What did you do at your reloading bench today?

Kelson1066 · Jan 10, 2018

200 Rounds of 147gr JHP 9mm
Packed in reload boxes

BALBZ · Jan 10, 2018

Haven't done anything at my bench today, BUT I am one step closer to getting them installed this weekend in the new reload room. I cant wait to have this room done and get to reloading.

P.S. Can someone rotate the pic for me or maybe shoot me a PM with instruction how to rotate it?

Melnic · Jan 11, 2018

No Pics but I sized and primed 300 38spl and 50 357mag.

Annealed, sized, trimmed & primed 400 cases of 223. Handoaded 100 more which are in the tumbler now.

Sorted 550 pieces of tumbled .45ACP by head stamp.

BigRick · Jan 14, 2018

Loaded up 300 rounds of 223 with 77gr TMKs and 100 rounds of 357 sig and converted my Dillon 650 over from 9mm to 40 S&W so I can load up a few hundred 40 cal rounds during the week.

Loaded 100 rounds of 7.62x39. Set other press for 223/5.56. Then when out back and tried about thirty of the 7.62 to see if I liked the new recipe.
They shot pretty good for a old SKS
Now off to work

tony b · Jan 19, 2018

Deprimed and tumbled 500 5.56 . Thank you SNAV for the brass trade.
Looks like jewelry (bling bling) will finish prepping next week and reload about 1000. Got a little behind on reloading.
Still waiting on pills for the beowulf and 7.62x39. I may be working that Lee press a little bit over the next couple of week.

BUFF7MM · Jan 19, 2018

Worked up some 12 gauge loads to see if I can cycle my autoloader:
Winchester AA 2 3/4 inch hulls
WAA12 wads
1 1/8 oz #7 1/2
Federal 209A primers
15.5, 16, and 16.5 grains of Clays
Wanted to try some Red dot but I couldn’t find any close.

Technically this is @ my reloading bench so ... Today I mounted drawer slides for drawer units to hold the bench. Background, for the last few months I installed new windows and one extra window in reloading room, for light. Painted the room and put in new carpet. Bench is original old growth local pine boards 2 1/2" thick, filled the cracks with colored epoxy to match Dillon and coated with many coats of epoxy and very heavy! Drawer units will have reclaimed barn wood (Poplar from one of our barns) on the sides, you can see one board in the pic. My brass is piling up so I need to get moving! More wood work than metal work(brass) for the next couple weeks.

ToolAA · Jan 19, 2018

Picked up some Lapua brass and I’m going to fireform 15 cases and compare the results with 15 rounds fired as is.

Finally put a 2yr old box of instant grits to good use.

Hornady Tumbling Media

Just bought another jug of this stuff from Cabelas. $16.00US. The price never seems to change. I was thinking....has anyone ever use sandbox sand as a media? Pro or con? :tinfoil2:

Now that is a high powered breakfast

DaemonAssassin · Jan 21, 2018

Nice project you've got going there. Looks like it will turn out great. Be sure to post progress photos and final photo.

Thank you sir, quick update photo, did the reclaimed wood while watching my first NFL game this year. Six drawers and one File drawer. Now to finish them without turning them toooo dark.

FGT1958 · Jan 27, 2018

That looks great! What will you use to finish? Clear poly?

BALBZ · Jan 27, 2018

Still nothing productive at my benches but one step closer. Got them installed and the door hung. All that's left now is installing the baseboard heat when it gets here and move everything in.
