What Did You Do in the Reloading Room Today?

[792mauser]

Loaded 54 rounds of 30-30 with unique and a 110 gr pill for plinking later in my savage.

[Cmoor]

Cranking out some more subsonic 9mm for the Banshee.

147 grn. Blue Bullets poly-coated over 4.1 grains of Ramshot Zip

For some reason when I look at those I think of the Blue man group... lol

Neck turning 308 brass

Seating 75 elds a lil deeper as they won’t fit in mags, booooo. They were a lil tight and caused flyers at the range last week.

They were meant to either be single loaded in .223 or fired from .224 Valkyrie chambers.

where did you hear that? ive been shooting 75s in ARs LR for years. only reason i had an issue was I loaded em slightly longer in an old modified mag i sold with my JP.

I formed some 7.65x53 Argentine brass out of 30-06. I've never done that before and was surprised how easy the brass reformed.

[gunluvver]

I've been going through my brass and found I have way too much 30-06. I'm starting to clean and sort it. It's once fired and deprimed commercial. I'm Keeping the military to reform into 7x57 and 7.65. I even found 100 cases of virgin Winchester brass. I guess I'll be doing some horse trading with it in the near future.

[Cmoor]

I decide to do some brass clean up the last couple days ... Sorted out un-primed and cleaned the following; 2000 Winchester 45 Acp, 1000 9mm, 800+ Hornaday 6.5 Creedmoor and 1000 38 special.

[samnev]

Loaded 150 rounds of 7.62X54R and 50 rounds of 7.5 Swiss.

18 months after moving, I finally set up my reloading room. Partially, at least.

Over the past few nights and days I've managed to decap and resize about 4,800 pieces (weighed 39 lbs) of 9mm brass. Running it all through some corncob now to get the lube off, then I'm going to dust off the wet tumbler and make it all purdy.

Took a pick halfway through the nickel plated stuff.

Also sat in front of the TV last night and sorted a bunch of once-fired 300 Blackout by headstamp.

Thinking about digging out the HF chop saw and jig next, and start chopping 5.56 brass for 300 BO conversion.

What have y'all been working on?

Doing brass prep, a lot of it. Running clean brass through a decapping machine. Then the roll sizer. Then through the Dillon case processor for resize, swage and internal case expansion. In a couple weeks I will run about 100K 9mm and be set for the year. Then I have another run of 45 to fully process then load about 20K 45 which I have not shot for years.

Sometime this year I am going to make a bunch of 300 blackout brass with the new case trimmer on the case processor. Uses a 2.5 horsepower router and close to 20,000 rpm's. Should get 2000 per hour with this setup.

Switching to wet cleaning brass before I touch it to lower my lead levels more. Using a cement mixer and a detergent with no pins and it comes out really clean. I evaporate the water and scrape it down and a friend deals with the lead residue for me.

Didn't you buy some reloading supplies from me at one time and met at sportsmans warehouse years ago?

I'm jealous. I'll probably always be stuck using the Harbor Freight chop saw/Amazon jig method for that.

I'm sure that I did! Which Sportsman's Warehouse?

I-17 and yorkshire, think you drove a 4 door car. At some point I may open up to trimming 300 brass for others.

I was probably driving my Summit Restoration work truck at the time? Let us know if you do!

[Old Jeff H]

Ran 1,300 pieces of 300 BO brass through the Giraud trimmer last night and this afternoon. Those stubbly little things are hard to hold onto! My thumb and index finger are sore.

[knockonit]

inventoried present primer status, and decided to grab more from a venue out on the webs. finished reloading over 20k of 9mm over last couple months, and a couple k of 10mm, next is .223, have a few buckets of brass to reload, then my yearly allotment is complete. yeehaw
