What did you do in the reloading room today?

[49ereric]

Had an issue using a hand reamer in the primer pockets, too tight caused a burr and loaded cartridges wouldn’t fit the case gauge. Remove the burrs and gtg.
Ordered a rcbs swager.

 

[49ereric]

Resized 150 223-5.56 mixed cases and trimmed a 100 that were recent range pickups and the 50 I shot for barrel break in. Swaging comes next for all the cases that have been prepped.

Ordered a ton of shotshell reloading equipment to start doing that for a 16ga I’m waiting to have delivered.

Prepped some 223 brass. Looked at all the boxes of ammo for my 223 Ackley that I rarely shoot any more (it’s a big heavy gun). Seeing all that nice brass just sitting has me itching to improve my tikka 223. Might drop in to my smith and see what he’d charge to re-chamber and set it back. Probably should have pulled the trigger on the group buy, but I had just ordered a Dasher barrel.

Swaged and loaded 50 223 mixed cases. 50 grain Speer TNT, W748, Rem 7 1/2
Cold front currently so might be a spell before I shoot.

Bought Lapua brass for 300 WM.
In process of cleaning my gun. Switched bullets so I like to have a clean barrel from baseline.
Picked up a Forster Deluxe case for my bullet seaters (perfect).
Picked up Redding Application Media. Much better than dipping the necks or bullets in the dry lube itself.

I use and like that stuff, too. Just make sure you don't spill it!

Bad weather = reloading

Hundreds off 223 mixed cases to swage starting soon.

De-primed and wet tumbled a crap ton of new-to-me 1x Lapua 6.5CM brass. Getting ready to load up a fresh ladder of 127gr LRX for this weekend, along with the remaining 44pcs of 145gr Match Burners for plinking.

I switched to a TRX-925 scale and my one small batch of 129ABLR loads were heavy for the same velocity. I've loaded ~150 of these with the old scale and velocity was constant. Now I'm needing an extra ~0.8gr. But on a good note, that known velocity produced the same accuracy. Need to recheck basically everything now.

Loaded more .308 with varget

 

[Mule3006Elk]

Gun is mostly cleaned. Carbon gone. Copper gone. I placed a mop saturated with Bore Tech C4 Carbon Remover in the area where Carbon rings might form. I don't have a bore scope. More to be complete and it takes very little time. O/w I rarely clean this gun unless accuracy drops.

Tonight I'll load 30-06 175 grain Terminal Ascent, Lapua, Winchester LR, H4831SC. Brass is already prepped. Just last week, I hooked up an old webcam to my laptop to view the beam scale. Older eyes LOL. Truth be told, even when my eyes were perfect I should have done it sooner. So much easier and faster IMO.

Hopefully, hit the range in the next 1-2 weeks, let the barrel settle. Shoots 3/4" with a dirty/fouled barrel. Test case to see if this load shoots better clean, dirty, and how many rounds to settle in.
Then, off to BLM land to do Kestrel velocity verification. Should set up nicely for field training practice and hunting season.

Loaded up 88 ELDMs and RL-23 for my 22 Creed. This combo has worked well in my other two, so should hopefully be a winner again. Gotta wait for this damn wind to die down first

 

[Castle Rock]

Don’t let the wind put you off, you can tell if it is going to work

Just got some dies for my 6mm arc, so I loaded 3 different loads for that gun with 108s. Then I loaded another 100 223 trainer rounds with 73 ELDMs. Also prepped and primed 150 more pieces of 223 brass.

Midway was running a sale on factory second 6mm 107's so I picked up 400 of those to use in fire forming loads. Today I'm planning on annealing a bunch of Grendel cases, to be topped with the 107's and H335.

 

[MD97756]

Figured out my rail was loosening up. Now to begin the reloading process on the .308 again

 

[UnckleBob]

I loaded 50 rounds of 6 mm 105g Midway Seconds for 6 ARC.
