What did you do in the reloading room today?

[TheBelly]

I loaded 50 rounds of .308 yesterday. I was trying two things out:


1. Seeing if my new awesome crimp die will work for .308 also. I only crimped 25, so I've got a little pool to get a decent average with. The crimp is also really light compared to what I've seen on factory ammo.


2. Seeing if the 175 SMK 2nds I got are worth a darn. I picked them up for 22¢ per, so 1k was easy. Even if they are nothing but training rounds for the next month, that'll be worth it.


i crimped 30 rds of my .260 match ammo to see if that will help calm down some of the SD and ES I was seeing.

Was offered this reception desk, if I want to bother dismantling it and somehow getting it into my basement. It's pretty big, but I was thinking of using it both as a computer desk and a reloading desk. I don't use the computer in the basement much, but it's where my media and file server, etc. is. On one hand, I think it'd be perfect, but on the other it's huge and would be a major PITA for me to move...

I'd also probably have to add something stronger to bolt the press to, since I'm pretty sure this wouldn't hold up alone.

Pretty biog footprint there. Then again, nothing is impossible.

That's an expensive desk by itself! I see lots of good storage for reloading components and/or computer stuff.

Finally got to move/re-align shelves and benches. We needed to put the aquaponics closer to the drains.

Turned 1,000 pcs of 223 brass into 300 Blackout brass and got started processing about 7,000 pcs of 5.56 brass for a friend.

Dropped my loaded 223 into a case gauge. Seems like the batch that doesn't like to feed is almost gone. Loaded 200 rounds 223 with the die set just a little deeper. Loaded 250 9mm. Separated my 223 brass by trim or no trim piles. Called the guy who borrowed my super swage and asked for it back.

Considered selling ing my reloading gear once I consume the components I have on hand.

DON'T DO IT.

I'm working more than ever. I never seem to have time to reload. Was thinking of getting rid of the progressive setup, buy an entry level precision gun with the proceeds, start buying Tula for the blaster ammo and keep a single stage for the precision. Hmmmm.

[Hoser]

keep a single stage for the precision. Hmmmm.

Yup. Everyone knows that you can not load accurate ammo on a progressive.

I am glad nobody told me that before I started loading long range rifle ammo (223-338 Lapua) on my 550.
