What did you do in the reloading room today?

[Dos XX]

Finally found some 7/8 claybuster wads for my trap loads today; gonna run out of Xtralite powder before I shoot these up. Probably should find a new recipe for trap loads my arthritic shoulders can stand; gotta be one that uses powder I can find. Looking, too, for some Trailboss for my plinker loads in the leverguns; down to my last full pound of 4759.

Have you looked into Perfect Pattern powder? It is good for that size load and is available. It is a dense powder. You might need a 3/4 oz wad for it to stack up good.

Added an arca rail and swept bolt handle to my 22-250.

 

[actionshooter]

Pulled out 500 rounds of creedmor brass that needs prep and did everything else I could think of because I hate brass prep..

My reloading bench is pretty messy right now but here you go.

I installed two flush mount Inline Fabrication mounts so I can swap equipment out as needed. One is on my main reloading bench and one is across from it on the peninsula bench which makes it nice if I want my bow vice on it. I also use that spot for trimming with Henderson. Love that thing.

I use all three types of brass cleaning tools: a dry vibratory tumbler, an Ultrasonic cleaner, and a rotary wet tumbler. I really can't decide which I like best. Cleaning brass is one of my least favorite parts of reloading.

I use the Benchsource two-torch annealing machine. It has worked really well for me.

In my opinion, the Primal Rights CPS is the best priming tool on the market.

The Autotrickler V3 has been an excellent investment. I just wish I had a couple more of them.

I really like the Redding T-7 turret press. It has worked well for me. I had two of them but never used the other one so I sold it.

The Inline Fabrication rails, trays, tool holders, risers, and bins really make it easy to set everything up just how you want.

Messy, my ass! Killer set up man.

Get the Ingenuity trickler for that V3. It really works well with it.

I have been on the wait list for their dispenser to come out. So far, I haven't seen anything. Hopefully it will come out soon.

If you already have the V3, you just need the trickler. I think they have those. I have had mine for a couple of years.

I have been waiting to spend the money on the IG full machine. I didn't want to buy twice. I am glad you like yours.

Put together a 223 wylde after tearing apart the old 22 grendel I got back from a friend. Loaded some rounds for it with the 69 tmk and varget.

After range threw the brass in the tumbler.

Been processing a bunch of range brass 9mm and 223 for a couple days, then this afternoon decided I don't want to use that and ordered 500 pcs of new 223 starline. So may either recycle, pass along this brass or just toss to the side for a while.

Loading some 570 in the 257M to see what accuracy looks like at 67.3 gr. Should be up around 3130-3140 fps according to my pressure test

How accurate does that thing dispense N570? I cut kernels on occasion because most are .1gr in size.

Pretty good, I had a couple over throws that came out at 67.34 (0.04 over) but at this point in load dev I still shoot them

 

[Huntinfool72]

Loading up some 300 win mag! Been too long since I've been in the reloading room!

 

[The_Crab_Slayer]

Just getting started reloading. I have a small office that I have converted one side to reloading/rifle work bench. Here is my set up so far, still trying to get everything organized. I went and shot my first 20 rounds of hand loads today.

 

[wapitibob]

Chopped the barrel to 20" for something to do, then screwed around with different loads and messed everything up. Got it back to shooting OK, and shot a 200 zero last week. Went out today to check drops.





Took off 1 click after the 1st shot at 800

Sure looks like COSSA to me!

 

[sportsmans challenge]

Over the past couple days annealed nearly 2 gallons of 223 brass, tumbled that and 1 gallon or more of 9mm.

Been working on some loads for a 16" 223 wylde using 69 tmks.

Chopped a handguard down in length.

Brass for next barrel showed up today. I wasn't expecting this much shrinkage.

7STW - 7PRC

I have this issue when swimming in cold water…

I have this issue when swimming in cold water…

As long as it doesn’t turn into an innie you aren’t looking like a turtle in his shell.

 

[MCF]

Tried to figure out which shell holder for the press and the FA hand primer to use for a new to me caliber…6.5 PRC.
I CANT FIND ANY INFO ON THIS! None of the charts show the 6.5prc. Called FA and they don’t make one.
Went ahead and sized some new brass with the same holder I use for the 270 Wby…
