What did you do at your reloading bench today?

[Vaquero]

R&G, hope it pulls through, lost a good one a couple years ago. I know exactly what you mean about animals vs people.
Good luck.

Thanks Vaquero, didn''t intend to start a whole thing about it. We are very grateful that we have been given more time with her, she is like a pup again after the surgery, and free rein to chase quail and tear it up. We got her at 11 months old as a rescue, had been terribly abused, so we are glad we have been able to give her a few good years.

By the way, I have told you this before, don/t ever change your picture. Al Swearengen is my all time favorite and if I passed you on the street, I would expect you to look like your picture.

Well.... you'll be in for a surprise, because I don't look anything like the man, but
I can have his foul mouth at times.
Check out my post in the good morning thread today.

Don't get it, other than the goat, you look just like Al ! Those are two fine looking young men who look like the old man is providing the foundation and guidance to survive (also like the swing).
I was sporting a goat that was very much like yours, just shaved it off.

[Vaquero]

Lol, if you think so.

Nice, what press do you sue for your shotgun?

I thought it was a good shot and I knew the wife had taken the pic because those boys was laughin and Randy wasnt.

Back to loading; going to load up some more .45 acp and some .38 spl. Really don't need either as I have plenty. But, what the heck, keeps me in the shop.

[Mgderf]

I sized and primed a couple of boxes of .32S&W (short) cases last night.
I'll be loading them up with black powder here in a day or two.

I need some food for a sweet little Iver Johnson "Safety Automatic" top-break revolver that I picked up in a recent auction.
I'll try to get pics posted later, but this example is in at least 95% condition.
It's a "First model" example, which dates it to 1895 I believe, and the serial number is 16.

[Travlin]

I have one of the later "smokless powder " versions of that revolver. Funny thing about it, the double action pull seems easier than the single action. I am sure you know this but keep your loads very light for the old top break. If you have some OO buck pellets you can use them for projectiles to make a light plinking load. Use just about a .22 short case full of Bullseye or Red Dot and shove the round ball against it.

[Shakey Jake]

I need to reload a lot of different calibers but probably won't get to it today.

[Vaquero]

Lol, exactly Jake, pretty sure of it.

Must be something in the air. I went out to my loading area, kinda looked around and thought, naw, not today. Briefly straightened up the bench and piddling around to make my wife think I'm actually doing something productive. We'll see how that goes.

Since mine is an early "First model" dating to 1895, I will be loading black powder exclusively.
Mine is also a DAO having a completely shrouded hammer.

[Travlin]

Does yours have a transfer bar? Mine does and that just shows that Ruger had nothing new under the sun. I think that the round ball loads would work with FFFg. Also don't forget to use a black powder bullet lube. Good shooting.

[Vaquero]

Speaking of the little 32's, I have this one.

Sized, gaschecked and lubed the same noe bullets to .431 for my ruger sbh 10.5" to try next weekend, .432 shoots extremly well but are oversized for the cylinderthroat so trying same bullet with .431. Also loaded up some 265gr Saeco rnfp cast bullets aswell, to see wich performs best. Have a magnum bullseye championship in our shootingclub soon.
