What did you do at your reloading bench today?

Trekker · Jan 28, 2018

I loaded 100 .45colt, 50 each of 255gr. Xtreme plated FP and hard-cast SWC bullets. Each 50 are loaded in a scaled ladder of increasing titegroup charges to work out what shoots best out of my ruger redhawk.

Loaded up 20 rounds of my 7.62x54r formula into some Lapua 7.62x53r cases.
Had to adjust the Factory Crimp Die.

I'm going to shoot off 5 rounds of these and compare to 5 rounds with PPU 7.62x54r cases just to see any difference.

Primed up 200 cases of 45Colt while watching a B movie on Netflix

RetiredArmyGuy · Jan 29, 2018

Neck sized and trimmed 200 LC LR 308 cases. I am going to prime and load them on Wednesday to shoot out to 400 yards in Virginia this weekend!

PowPow · Jan 29, 2018

200 rounds of .45ACP, Nosler 185gr JHP. I've got some Berry's 185gr SWC on the way, as I haven't seen a Nosler sale in a couple months.

Mostly brass prep, but some actual loading. All rifle, have to rebuild a press and resupply before I can roll out any handgun.

Getting antsy to get out and exercise my trigger finger some.

Gordon · Feb 4, 2018

Clean up and gear up to load some 44-40w

august1410 · Feb 4, 2018

I put together some 148 grain .38 Special wadcutters...about a hundred or so.

Not_an_outlaw · Feb 4, 2018

450 rounds of .357, until I ran out of powder.

tony b · Feb 4, 2018

Reloaded 450 rounds of 223 and started prepping another 500 pieces of 556 military brass. Got everything I need to reload 100 rounds of 50 Beowulf

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

Thanks, Satin Poly. In the last two days 1664 rnds 9mm and counting.

BALBZ · Feb 11, 2018

Moving stuff in. Got an old file cabinet cut in half to fit under the benches and worked on storage for brass today I think it turned out pretty good.

Art3 · Feb 11, 2018

I prepped 150 .303 Brit cases. I had another 50 ready to go...but just couldn't. :sad20:

Chamfering/deburring by hand kills my thumbs.

I really need to invest in a powered set up...any suggestions? The Lyman Xpress seems to have stellar reviews on Amazon :shrug:

I like the barbed wire draws. :thumbsup:

I've got some from the South side of the Korean DMZ that would be smashing like that.

I am with you on that! I got get something because after so long, my hands start to cramp up. I did load 200 .223 cases today. But mainly reorganized and cleaned. :rolleyes:

Now that is interesting! This wire is from a local farm so just a little nostalgia.

I use the Frankford Arsenal Prep/Trim setup. Have to be careful setting up the trim head but debur and chamfer are a breeze.

Lee 3 jaw chuck, spindle that goes with it, and a cordless drill.

Simple, inexpensive, works.

Adenosine · Feb 12, 2018

Been working through loading a 4x4 (four different bullet weights with four different charges apiece, for ladders) with some SNS coated bullets in 9mm. Looking forward to getting this done so I can play with .40 major!

Swaim13 · Feb 12, 2018

I cleaned, trimmed, and chamfered/deburred 500 pieces of 223 brass yesterday. I also finished reloading 100 cartridges so I can hopefully make it to the range again soon.

If you have the RCBS Pro Trimmer, you can combine trimming and chamfering/deburring. I know that they also sell a powered unit for it. Only problem is that if the brass is too short for trimming that it may not chamfer/deburr....

Doctor_M · Feb 12, 2018

I blew the dust off my press this weekend and did 100 rounds of .32 S&W long, just because :-)
