What did you do in the reloading room today?

[Castle Rock]

Broke two shitty Lee priming tools, both pretty well used , maybe 3 years and worn out.
Rem primers (fat) in Euro brass ( tight).
I generally like the lee priming tools because they are fast and when they are new they work great, but I’m done with them now, broken way too many

Bench or hand priming tool?

Bench or hand priming tool?

One of each

One of each

I’ve broken one, but I really like the bench mounted priming tool from Lee

All I did yesterday was clean up my bench a little.


I still use the Lee hand primer. The older versions. My thumbs don’t like me after doing a hundred or so cases, but they work well. I would buy them when people sold them for cheap, so I have about 6 of them total to use for spare parts if needed.

Knob 12...good choice!!

It is a tasty one. Im a fan of the Knob Creek Single Barrels. The 12 year at 100 proof is easy to sip. My wife picked that up for us a few weeks ago. She does not buy nearly as many bottles of Bourbon and Rye that I do, but anytime she comes home with a bottle it is a good one.

Damn you. Haha your always killing it in the reloading room and drinking good liquor

Life is too short to drink bad Bourbon!

Worked on bumping up my 300 blackout subsonic loads. 190 gr are at 1000fps, and my 220gr are at 850. Trying to get both closer to 1050.

What powder are you using?

What powder are you using?

Accurate 1680, seems to run my 10.5" AR pistol well. I am new to the Blackout, and will probably mostly shoot supers, but I had to make some quiet stuff also.

 

[Matt5266]

Im using 11.5 grains for my 220s. Getting 950 fps out of my 8 inch barrel. Good groups, proper feeding and bolt lock back.

That might get you close to your goal with a 10.5
