What did you do at your reloading bench today?

[Art3]

I would say, yes. I do. Keep it for a rainy day or for trade.

Who knows what shortages the future might hold

Good points, both of you. What a sad state of affairs when a couple hundred (at most) Blazer brass is a desired commodity.

Measures neck thickness on all my cases, more consistent that I thought. Finally got to use the AMP annealer, anneales a case in 4 seconds. Attached is the sacrificial brass it uses to give you a custom code for that lot of brass.

Just need to do the same process for my dads brass.

Spend the day rewiring all my worklights to 2 lamp ballasts and converting to 4' 6500k LED lamps. Trying to clean and free up some space so I can teach my son how to reload.

 

[Bolts Rock]

This week: 1000 rounds .45 Colt, 5000 rounds .223.

 

[BigRick]

This week I knocked out 100 rounds of 45 auto, 3000 rounds of 9mm and 1000 rounds of .223. Had the old Dillon 650's rolling.

40 6.5 CR loads 140 gr HPBT. Decent enough day out to spend some time on the garage bench.

Last night I did 100rds of 6.5 Grendel (Doing 150 more this week)
I have a load that rocks in my 20" PSA AR...
Hornady brass
Midsouth Match Monsters (Nosler Custom Comp) 100gr BTHP
CCI 450
30.2gr 8208XBR
2.200" OAL

This averages 2725fps at the muzzle and is really accurate in my rifle.

I watched the Red Hornady reloading machine in front of me and recollect those days that I enjoyed making pistol and rifle ammos. I can't spare my time to do that again. Hew!

 

[Muleskinner]

Still plugging along with a 9 mm reloads and I've got 308 and 7.62 by 51 going on the other press. I go back and forth between the two as I Tire of one

Working on resizing, chamfering, de-burring, and cleaning about 500 .30-06 cases I shot out of my M1 this past year. When I need to do this again in about a year, mark my words I'm getting a case prep station. Using a lyman hand tool to chamfer and de-burr and it just hurts.

Look at the Giraud trimmer, chamger/de-burr and trims in 3 or 4 seconds. If you shoot a lot, well worth the investment. I started out like you, but quickly changed my ways.

I wish. I don't do high volume shooting at the moment and just getting into reloading a few cartridges. Thanks for the wish list item though!

Wow, so this is basically one step up from a little crow worlds finest trimmer.
I have those for 223 and 30-06

How long has this been out?

 

[Seagrave1963]

sorted 45 pounds of FREE .308 brass - mostly Federal with some PPU (nny). Now to start depriming...............................

Maybe 10 years or so? Based out of Texas. If doing volume its the way to go. Changing calibers isn't cheap, $60ish for cutter and tool head. If you plan to use different calibers, get some Hornady locking rings, so you never have to adjust again. Just unscrew and replace. Setting up to .001" is a little painful, but once there golden.

I have them for .223,.308,6mmBR, 6x47, 6.5CM and .300 BLK.

Its a huge step up from WFT, but still uses shoulder to index. Its a step investment no doubt but I load for myself and my dad, so prepping 150 rounds sometimes weekly, its worth its weight in gold.

Please your heart! LOL I just can't do it anymore in volume like that.

It is a satisfying pleasure for the minor OCD that my wife claims that I have.
