What Did You Do in the Reloading Room Today?

Welcome to ArizonaShooting.org!

Join today!

Thought I was done with 30 Carbine brass prep for a while, but gunpoorboy1's deal that I picked up will have me busy again on Saturday.

After that I'm going to start choppin' and forming 300BO brass. Going to start with the 1,300 pieces of Speer nickel I have, and hopefully get my hands on some more of that somewhere down the road.
 
Last night I sorted out 500 pcs of LC 5.56 brass and deprimed/formed them into 300BO. My upgraded cutting jig was delivered today so I plan on chopping them to length tonight along with a final trim using the WFT. That'll just leave final sizing and primer crimp removal.

Then repeat all that on 1,700 more pieces. And I still need to put a final sizing on 1,000 pieces that Randy processed for me a couple of years ago.
 
Got some powder and bullets in. Made an order with RMR, unfortunately its shipped via usps. Was suppose to be delivered today but so far its gone from Idaho to Washington to Utah and now in Texas.
 
At 5:00am I got an email from Ammo Seek that Brownells had CCI small magnum rifle primers in stock at 5 cents a piece. I immediately went out to their website and bought a case. I don’t usually use magnum primers in my rifle cartridges. But since I am almost out of small pistol primers I will start substituting regular small rifle for small pistol and small magnum rifle for regular small rifle. Before I start doing this I’ll need to check my loads or reduce them to start off with.

I processed 400 rounds of 9mm cases and 100 rounds of 7.62x25 cases.

I loaded only 100 rounds of 9mm. I had 500 rounds planned but I got interrupted.

I was lucky to get the case of them. I immediately went out to the sight. It was slow as molasses and was giving me cart errors. It took almost 10 minutes to complete it was so slow. Usually when I get those notices I am too late and everything is either out of stock or the sight crashes on me. This is the first time since this panic buying started that I was able to get in and buy something I needed.
 
started sorting a 35 gal container of brass, that fell into my compound, using some sorters i found on the interwebs, makes it easier, but still a whole lotta shacking going on, thought about using one of the tumblers and makinga thing, but...............
 
Reloaded 100 rounds of 6.5 Carcano for the first time. It took me a while to find the dies and proper bullets for this round. The brass was pretty easy to find. This is also the first set of Hornady dies I bought. They are definitely much different than the RCBS & Lee dies I normally buy.
