What did you do in the reloading room today?

Let the sheathing begin!

I took a projectile inventory with the intent to pare down the breadth of my selection.

Hot off the press this morning and was able to get some shooting in before the thunder and ensuing monsoon hit.

 

[jjohnsonElknewbie]

FL sized/necked down 100 pieces of .308 brass for my 7-08.

FL sized/necked down 100 pieces of 6.5-284 brass for my 25-284.

Mounted new Hornady micrometer to my seating die and determined settings for 3 different 7-08 bullets at constant OAL.

Prepped and primed 200 pieces of starline brass for my daughters 223 Tikka.

Embarrassing reminder that I don’t shoot as much as I used to.

Waaaaay too many bullets.

I just moved. I was shocked how much lead and copper came out of one closet I agree though. Bullets didnt collect on the shelf like they seem to do these days

I did score a 550 dillon with a pile of goodies. Impatiently waiting for that to get here.

Love my 550. Recently bought a second one in the new version and need to get it set up.

I've loaded for my 44's,45's and rifles on a single stage press for the past 20 years. I'm rather excited to be done with that

You’ll never go back!

I looked around it and thought......."gee, it's winter, I should take my bow press down and put up my reloading stuff and load up a bunch of rounds". But the stuff has all been waiting for me to do that a few years already. I have enough ammo ready to go to last me a few years, but I'm not sure whether to load all of my components up, or just keep them loose for now.

I agree, the Dillon 550 is a very nice press. It's a big upgrade from any single stage for sure. I have to say though, the 750 with a case feeder is actually way nicer yet.

 

[jjohnsonElknewbie]

Pressure tested some 162 ELDX for the 7-08 over SB 6.5. Gonna load up 20 today and see how they shoot.

 

[elkmaster]

Today I loaded a small amount of rounds to test for pressure signs in a new rifle and prepped some brass for follow up loads. Seeing what other people are doing in their loading rooms motivates me to spend more time doing something I enjoy and don’t do enough of.

Post up what you’ve been doing as big or as little of a job as it might be, hell even cleaning up your bench counts!

bought more equipment

 

[SloppyJ]

Picked up an itellidropper recently and have been playing with it. Got to the range last weekend to put some bullets down my new 6creed build and continue load dev on my 300prc.

I got distracted by the long range steel and had a blast walking both out to 1100yds and getting some velocity data.

I think I had a batch of some hot H4350 because I hit pressure about a grain off book max. However, the velocity was there too so not all is lost.

Been decapping and cleaning brass all night. I was a little bummed that my lee decapping dies stem was too big for the peterson SRP 6creed brass I have so I have to wait for a new stem to come in for those.

I need to cough up the dough for a 750 one of these days. I just don’t do a lot of high volume stuff

 

[sierracharlie338]

First batch of TMKs ready for their maiden voyage in a RSS. Waiting on scope rings.

.243
9MM
.410 -2-1/2"
.410 - 3"

No more cases left to stuff. I am at full capacity except for the handful of 300WSM and 30-06 in the shell block. Waiting on those pesky 150 grain ct bullets still......I am about to make a massive switch to a more common bullet.

That’s a nice set up, I’m a little jealous
