What did you do at your reloading bench today?

[runnin n gunnin]

Work of art DG, work of art ! I have enjoyed watching your build. Now get to loading !

[Vaquero]

Got brass in the tumbler.

[DsGrouse]

I am getting it all together, though my other workbench is suffering from it.

[runnin n gunnin]

Nice, I see you have an Inline Fabrication stand. Love inline. I use the stand and the quick disconnect plates for my presses. Makes life very easy and keeps the bench clean !

[DsGrouse]

Mine isnt the swap out version. I didnt know how i would like it. So i stuck with the dedicated lee pro mount.

So far this is a vast improvement over what i had it on temporarily. I think 9mm first, the. 40 and 357 sig.

I need to pick up some 38spl and 357 brass..

Well going to load up more .45 ACP. Might have a drain on the supply when the silencer arrives for the HP Carbine plus a new .45 ACP shooter to have fun with.

[Hatchdog]

Looking good DsGrouse.

You call the room an office but I see other hobby type benches in there. Your new reloading bench will feel right at home. That looks like a fun room.

The question is, if forty shoots suppressed 45 acp in the woods will anybody hear it? How will his range buddy know he is there?

Up until about 5 years ago our AG1 zone property could not have a garage. So, the house doesn't have one. I have my CPU where I do my writing, my original workbench for doing my firearms and hobby projects, my toolboxes and tool storage area, and now this reloading bench.

A couple hits on the big gong and he'll come running! When my son and I were there last weekend I didn't see him around and hope he is okay.

[fortyshooter]

DG... I got caught up on your reloading center which is more than a bench. Great job on that and it looks well setup!

[DsGrouse]

Made enough space for me to sit at the CPU along with cleaning off my firearms workbench.

[damhans]

Loaded some test .38 Special loads with ACME 158 gr. RNFP coated bullets and IMR Red powder.

[DsGrouse]

I have had a chance to test the workbench today.

850 rounds total. 600 rounds of 147 grain 9mm, 250 rounds of 125 grain 9mm

[runnin n gunnin]

Nice, what powder are you using for the 147 grain?

[DsGrouse]

V3n37 at 4.5grn for the teo 147grns rn and fp
5.6 grn for the 124
I have to look up what my load for the 115 haps i have still to load

Looking at my book, i'll likely load 6.2grns of 3n37 for the 115grn hap

[Rifletom]

Went out to the shop, took a look and went right back into the house. The heck with it today. LAZY day today. I'll tackle some handloads tomorrow. Probably some ,357's with coated 158 and 180's. Lounge lizard today.

My wife threw pigeons for me today.

I butchered them clay's ! (well most of them). I found three boxes of reloads in the garage last month and thought I would burn em up. After the first two rounds, took a closer look. Thought they were T&S loads with #8, upon closer inspection of the box, turns out they were duck loads that I loaded in 1972. 50 years and still kicking !

They all ran through the Beretta W/O a hitch. Just a little hot for clay's.

[Rifletom]

r-n-g, I've tried to get my wife to toss clays in the desert. It didn't go well! Most would hit the dirt about 10 feet in front of her. Oh well.

[runnin n gunnin]

Well RT, you got me, I lied. The Wife had the switch for the Champion workhorse clay thrower. She sat in the shade with the switch while I yelled PULL ! ! !

Good news though, no bloody nose from the skull fracture, appears to be all headed up.
