I will hand prime 300 or 400 .40 S&W cases this evening.
At least it's something [Coffee]
Built my closet reloading bench for my new Hornady LNL classic. [Coffee] Well, almost done.
Sized blackout brass on the nut cracker hand press during my down time
Looked at it while typing this response.
Tried to locate what ever it was i lost. Then measured how much more room i need, for another Blue Meanie.
Looked around and said. Damn this place is messy, then quickly vacated the room.
I help preserve the environment by recycling aluminum cans and turned them into 1200 gas checks. Then I installed them on my 9mm boolits. Now it's time to load them.
I have a reloading room?
I tumbled a few pieces of brass for about an hour the other day.
Finally got it all set up and took a step back and :)
I thought about how to build a swing up table in my garage, next to one of my cars so I can have a workbench and convince my fiancee that reloading is cheaper than buying factory ammo so that I can buy a reloading setup.
Currently thinking about just getting a tumbler and hand primer so I can clean and prime the 3-4k of .223 and .40s&w brass that I've been saving.
Converted from .45 LPP to 9mm SPP and then loaded up 200 9mm. I'll bet you had all of yours loaded up before I even swapped priming setups!! [Coffee]
100 300 BLK 200 .223. Then I looked at the buckets and buckets of brass that still need to be processed. Le sigh.

Ohhhhhh Pretty
sized and trimmed 100pcs 7mm mauser brass
Walked in, grabbed some ammo to weight up my pack, flipped the presses the bird, and did 9 miles in the hills.
Tomorrow I sort the .223 brass you processed for me and maybe load up 25 of my new pet load for the .260.
Sized / lubed around a thousand cast .45 bullets with / for a buddy... goes fast when you're shootin' the breeze.
Figured out I have about 3/4 of everything I need to load the calibers that I shoot.
I loaded up 50 12ga slugs, nothing to exciting.
Couple hundred 9mm... but also bought 2k primers.
For several years, my ammo stash has been split between the garage and the basement, and here and there. Stuffed into dozens of ammo cans, just in general disarray. I've been schlepping it all into the garage, and resorting and recanning it all. DAMN, what a chore! I've got way more than I thought, yet I'm sure many of you have lots more. I just have so many different calibers, and different loads in each, keeping them sorted and stored is a challenge. Then I need to do the same with the two shitloads of brass I have in buckets......a dozen calibers, from pure filthy to polished and primed, and all stages in between.
It's hell being an anal, disorganized packrat and hoarder. Yet I'll still pick up every damn case I see.....
Killed terrorists on Rainbow 6 on the Xbox for a while. Yep, gotta nice little entertainment system in my man cave.
Processed a few thousand pieces of .223 brass and organized my newly acquired primers. Still have about 8,000 cases to work on tomorrow.
i went a fired 100 of my reloads and some .22lr before the weather turned bad. headed into work to see the bare shelf's with hardly any ammo.
now currently tumbling the rounds i fired! waiting on bullets i ordered a month ago, processed 1000 .223 cases back a month ago all ready to go just need primers, powder and bullets and a little of my time.
Finishing up processing of ~3k pieces of pistol brass. I need to do a cleanup after that, then maybe load 400-500 rounds of 9mm later.
Loaded up 50 9mm with small magnum pistol primers which was all I could find. If they fire OK in my CZ I'll start loading up the rest. They should work but before I load up a whole bunch, need to make sure...
I trimmed around 300 rounds of .308 brass, then primed with my hand primer until I got a blister on the back of my thumb.
Received the bullet feeder for my LNL AP and installed it. 100 9mm in ~12 min taking it slow and easy to start. I'm more than happy :)
I've been helping my old fire chief learn to reload over the last few weeks. Hopefully he'll have some free time tonight and we'll load up some 223.
I produced my first round ever. I'm grinning like a mule chewing barb wire! . .45 acp on my new Dillon 550. Can't wait to go shoot some of these.
On a side note, thanks to a lot of you bums for posting info to help a guy out. I appreciate it!
Why does this come to mind when I read your post? [Coffee]Quote:

Holy Smokes, glad that's not mine.
i didn't do squat on the bench today but this thread is quickly becoming one of my favorites. Thanks for starting it, very motivational.
Cleaned and primed about 100 peices of .223 still got a bit more to go.
Damn you! Keep your negative vibes away!Quote:

Loaded 100 rounds of .45acp single stage. Trying some W231. Went to BluCore today to shoot them... 3 hour wait, said fuck that and went home to watch Batman.
Just razzing you a bit. Everyone who loads had never done it until the first time they did it. I've been doing it for over 20 years and haven't destroyed anything yet.Quote:

I suffered from this once, so I went out and shot the hell out of everything that I had. Clean slate, dirty brass but at least you know where everything is and had one hell of an afternoon!Quote:
