Re: What did you do at your reloading bench today?
Finally got my part for my press this AM. Now starting loading 50 pcs. 45/70. Gonna have to be trimmed a bit. Give me something to do for a while.

Got some 45/70 in the tumbler,( stainless/wet ). Just to get the lube off & clean back to like new.
Be ready in a few hrs., then ready for primer, etc.

Re: What did you do at your reloading bench today?
Hit a snag on my reloading for 45/70. My powder funnel won't work, too small for the mouth of the brass. Had to order another one from Mid Way. I use the aluminum funnels to eliminate static.
Should be here in a few days, then back to business. Always something, LOL

I do the same thing. I've been using an old Coleman aluminum fuel funnel to transfer powder.Grunt67 wrote: ↑Tue Feb 25, 2020 1:06 pmHit a snag on my reloading for 45/70.

I remember when a man could just walk into a store like Longs, or Payless and buy reloading supplies. The good ole days.

Re: What did you do at your reloading bench today?
LOL, well, you got one on me. Never thought about that, I've probably got one laying around somewhere. Certainly used one many times. Next time, I'll try to scratch my head a bit longer, LOL.dasmoeturhead wrote: ↑Tue Feb 25, 2020 4:09 pmI do the same thing.

True, reloading shelves are getting scarce. Most LGS now are rather small & just can't afford the inventory costs. The Reloaders Bench in Mt. Juliet is the only dependable store close ( 30 miles or so ). They do have a nice selection tho.

Re: What did you do at your reloading bench today?
Funny, I had a problem with the other end when I used to load for 45/70. The rim was too large for my loading tray and had to buy one of the RCBS oversize loading trays......Grunt67 wrote: ↑Tue Feb 25, 2020 1:06 pmHit a snag on my reloading for 45/70.

Pick up 100 Starline 38sp cases and a box of Hornady 200gr rn 35 caliber bullets.
Re: What did you do at your reloading bench today?
Had the same problem with trays, also, had to get larger shell holder jaws for my Co-Ax press. Lot of things don't fit, LOL.Hatchdog wrote: ↑Tue Feb 25, 2020 10:06 pmFunny, I had a problem with the other end when I used to load for 45/70.

Re: What did you do at your reloading bench today?
Well, curiosity got the better of me, so I went out to the shop, browsed a while, and.....found my old Coleman funnel. This this is around 55 yrs old or more. Of course, I found it a bit too late for the ongoing project,but it may come in handy down the linedasmoeturhead wrote: ↑Tue Feb 25, 2020 9:55 pmHahaha.

I also have a nice Stainless Steel coffee cup, that came off an old Aliadin thermos that I use around the Bench just for powder.
