What Did You Do in the Reloading Room Today?

Welcome to ArizonaShooting.org!

Join today!

Still no powder and primers to be had in NW part of the state, hit Bruno’s a lot when I lived in the valley, pretty much gauge how the gun industry was doing at the time by the amount of supplies they had in stock. Good on you 1182 for getting your buddy set up.

I hear ya, I know a couple of guys whose wives "won't let them reload in the house" even though they have empty bedrooms in the house, so they do it in the garage.

I do it in a spare bedroom, in air conditioned comfort.
 
I just cannot stay in the garage long in this heat even to reload, my last house I had the garage air conditioned and really regret not doing it here.
Once my last one moves out, Ill have a room to reload in.....but no money to spend, freaking College is spencive.
 
The last thing I did was repacked a couple of boxes of Berry's Hybrid Hollowpoints that split open during shipment. Fortunately the outer box held so I didn't lose any this time.
 
I found an old one pound cardboard can of Hodgdon H-380 and rediscovered that it is a nice spherical powder suitable for 30-06. So I loaded up a bunch, and will take them to the range early next week. I wanted to go today, but it was raining. 8-)

Looking forward to the range report!

So I made it out to the range today. Shot some of the 30-06 with H-380 powder. It performed so well, that I wish I had more of the powder! Mainly because it meters so well, not like the stick powders that you usually associate with the 30-06.
Also, at the range I tried out my new brass catcher for my AR-15 in .223. It is called the Brass Goat and it attaches to the magwell and has a detachable catch box that will hold 30 cases. My impression is that it is GREAT! Much better than the velcro ones with the mesh bag. After 100 rounds, I can say that I lost no brass, had no malfunctions and none were damaged in any way. :D
 
Ran a bunch of pulled SS109 bullets through the bullet size die. Not a fun task.

I’ve had these for awhile and never had issues but a friend with some from the same batch got one stuck in the throat of his rifle. If I’d realized how much deformation there was from the puller, I’m not sure I’d have bought them. Still have a few thousand to go.

Going to check my pulled tracer projectiles too. After that I’ll have a lightly used .224 bullet size die for sale.
 
1k of 9mm and about 500 of .357, needed to cool down from trying to organize the new shop
