What did you do today in the world of reloading?

[robertc1024]

Furking out of brass. I have some 9mm - of which I have thousands of rounds. .38's no, .45 ACP's no, .38's no, .357 no, .40's - for Mr. English - it's my tribute to him for his excellent posts and will be delivered at Hicksville. Might have to go shooting this weekend and scavenge the range.

Loaded for .308 sub test rounds.


I'm pooped.

 

[Dawico]

Sized the .338 Lapua cases I shot the other day.

Measured them and they need to be trimmed.

Found out they don't fit the universal holder in my RCBS trimmer.

Sorted some other cases so I can get some loaded tomorrow.

I done something I have not done before. I broke my freaking Dillon XL 650

all I did was load primers into the primer magazine like I have done a hundred times before.
I got about 10 primers out and then nothing. I took the primer system off, nothing wrong... then I pulled the primer magazine and a CCI small rifle primer had become lodged near the bottom, but I had dropped the plastic primer indicator in from the top a couple of times trying to figure it out and I guess it made it stuck worse. I tried tapping it out from the bottom and the damn thing was stuck so bad, it stayed put and became deformed and Im totally screwed now and have to buy a new one.

I would have to take a cleaning rod and try to smack it out of there. Eyes and ears on though.

You don't have much to lose at this point.

Time for a single stage press and primer press? This is what I use. Never fails (but slower that your setup I'm sure.)

I've loaded thousands of trouble free rounds and finally need a $10 repair and I'll just toss it all away and go back to my rockchucker
Yeah that makes good sense

 

[Blayglock]

Tried out my new wet tumbler and finally got the reloading room setup after the move.

Hey man..Blue lives matter is all I'm saying....

 

[Moonpie]

Expended numerous lead round balls from the Ruger Old Army.

 

[Dawico]

Loaded up my last 34 .338 Lapua bullets. Concentrated on two charges that showed great results. I also seated the bullets out to match some factory ammo that I have.

May be too many variables but we shall see.

Tomorrow will show if I am buying more of these bullets or switching.

 

[Dawico]

BTW, 34 rounds loaded = just under half a pound of powder.

 

[Blind Sniper]

Holy crap. What's the charge, close to 90 grains?

 

[Dawico]

96 grains is the load that I am hoping works well under a 250 grain bullet at close to 2800 fps.

Cleaning brass tonight. The guys shooting next to me let me have theirs. .223 LC brass. It'll make good 300BO.

 

[Vaquero]

I had good intentions.
Didn't do diddly.

 

[The Dave]

Took (3) .303 British brass, trimmed down the head of the case to chamber in a .410. Added a small charge of powder, TP wad cream of wheat and oat meal, then sealed it with a little TP and white glue. This is more of a test to see if it will work out before I commit to doing this to more of the limited .303 brass I currently have on hand

I'm not saying how much of what type of power I am using for the sake of safety. I plan on remote firing to fire form the brass for use in a bolt action .410.

That sounds like quite the operation. Hope you find what you are looking for.

I picked up some 303 brass yesterday too. If that works fill us in on how it went.
