What did you do at your reloading bench today?

[JEBar]

after considering the very limited number of options available right now, I ordered 100 once fired .44 S&W Special ===> https://eastcoastreloading.com/44-s-w-special/ from East Coast Reloading Supplies to load for use in our Roughneck derringer

[Headhog]

I put together 20 test rounds of my 357 Mag. load. My regular load is a hard cast Missouri 158 hr. bullet with 6.2 gr. of Universal and a mag. small pistol primer. Since I'm almost out of mag. small pistol primers (only 200 left) I replaced them with small rifle primers. (see topic: http://henryrifleforums.com/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=11371 ) As soon I can get to the range, next week, I'll see how the velocities compare between the magnum primer and small rifle prime. I plan to test this from both the Henry BBS and the Rossi R92.

When I'm done I'll report back.

WOW, I am really looking forward to seeing the range report and how they preform in the Henry ! ! !

Just received a back order form Missouri Bullets of 1,000 405 grain Buffalo #1 for the Henry 4570 ! . . . 1,000 405 grain What on earth was I thinking of, must have been drinking that night. Its going to take me a month or two to go through 1K 405 grain bullets ! ! !

Loaded up some mini 30-30's
Lol, they are really 25-20's, but they do look like a mini though.
65 gr. fn over 13.0 grs. of IMR 4198.

Didn't reload anything but finally got all my information cataloged and placed in a binder for easier access.

100 once fired 44 spl brass arrived from East Coast Reloading Supplies .... as advertised, all cases were cleaned with spent primers still in place .... per enclosed shipping data they paid the USPS for 2 day shipping :

Mailing Date: 5/6/2021
Est. Delivery: 2 days
Service: Priority Mail (R)

the shipment arrived on the 10th .... guess that's about as close as one can expect

I made an order from Midway USA Thursday the 6th and it included 100 T/C Cheap Shot 50 caliber bullets with sabots. It came the cheapest way and was on my front porch by 2:30 PM. That was like in the Old Times for USPS. Maybe times are coming back.

Just did the same thing MuddyW, ordered 200 Hornady 115 grain FMJ 9mm rounds from Midway on the 7th, they were delivered today !

[NHshtr]

Finally cleaned up the loading area. I had left it a mess. Tools everywhere!
Not loading lately. Been turkey hunting and salmon fishing and not loading. I'll be back to it though when the current distractions abate a bit!

[runnin n gunnin]

Turkey Huniting / Salome Fishing ? Those are not bad distractions NH

[Shakey Jake]

Loaded up some .308 Win rounds for the general this afternoon. 40 gr of Norma 201 powder with Sierra 150 GK FMJBT.

I ordered 300 new Nosler 44 S&W / Special (blem) brass casings from Shooter's Pro Shop .... add them to the 100 once fired cases purchased last week, we should have all we need for a long time to come

[JEBar]

300 Nosler 44 Spl blems are shown as out for delivery and should be here later today

[Shakey Jake]

I ordered 200 .308 WIN cases and 200 .223 Rem yesterday from Diamond K. Should be in sometime this week.

300 Nosler 44 Spl blems are shown as out for delivery and should be here later today

BUMMMMMMMEEERRRR ..... the order arrived but it didn't have 44 Spl, it had 40 S&W Spl .... don't know if it was my error in ordering or not ... I have a call in to Shooter's Pro Shop to see what can be worked out

Finally received the dies and bullets for my 6.5 grendel loading. The only powder I could find was IMR4198. Not high on the happy list for grendel loaders, but on the load data lists. It will do for now.

Got a batch of 123 grain fmj bullets. Again, not what I wanted, but what I could get. Will wait for a hunting bullet.

My first effort at necked casings. Got lube and getting ready. Should have a ladder workup ready by end of the week.

I’ll post results when I get to shoot this beauty.

[Cofisher]

Funny little side note. I decapped the brass a friend gave me. 28 pieces. I do this while sitting in my recliner, comfort first. Apparently, and I’ve experienced this before, I tip my hand press on occasion. For a week after these operations, at random times, I find a spent primer in the carpet. Just an occasional glimpse of brass shining.

Anybody else find this happening?

[runnin n gunnin]

Only once Colfisher around 1979, I am banned from leaving the man cave to do anything with guns and ammo !

I want you to know I wear the pants in the family, my wife just tells me which pair to wear each day, and which leg to put on first.

[Vaquero]

I have a single stage setup with a universal decapper, so all mine are done there.
But to answer your question, it spits quite a few on the floor, so yes I find them from time to time but I am in my cave.
