What did you do in the reloading room today?

[sierracharlie338]

Well my loading room is 98% packed and ready to move. Close on Monday and start moving stuff while a few final tasks are completed. I’m about a month from being able to load anything again.

 

[BCsteve]

Swaged the crimped primer pockets and annealed some Hornady .308 Win brass then made them .358 Win brass.

 

[49ereric]

had primed 223 mixed cases ready to load so I loaded a 100 with W748, mag primer and a Hornady 2270C bullet. Plinking fun…

 

[ResearchinStuff]

Finished my batch of 6.5 Creed. I've been chipping away at my 20 gauge hulls too, down to about 100 empties.

I did fail at my goal of filing every empty in the house during February, but probably have a years supply of everything stocked up

 

[Q_Sertorius]

Finished assembling my new reloading bench down at the farm and mounting my press.

 

[Roboz]

Finally wrapping up some loads for my 6 creed with Sierra tgk’s.

 

[Roboz]

Oh, and finally making room for a new charge master! Pretty excited about that one!

 

[Mike D Texas]

About to start experimenting with the NAS3 cases.

I bought 20 round of loaded ammo so I could pull bullets and hopefully see what type of powder they are using.







Charge weight with 150 NBT bullets is 50.5 grains of unidentifiable powder. Looks like a flattened ball powder with either a copper removing agent or a temp stabilization agent. Has that tan/green color like Varget or H4895.





Factory ammo on left, reseated one on right. I pulled the 150 NBT with my RCBS collet die with about the same effort as a brass cased cartridge. The I ran it through my Redding bushing neck die with no issues, set final neck diameter with a mandrel then seated the 168ABLR with no perceivable additional effort above a typical brass cased cartridge.



Velocity data forthcoming.

[49ereric]

Another 100 223 mixed cases I had primed now loaded with W748, Mag primer and a hornady 2270C 60 grain bullet.
Set the rock chucker up with the rcbs ram priming tool to prime more cases.

 

[Backcast88]

Loaded up some 135 SMK with n160 and some 140 TGK with RL23 for a 270 ladder test.

Also loaded a some 150 TTSX for my 30-06 to confirm some data and play with seating depth a little.

[Pilsner]

Today I deprimed, cleaned, annealed, sized, chamfered and de-burred over 400pc of 223 and 150pc of 6.5 Creedmoor.

I did much the same but with more 6.5 creed and different brown water.
Also spent 2.5 days cleaning out and unf*cking my shop. Even found my work bench top for the first time in a year.

 

[49ereric]

Primed and then loaded a 100 223 mixed cases using W748, mag primer & hornady 2270C 60 grain bullet. Plenty of 223 cases to swage up next.

 

[Nykki]

Prepped 300 357 cases. Primed and loaded 100 of them, 11grs AA7 behind 50 Nosler sphg 158gr and 50 Sierra jsp 158 gr. Will see which one shoots the best out of my Dan Wesson 15-2. Have to wait for a little warmer weather. Below zero in the morning and teens mid afternoon aren't good shooting weather for an old man.
