What did you do in the reloading room today?

[Mojave]

Prepped 600 pieces of new Alpha 25 CM brass. Can't wait to start shooting this thing.

Finally finished up my reloading space. Super excited to get everything moved inside from the shed.

Sweet setup. Can't wait until we build a house and I can get a personal space back. What finish did you go with? I used BIN primer on my shelves and was really impressed. 220 between each coat and it's super slick and being an oil based "paint" it won't stick to whatever I put on it.

Annealed 120 cases of 25-284. Got my measurements, sized, mandrel'd and loaded a ladder test of H1000 w/ 134eldms @ .020" off. That barrel is on the shelf so they'll be sitting around for a bit.

I used 1/2 plywood base and covered that with melamine sheets to keep everything super smooth. I used a urethane alkyd paint to add durability to the top.

I just finished up the mobile cleaning station. I made a butcherblock top out of a bunch of dried sweet gum stickers I had extra and finished it in spar urethane. I do not know how the finish will hold up to cleaning solvents (probably not very well), but it is what I had. The base is a Grizzly workbench base. The chest is a Harbor Freight special. I had plenty of room for my cleaning rods under the ledge and the glove and paper towel holder. It should make for a useful piece of furniture.

Great work thanks for sharing!

What annealer are you running?

I run 54.5 grains of H1000 in my 25-284 with the 134 ELDM @ 3.14" COL. Velocity in 22" McGowen is averaging 2820 with less than 100 rounds on the barrel. Good luck!

Loaded 50rds .300BLK 125gr Lehighs, and 50rds .300BLK 110gr VMax. Whether I see deer or coyotes this fall, I guarantee I’m shooting something.

I'm excited to get my barrel and brass in. Trying out a 25 western in an 18" barrel. Shooting for 3100fps with 133 bergers.

I set a torch on the bench and do them by hand. Tempilaq to get my count right and Fred Eaglesmith songs to keep the rhythm

Hurry up and waiting for my inline fab quickchange to get here. Changed out my dry tumbling media and ran through some 44 mag brass I needed to get done. Next up need to run ~200 cases from the 6.5x55. Garage is a little frigid, so long sits are out at the moment.

Bought me a LE Wilson case trimmer over the weekend with the Creedmoor inserts and the 308 Inserts
Set it up yesterday and gave it a go with some 243 Brass that needed trimmed. I will say I am damn impressed, very good product.

Busy last two days resizing WAAHS 410 hulls and knock the primers out one by one.
Soaked 223-5.56 brass since no tumbler and it worked well. Drying in front of the fireplace now.

 

[Slick8]

I annealed 300 rounds of brass last night; 338 Edge, 6.5Manhun and 6 Dasher.

I'll start sizing over the weekend.

Does the BurstFire run fairly seamless with medium sized cases? I've only run 1 lot of brass through mine and it was 28 Nos, it definitely had a few not drop and I'd have to reach over and kill the torch. The case prep station is awesome though.

 

[Slick8]

I've now ran about 600 rounds through mine but no issues with the Creed, Dasher saum or edge.

I do keep an eye on it while running for fear of this but in reality it's equal time spent in set up then run time for 100 round batches.

Looks like a lot of my picked up 9mm cases are copper washed steel. Once dried the magnet will sort em out.

Edit: chemistry lesson my solution was acidic and soak time was too long that caused the discoloration. Magnet got @40 cases out.
The .223-5.56 brass didn’t do this color change.

Unfortunately nothing so far, despite high hopes. I was meant to be receiving an order of large rifle and small pistol primers that was meant to arrive Wednesday (CCI 200s), but FedEx has been pulling its usual BS. Standing at the door waiting, watched the driver arrive, fail to get out of vehicle, not knock on the door or ring the doorbell or leave a note, and quickly leave before I could get out to the vehicle, despite him seeing me. Fully expect that to register as a 'delivery attempted'. At least my inline fab mounting system has arrived so I can do a little organization.
