What did you do in the reloading room today?

[bpitcher]

Shot the last of my 108s yesterday and ran a quick ladder on the 112 Match Burners.

The middle of the road charges seemed to shoot best. 40.5gr and 41gr at .47" and .53", respectively. The Hornady 105s and 108s have shown a preference for a little more powder.

Got all 36 cases cleaned and prepped for next week when my next batch of 108s arrive.

That's badass! When will you start taking orders??

If I had the time. I've had a few ask but have to find time to do it. Have complete building items as well as wiring schematic. Cost me about $80 in materials.

I'd totally be in for a parts list and schematic. Nicely done sir!

Yeah, I’d be on the list for parts too. Surely we can crowd fund you a bottle of whiskey for your efforts?

This is a thread i had started. In the thread is a list of all the items as well as an attached wiring schematic.

I just walked by mine and sighed today....

On a bright note, I'm making 50 pounds of snack sticks and 50 pounds of link this weekend.

Put my new shell holder in my press and got some primer on the bench. Slowly getting ready.

Also looked at pictures of an upcoming gun auction at guns I won't be able to buy but at least I can drool over the pictures of a a couple 1873s in 44-40 and 38-40 and some model 94s in 25-35. One day.... One day...

For many years I've been reloading under marginal conditions. Just a closed in room in an old equipment barn. I usually load most of my stuff in the winter when it's cold and rainy and I can't work outside. I run a sawmill business.

This year I built a new room under the same roof, but it's insulated to the max, vapor barrier, fully sealed with HVAC. I just started today framing the first workbench and it'll have a 2 inch slab top 30 in wide and 12 ft 6 long. Hopefully it'll be heavy enough that seating bullets doesn't screw up my electronic powder measure.

Now, I will be able to reload in the summertime. We have a lot of days where the heat index is over 100° and it's not a lot of fun. I've been looking forward to getting this up and running for quite a while.

It sounds kind of odd, but I will sharpen and set sawmill blades on the right hand side of the room on another bench. Hopefully that won't cause too much trouble. And no, I will not store powder or primers or loaded rounds here. The only storage will be a couple hundred sawmill blades.

Looks like a great room! Would love to have a set up like that someday.

Bought blemished 3 1/2” 00 buck @30 years ago. The shells leaked buffer due to poor crimps. Finally decided to fix them by cutting off the crimp and roll crimping.
Most the bad crimps shells have 17 pellets instead of 18 so adding a pellet.
Sealing with Elmer’s glue. A few crimps we good enough so just adding glue to seal.
Think I paid $2.50/box

Threw together a few of my Moly slicked Barnes 112 Match Burners and now once fired ADG brass, H4831SC and CCI 200's for a test drive in a fresh Tikka 1:7.5" 6 Creed' build. Last week I ran it's first 50 rounds of Moly 105 Amax and H4350 to slick things up and grab some data out to 500 meters, It most definitely liked the good old Amax...
