What did you do today in the world of reloading?

[The Dave]

Cut and dumped bird shot from .410 shells and replaced it with .34 caliber, .36 caliber round ball, .358 in various combinations looking for the best combo for my gun. So far I am liking the (3) .36cal round ball in a 2.5" shell but there is still a lot of work to be done.

I bought some Nosler blem ammo the other day and looking at it real quick I thought it was blem because the annealing looked odd. I shot some yesterday so I was sizing the brass today and found a few that look like this.

No, igit! Pics of the new setup when it's done.

did I mention this room is upstairs? I feel like an idgit right now.
I still got a few hunnerd pounds of stuff to haul up here.

I'm trying to get more organized so I bought some plastic bins from the dollar store. My mom is giving me her old kitchen cabinets too. That should help.

Old cabinets are awesome!
I had to leave behind a set. Been keeping an eye out since.

Punched out ~300 .45cal felt wads for the BP revolvers.

Got bored. Loaded 101 9mm's. Not sure what to do with the last round. Maybe get a tupperware box like I've got for my .38's - then the ADHD people won't go all into a tizzy.

I loaded some more 44 mag yesterday. I want to do some actual accuracy testing before I settle on a load.

I moved powders into the new cave.
Still got more stuff to move.

I have a stash of 223, 30.06, 7mm-08 (for Twerpy, my daughter), 300 BLK, and 35 Remington all set for hunting and shooting at the lease. Now I am trying to get some plinking ammo loaded up. Takes a while with a single stage press, but I enjoy the work.

I primed 300 rounds of .40 i will throw powder and seat bullets later this week. I found a recipe I like, using Titegroup and 180 gn FMJ. I've got around 3,000 pieces to reload.

I have completed the prep on a little over 2,000 of the roughly 5,000 pieces of 223 brass in various buckets and boxes in my shed. Deprime, size, trim, SS media tumble, debur, swage the military crimp, uniform the primer pocket and debur the flash hole. After another firing, I will anneal the brass. Mrs and Twerpy enjoy helping me shoot them up, so I am fortunate to have so much brass on hand.

I can sit at the bench with a cigar and a glass of tea and work on brass till my heart is content. Each time I prep enough to fill the FART, it is a milestone.

Gonna start a bucket of 9mm as a project with my little brother. Have a little over 3,000 pieces to load.

I am also intermittently working on a bucket full of 308.

Right now, my shed is a mess, between buckets of brass in various states of preparation and materials for the shooting tower my leasemates and I will build over Labor Day and get stood up. We have a clear 500 yard lane with a good backstop. Everyone is extremely excited to get it up, and do some longer range shooting without having to lay in the dirt.

Bought 2000 small pistol primers yesterday! Looking to get back on the press this fall as I'll have a reduced class schedule!

 

[BennyS]

Finished my batch of 200 .308s for my TRG22!

I did more loading today than I ever have. Don't tell my boss.

I loaded every 300 BO case I have. All of that time I spent prepping brass when I had a chance paid off.

I also loaded up some more 44 mag. I'm liking 19gns of 2400 but I loaded some up to 20 to see how it performs.
