What did you do at your reloading bench today?

Finished up my 45 rounds of .45 Colt Black MZ loads. Why only 45? Cause that's all of those Hornady FXT short cases I had.
Today being a rain day I will reset the Dillon for standard length .45 Colt and finish up the 230 gr/ 5.5 Red Dot Cowboy load for the Remington.

I cut down a 5 shelf metal rack that was gave to me by my LGS just before going to the dumpster. He gave me two of them and I set on up for my wife to keep her washing machine detergents on. The one to go on the end of my loading and work bench was to wide so I hack sawed an inch from the base mounts of it to make it fit. It now fits between my bench and my safe pretty nice and don't look bad either. I will keep containers of brass and maybe barrel cleaning solvents and some other things that are either in my way or I can't find when I need them. I am limited on space so I have to try to use every available amount of space that I can fit something in that will have some shelf space. The shelves adjust to different heights so it can be adjusted to hold taller things I may want on it. Sits nice and solid on the floor and shouldn't ever tip over. Had to mount it side ways but it is open all around so no problem getting to things. Could have cut it down 2" on the width but looked like it would be to tall for the width to be stable. I will work on other gun room projects while still in "jail" from the lock down. Fifty days and counting. Not going to count many more before I am "breaking out" and they can stuff their law.

FYI, everyone has their go to place for powder and primers which are in short supply right now.

I just ordered 2 pounds of IMR4198 and 2 pounds of H322 from Midway. They are only charging $11.99 haz mat for the order.

They have been out of powder for a month, and its cheaper for me to pay the $12.00 for haz mat than what I would pay in Gas driving into Phoenix and back.

Sounds like a no-brainer.
Congrats on the score

Nothing yet, been busy all day. 2 doc. appts. this AM, new scope arrived, got it mounted, bore sighted. Probably re-size some 45/70 brass tonite. Maybe go sight the scope in tomorrow, if the weather cooperates.

Sitting here trying to figure out why my bullets that left Spokane Wash last Monday and went to Colorado Springs arriving there yesterday. They have now made it to Denver and are coming up to Greeley. The Post Office wonders why there going broke.

Al, I feel your pain. I've been down that road more times than I can recall. They've been broke several times. The Gov. keeps
bailing them out. I long for the day when they let some private co, like UPS or FEDEX take over.
You'll go nuts trying to figure out how or why they do things. I can't repeat some of the things I've had to say on this subject.
It'll eventually show up, but it may go to your heirs by then.

Amen Grunt,
Been there too.

Today I was going to work up some 30-30 loads for an upcoming Silhouette competition then found out for sure it was canceled. Sooo I have some primed cases. Kind of took the wind out of my sale even though I thought it would be canceled.

I hear ya. The weather has been doing that to me.

I got started on sizing and de priming some .223, and then trimming cases. I've got some work to do. My Son gave me some 5.56mm stuff,so I had to separate that and then swage out the primer pockets. Ughhh.
Tomorrow I'll be working on the same brass. At least I'm hunkering in. I can't complain.

[BigAl52]

Fell off my reloading stool in disbelief. My bullets have finally been delivered.

[Grunt67]

Lubed & re-sized 50 pcs 45/70 today. Got plenty more to do.

[kstate1100]

Loaded a few test rounds of 45-70 and fifty 32-20 115gr LFP in Remington nickel plated brass. Rounds look pretty cool with lead bullet, nickel plated case and federal primer.

Later today I have more sizing and trimming to do.

Nice bench, Moe. I have the same trimmer.

Nice bench, Moe. I have the same trimmer.

Thanks Larry, it's actually my multi work bench. It gets tight working on it when most of the re-loading equipment is still there. Even cleaning a Carbine it gets tight. I've got a nice basement that I should have already built a nice bench in there.

The trimmer is new, and if you have to trim cases, it ain't that bad. So far nice and smooth, and seems to hold zero after 100 cases.

Yesterday I took all the stuff that had piled up on both my gun room benches while spending my time on stock work. Got way out of hand to where things I need were hidden under other things I didn't need. So I had enough of looking for things and got them back to where I had them before the junk piled up. This is how they were kept before messing them up with stuff that needed worked on. First is my reloading press bench. Press mounted to be easily removed with C-clamps. Have several 50 round boxes of 222's to load over the next few days. If it is calm tomorrow they can wait. I am going to the range and shoot my CZ's. Been to long now with no shooting.


My do everything else work bench. Had to use pictures from earlier but I cleaned it up and made it look like it did before I piled it full of junk. Now it looks pretty nice again. Still don't have a new camera. Maybe get one now that things are getting better.

I've trimmed hundreds of cases with mine, never moved. My bench gets crowded when reloading, so I've got a folding 4ft table I set up to clean the Henry, etc. Put an old bath towel over it, works good.
Take care, brother......
