What did you do in the reloading room today?

I'm just going to keep breaking his balls until he joins this forum.

I have about 200 pieces of .260 Lapua brass that have loose primer pockets from a recent excess of enthusiasm. I cleaned, sized, and trimmed them. I'm shooting in the TB Team Challenge in a month, and I'd like to not spend time picking up brass on the clock. I'm going to see if I can find enough marginally tight pieces or maybe glue in some primers and then I'll just leave it lay on the ground after I shoot it.

I hope it's not a stupid idea...

I'm considering the exact same thing, or trying to some how put a crimp in them, I only have about 100 of them instead of 200. I'm trying to figure something out to get them through 1 more firing and being able to just leave them behind is a huge plus.

Zach O has been gluing in primers for a while now with no obvious problems (except having to hammer the bolt open!) that I could see. I was worried about some flame cutting or whatever on the bolt face, but it doesn't appear to be an issue. I guess he uses nail polish to glue them in. It's a lot like the goop they use to seal up primers on mil ammo.

I just did a quick test with a few pieces and some success. With a pair of punches, one to go inside and support the case, and another just barely bigger than the primer pocket, I was able to produce a bit of a crimp like bur in the entrance of the pocket that holds the primer like fresh brass does. I figure that and a bit of nail polish from the dollar store and I should have some good one time use brass.

A guy that I was squadded at the Snipers Hide Cup a few yards back did exactly that. The brass was on its last legs and he just left it. No loss there.

Another reason why I use 308 brass in my 260.

I'm such a dumbass. I didn't transfer my load data for my rem700 sps 308. I guess I need to order some more 150 gn SST's and use some more varget. Damnit.

TEAM LEE!

Waiting on Cabelas to fill my order that has a couple bench mounts for the Lee presses. Looking at 5 or 6" vises...

I think I might slide that bench over 3' to the left and stick the shelving on the other side in the corner.

Guy up here has 6-7 of them caliber specific, load data written on painters tape on powder dispenser. Has then spread out over a nice work area. very clean set up. No matter how much i like blue presses they all do the job, or they'd be out of business.

Ladder loaded 308 hornady 150 gn SST with varget. Had to go with .4 gn increments because I don't have the time right now to do .2 increments. Hoping to find a load that's sub moa.

Im at the point that I'm needing another turret for my T-7. I didn't think I would be loading this many calibers!
