What did you do in the reloading room today?

[cfortune]

Bought 400 bullets for the 6.8 and got 500 in the mail for the .308. I'll be in the garage all day tomorrow I'm sure.

Made my first 120 pieces of 300 BLK brass tonight, planning on tackling a few more tomorrow. Then do some searching for a better bench so when my 650 show's up I can get it set up right away.

I tried a few hundred the old fashioned way. I pulled what little hair I had left out.

Thats why I have the set up to make them like I do now. In fact, I originally wanted to build a 302 Whisper, but I couldnt find any decent reloading data for it and JD Jones was not willing to sell me any. And thats how my little venture into the 300 Whisper/Blackout began.

Yeah, it's tedious at best, but I actually kind of enjoy the tedium of it, sometimes. Work requires my mind to try to keep track of a million things, plan, plan again, and re-plan and generally burns me out, so the mundane time at the loading bench is actually quite welcome hahaha. But I'm pretty sure I wouldn't want to have to do it on anything remotely resembling a time line.

Sized and trimmed 5.7x28 brass. PIA being they need to be trimmed every load!

Bought a tiny 1.25 cu. ft. cement mixer from Horror Freight, and ordered 25# of stainless steel pin media from Pellets, LLC. I wanna do the wet polishing thing, but don't wanna fuck around with the small quantities that the Thumlers will only do. So I should be able to run 25lbs. of brass at a time.

Ain't set up yet, don't have the media yet, and it's still winter. So I've been depriming cases by the thousands to get them ready.

Y'all keep this 'lil experiment of mine in mind, I'll be sure to make a thread about it. And if it works as good as I hope, then I'll be offering polishing service for large quantities later on. Details to follow in a couple months.

I was just taking about getting a cement mixer with another member. Defiantly interested in hearing how it works.

Do you have to remove the paddles in the drum or does it have any?
