What did you do in the reloading room today?

[Hoser]

Turned 500 pcs of 308 brass into 260 brass for a buddy in Texas. Next step is to wet tumble them clean, touch the necks with the Giraud trimmer then anneal the necks.

Some calibers/bullets, yes.

For me I think the big gain is a slight jump in BC but a much more consistent BC without trimming meplats.

Have you ever tried to fill the cavity?

[offgrid]

Seriously? THAT big of a jump?

A friend pointed some Berger 140 VLD's for me, shot out of my 6.5x47. 7% increase in BC. BC increase is not the whole story. Loaded a 10rd mag, alternated between pointed/un-pointed, shot on paper at 550yds, two targets. The pointed bullets had half the vertical.

Get off my koolaid!

Finally finished sorting 6k+ 9mm brass. For the second time.
What a pain in the arse.
Bucket is all WIN, WCC, FC, FEDERAL, R-P, Speer, Starline, PMC. etc.
Coffee can(s) is PPU, GFL, GECO, S&B, CBC/Magtech, etc..
Also found a few .380, 9mm Mak, Ammoland and berdan cases missed the first time.

[gnihcraes]

tumbled 1000 .223 brass, dry etc. (last few days)

today
Sized/deprimed all
started trimming..

[Hoser]

Processed (roll sized, FL resized and removed primer crimp) about 2,000 9mm cases last night for a shooter that lives in Idaho Springs.

Tonight I have a 5 gallon bucket of 9mm brass to roll size for a local shooter.

Loaded my last 150 rounds of 40, and primed about 300 more.

[brutal]

Loaded up a ladder of 110gr AMAX over H110 300BLK last night. Have more to do today but work getting in the way. So much for PTO.

I really need to get an electronic scale. I use the lee discs for loading all the spherical powders and a drop charge for stick powders, but these workups are slow going with a beam scale.

[Alpha2]

Yes, Lee discs are EVIL, and hell-spawn. It's like "one size fits none". Beam scales are better, digital scales are better. But, follow the instructions for calibrating. You will never look back.
