What did you do in the reloading room today?

[Hoser]

I have been pretty busy these past few weeks processing brass for friends. Finally got around to doing something for myself.

I turned a 5 gallon bucket of Lake City 223 brass into 300 Whisper/Blackout brass.

Running it through the annealer and then it will be time to load up another batch of Gallant 217gn BT coated lead for plinking.

Finally got around to sorting and tumbling a bunch of range pick up brass...A good problem to have.

Started loading up 223 ammo again. I have enough brass on hand to wrap up two 8 lb jugs of CFE223.

I normally use Varget, but I am going to keep that for bolt gun ammo for now.

27.3 gns of CFE223 and a Hornady 55 FMJ go the same velocity as 26.5 gns of Varget, and it will also shoot just under 1 MOA 10 shot groups out to 400 yards. Time will tell if it is really cuts down on copper fouling. Not that is a huge concern, I have access to cleaning rods and patches...

Cleaning? Need to rent some minions? Cleaning can cut into trigger time ya know.

Oldest minion will be learning reloading for pistol this summer and hopefully rifle over the winter.

large dillon tumbler is b/o until who knows when. So i converted a treadmill in to one.

Made up some 300 Whisper/BLLK brass for a local guy this weekend.

Turns out that Hornady Frontier brass is garbage for 300 Whisper. What a pain in my ass.

Stick with LC and life is good.

Does looking for a SIG 938 safety spring and plunger count if it went flying in the reloading room?
