What did you do today in the world of reloading?

I bought some tarnished 45 brass a few months ago. I’ve been slowly resize /depriming them.

I think I’ll knock the rest out his morning. . Once it warms up I’m going to try to freshen them up with an acid bath.

Maker Rex makes some good bullets, so, I was re-upping the stock. Placed an order, then realized I was one item away from free shipping. So, my mistake, I hit the "contact us" and simply put "please cancel order xxxx as I am placing another with items added to qualify for free shipping". Well, I was told that part of the webpage "doesn't work" after I called. It of course had both orders. Wallet isn't thrilled, but I can't find it in me to be too upset.

Discovered that a half-full keg of 4227 that I've had for ~40 years has gone off. The smell made that obvious.

I hope my grass appreciates how expensive their fertilizer was.

I'm waiting on the boss man to shoot his test loads before I can start cranking out those grendels for him so decided I'd clean a little and start boxing up the 9s I've been working on. I got 19 boxes packed up so far and set up the press for another run tomorrow. I'm half tempted to go back to just storing these rounds in plastic sandwich bags to make life easier.

Small plastic tubs/containers work well too.

With this many rounds I should just start loose filling in ammo cans. I'm currently using repack boxes and like them. It's just a chore to fill those boxes.

Contractor at the house so I took the day off. Knocking out some 124gr 9mm rounds to be productive. 700 rounds and counting so far

1800 rounds for the day. Calling it quits. Took some breaks and also had to deal with the shell plate holder screw snap on the dillon square deal press. First time I've had a part break on one. Shell plate stuck in the up position with brass in the dies. Had to use a pencil eraser to back out the bolt from the threads in the press then use a punch to get the brass and shell holder out from the dies. Set me back a bit, otherwise would have been over 2k for today.

I had the same thing happen on my SDB last summer. Called customer service and they had a replacement part in the mail to me that day (love that customer service). Customer service says that it is not a uncommon breakdown so they sent me a couple shell plate bolts.
