Re: What did you do at your reloading bench today?
Well, still a bit rainy outside so I decided to stuff some 357's this AM so as to pass some time.
180gr pugnose over some 2400.

Walked my daughter's 17-year-old boyfriend through loading a .357 cartridge with a Lee Classic Loader. He's got an engineering-type mind and is very interested in processes such as that. Really a fun 8- or 10-minute deal!

That’s great. Nice to see another generation showing an interest.ditchparrot wrote: ↑Mon May 12, 2025 12:39 pmWalked my daughter's 17-year-old boyfriend through loading a .357 cartridge with a Lee Classic Loader.

Re: What did you do at your reloading bench today?
My reloading room is silent and probably will be for a while. I have so many odds and ends loaded up I need to shoot all of those up before I start more loading.

Re: What did you do at your reloading bench today?
The first set of rifle caliber bullet swage dies arrived yesterday...
With the above set I can de-rim 22wrf/22mag cases into 6mm jackets. Then draw down, 6mm jackets to .22 jackets, and de-rim 22 rimfire cases into .22 bullet jackets.
It has core seat and core swage dies.
I also have 4s, 6s, 8s, open and lead tip point form dies.
Arriving today is a second Walnut Hill 2 press, 308 spire point die set, 358 die set along with a few other bits and bobs for swaging.

Similar here. My cheapo gun cabinet, I put shelves in, is full. Some overflow in my reloading bench drawers.
