Stay At Home Time Killers

[landon]

I actually hung 2 ceiling fans that I've been needing to do for a few months. It's good to get those checked off my list.

I'm off until the 20th but this is what I have so far, I'm pacing myself.

Caulk around the tub
Re-arrange ammo storage
Clean my side of the closet
Weeds
and
Put up a new flag on the house

The family has been doing puzzles and I’ve been reloading like crazy

Been working in the garage buildings up full suspension atc70. And watching top shot from season 1, and the usual tactical training on call of duty lol

I've been defying government orders to stay home. Going to work , driving around to support business that haven't closed, flying the kids home, having block parties. You know, the stuff we all have a God given right to do.

Been rehabbing a condo for work, but then also redid our RV gate. Removed old wood, cut new wood to size, stain & poly, paint gate, etc. Turned out nice.

I am knee deep in a bathroom remodel, plus a laundry list of other household maintenance items. My house and all the broken things in the garage are very thankful for this quarantine ordeal

Dry fire.

Reloading is a great time killer. Glad I stocked up on components long ago. Working with a single stage press as I don't trust progressives after a friend almost blew his hand off because of one. At least I find it a relaxing chore. But after the guns are cleaned and lubed what ya going to do then?

I have to ask, how in the hell does that happen? everything moves in a stage and you can't duplicate what you are doing because it moves forward to the next phase. I have a dillon precision 650 XL which practically does everything for you.

Can you elaborate how this happened? I assume it wasn't the reloading process itself but an issue while shooting the ammo that he reloaded?

I second this. This doesn't sound right. I could see you double charging a single stage if you forgot what you are doing but a progressive loader it moves to the next phase.

You should really say your friend is incompetent and that you lack the self confidence that progressive press users have. What you said is kind of like saying my friend had a bad experience with sex so I will stay a virgin. I know even more people who have screwed up on a single station than have on a progressive.

My only close call was when I was clearing a jam with a magazine in the pistol and the round somehow went off on the ejector.

You can easily double charge on a Dillon 550 or any press that does not auto index. You can also easily not charge a case on a auto indexing press if you do not pay attention. If I teach someone to reload I include loading squib rounds and loading them in their magazines so they know what happens when you have one and to break the habit of clearing the chamber, chambering another round and then blowing a gun up. I know plenty of people who have blown up guns on factory ammo as well. Nothing is without risk.

I saw that and was glad to hear you are ok. Then again it's not a reloading issue per se but a weird fluke thing that happened.

Not if you use a manual progressive press like a Dillon 550. You can forget to advance it and double charge.

I have a 650 which was supposed to remove this issue. I also have a no powder alarm that goes off as well.

 

[Flash]

I'm curious. How does a no powder alarm keep you from double charging a case?

Doesn't. Read your statement wrong. Stops it from not squibbing anything or limits the chances of it.

How, with a progressive loader which automatically turns and you're powder checking through the die hole are you able to do that?

I would like to know.
