What did you do at your reloading bench today?

[Vaquero]

Well I came in from work took a little break, and was about to sit down and decide what I was going to load.
Well just about then the phone rang, and it's my ole neighbor that moved off to Kansas a few years back.
We jawed a while, and by that time I said the heck with it.

Oh well, tomorrow's another day.

For a long time I would put my brass in an old sock tie off the end and trough it in with my laundry.

LOL!
I did this in the past myself and in reality it's not too bad.

For me however sparkling clean brass gives me a bit more 'positive mental attitude' about reloading - along with the fact I tend to have more prepped brass ready to go than I actually reload for and it just looks much better in the clear plastic jugs I store it in!

And, another advantage to pin tumbled brass is it comes out slicker than snot and cycles a little 'smoother' through the rifles.

This coming weekend I will load up a couple hundred rounds of 200 gr lead now that my supplies are restocked.

[6MT]

Loaded 5 different charge weights to try on my new Winchester.

[Grunt67]

Got 50 pcs. of Starline 45/70 brass primed, flared, ready for powder & bullets. Maybe work some of it in tomorrow, in between outside work, and laundry. A man's work is never done. I think that's the way that old saying goes.

[Vaquero]

Take it easy Grunt, slow and easy.
I did deprime a few pieces of brass.
Headed to bed.

Finally getting and order from Midway placed 3/28.
25-20 bullets Trail Boss powder and some Marlin 60 part, recoil buffer, recoil spring, and lifter spring.
And it looks like some powders are coming back.

And it looks like some powders are coming back.

Yep - and many still on the shelves.

Lot's of 9mm at my LGS the other day but most gone due to the incredible sale price of $8.99 a box.

Heck I actually saw SPPs on the shelf today!

Good to see you back 6MT. Those .357 rounds look good. Nice set up you have there.

disassembled our portable loading station .... installed an Automatic Primer Feed ===> https://www.cabelas.com/catalog/product ... 40330a924f on our press .... simple enough .. .. deceptively so .. .. correctly installing the the wire spring that holds the primers in the tube is the key to the whole operation .... the wire spring can be seen in the picture below and in the following link .... it is held by a single, small screw on the front of what they call the Primer Feeder Body ===> https://www.midwayusa.com/product/1012998776?pid=806746 .... in looking at the small spring it was easy to see that it was binding .... it took me a while to delicately adjust that spring to get it working .... I will not be surprised if I have to call Hornady and have them send a replacement .... I won't know for a while because I don't anticipate using the press again any time soon

[Grunt67]

Just finished loading 50 pcs. 45/70 w/Starline brass, Hornady 300gr. HP, IMR 4198, CCI-200. Gonna give it a rest for a while.

Another cold snowy weekend coming so the press will be busy...

[fortyshooter]

Called Missouri Bullets to get an idea when my order might be shipped. Lady said I was in the system and would get an e-mail when the order ships.
They are really swamped with bullet orders she said. Anyway will leave my .38 setup alone until bullets come.

[RanchRoper]

I read that gun sales in the USA were up 80%. Canada too but the media here will not say how much. But I see ammo and reloading stuff out of stock lots of places.
Sure glad I reload. My new rifle may actually be on its way across the border soon too. Shipping is getting sorted out finally sounds like.

[CT_Shooter]

And I read that a large percentage of those guns were sold to first time owners. There may be a lot of like-new-in-box firearms available in a year or two.
