What did you do in the reloading room today?

I sort my 45ACP brass and adjust the press for whatever brass I'm using.

the bullets are 451 dia i do not think i am belling the to much i am tring it on a new to me kimber i have a old lamma and dads ria shoot them fine i think i might have got a kimber with problems will have to try and shoot factory new ammo but i will try and back off the flaring/belling thanks

It's wasn't broken just put together a little backwards. Good to go now processing 3 buckets of .223 brass was never easier

I had a Kimber ultra light 45 with factory installed crimson trace on it and loved the size and even shooting it but it would only shoot 1 shot for sure and then failure. Tried all kinds of factory ammo. I could reload for it by making it OAL a lot less than any of my other 45's but then you aren't supposed to use reloads for CCW :) So sold it.

Why shouldn't you use reloads for CCW? Hog wash

You probably already heard all the pro's and con's when you end up going to court for defending yourself or property with reloads that 'could' happen so I won't bother. Plus I drink beer sometimes when I reload :)

i just found that out oal was 1.225 before it would seat?? weird any thing longer it would be in the lands

Removed crimp and cleaned primer pockets on a couple hundred pieces of 556, and loaded 150 ss109 bullets.

Finally got to work and banged out a few hundred 223 plinkers...

nice rainy Sunday, rolled out 500 38spl loaded with 2.8gr Bullseye and a 148gr DEWC with Fed GM primers. Tumbled and prep'd a bunch of LC/WCC 308 brass getting ready to drop the magic 41.3gr IMR 4895 under a 168gr SMK and CCI 34 primers.

Burned out the motor on the bullet feeder. Bent a piece on the 1050. Talked to hoser and he said your stupid but fixable.
