexcited about reloading chores! If this happens to you check out super seven exercises on the web

Loaded up 65 rounds of .308 and took stock of the .223 situation.

I thought the whole point of ladder testing was to avoid shooting so many rounds to find the sweet spot. That looks like you have some groups ready to shoot.

Just curious.

 

[robertc1024]

I think they will all be pretty close so I just made more of them than what I actually needed. Besides, they're just .223 rounds anyway, figured it wouldn't hurt anything to have some extras.

 

[Dave68]

Reloaded 50 rounds of 32 H&R magnum with 100 grain hollow points.

 

[Younggun]

50 rounds of .308 175gr SMKs

41 rounds of 300BO 168gr SMKs cause I don't use the bullets for .308 anymore and didn't want to waste the components.

Also picked up some more 750gr Amax but gonna test a new load and decide how I wanna run them.

Cut, formed, & trimmed 1300 .300BLK cases from LC 5.56 milspec brass. Tomorrow, I get to punch all the primer pockets so I can reprime them.

Crush, kill, mangle, maim, destroy.

Really fast. Run them really fast.

Ran them today over 225gr of H50 at 2550fps with no signs of pressure. Looks like accuracy was ok. 1.28" at 300 yards for 3 rounds. I pulled the 4th and couldn't chamber the 5th cause I was a dumbass and didn't seat the primer all the way.

SD was much lower than the 215gr charge. Need to do more testing.
