What did you do today in the world of reloading?

Bought this. Not sure if it’s worth a damn or not, but it’s another reloading toy I couldn’t do without!

Let us know how it works. I've been curious but didn't want to be the guinea pig.

Using mine for .308 and 6.5 CM. so far so good. The micro adjustments help.

Kept seeing it for $80-$100+, so I passed. Amazon had it for $52, so I ordered it. Actually ordered it at 4am this morning, and when I left for work at 2:30pm it was on the porch!

I have that set in my truck reloading box so if I want to load at range, I don’t have to have multiple seating dies with me. It has been working better than I expected.

Those FA universal dies are pretty darn good and convenient to boot.

Ordered some powder from Powder Valley. Kills me paying those hazmat fees every time, but finding it locally has been near impossible, and when I do it’s a 1 lb limit. Got 5 lbs, so after shipping and hazmat it came out to about $40 a lb.

Cody, did you break into that press yet? My cardiologist put away his Dillons in favor of the Forster Coax.

Let me know if you ever want to "group buy" some powders. I have another source that I can check on if you do.

I have the Lee Turret Press. It’s just about perfect for what I need. I have a turret for each caliber I load, and I can knock out 200-300 handgun loads pretty quickly if I’m going to the range the next day. And for hand loading rifle, it works pretty good too. I would definitely be interested in a group buy on powder. I’ve been checking daily online and as soon as I saw it available I ordered some. Not sure about Powder Valleys order processing and shipping though. Haven’t ordered from them in a couple years, so I don’t remember how quick they are. I ordered the powder Wednesday, and I got an email with the order confirmation, and my card was charged. But I haven’t got any more correspondence since, so I’m hoping it’s not gonna take weeks to hear from them with a shipping notice.

I dug out my mec 600 to load up some shotshells while my dad's in town next week.

Any of you guys use small rifle benchrest primers? Picked some up and they're way more than what I need so I might be willing to trade them off.

Received my first Midway notification ever about them. Glad to see them back but not a fan of the price.

Luckily I don't need any right now.

HiTek coated a bunch of 170 & 185 for the BO & 30/30.

Loaded up some 130 grain SP Interlocks in .270 with 54 grains of IMR4350, for a hunt I have in a couple weeks. I had loaded up some 140 grain SST’s, but after seeing, and reading, about their performance, I wasn’t confident that would be the right round for whitetail at 100 yards. Best to stick with the proven soft points.

Loaded some 250-grain hard cast lead bullets from MagTech over small charges of Red Dot and Bullseye for my .45 ACP. This is the heaviest bullet I have ever loaded in this caliber...gonna try 'em out first in my MechTech CCU first, compare their POI to 200 and 230 grainers...then try them in a standard 1911.

I’ve heard they fragment at impact, especially at higher speeds. Huge entrance wound, without passing through. The ones I loaded for my .270 chrono’d at just over 3,000 FPS.

I shot my first reloads yesterday. 6.5 Grendel , 123 SST, Federal 1x Brass cci 41 primers, 25.5/25.8/26.2 gn TAC. 2.26 COAL. All were MOA 5 shot groups. Kinda did a ladder test. I think the math comes out to 2250fps, I definitely have some room for powder. TAC is a bit dirty
