So.. what are you reloading at the moment??

[sugarcreekbrass]

Yesterday I swaged my 556 brass and started loading it. I am hoping to finish that today and get 9mm started. I want to get my loading out of the way because a friend is wanting to learn so when the .45 bullets come in, I can help him load 45 acp and 44 mag.
The past two day I got to try out the wet tumbler I bought at Harbor Freight. I must have missed seeing a sale price b/c it was $10 cheaper than listed. I took advice on what I had read here using it. Yes, the tub is small, but I ran a batch for 1 hr, then put that on the dehydrator, and started another batch. I could do that while I was prepping brass.

Just started working up some new 9mm loads using Alliant Sport Pistol. I am working up loads for RMR 124 gr JHP (MPR) rounds, and RMR 147 gr FP.

Load development is a slow process, but I do enjoy it.

Finished depriming the 5gal bucket of 38 brass. Might need some replacement parts for my frankford hand deprimer or another option for depriming besides on a press.

Loading 308 Winchester with 150gr FMJ over WIN748 for my AR10.

I finished doing 556 today. Switched my LCT to 9mm. Had to set it up as it was the 1st time doing 9mm. Once I got the dies set, it was smooth sailing. I love this turret press and the priming feature. I tried priming with it on 556 and 300 AAC but had all sorts of trouble, even after swaging. It was awesome to go through all the stages. I know it's not a progressive but I can get almost 200 bullets an hour. For my shooting and reloading, that's good enough for me!

I had some spare time tonight and ran a quick batch of 200 .45 ACP target loads. I’ll probably run another 300 rounds this week and then switch back to SPP and do some more .40.

Hard to beat a nice evening listening to old music while reloading.

De-primed a bunch of 45acp brass, and in the process I learned that I believe the hand primer I have is missing pieces, and the prime built into my press doesn't work great or I'm dumb.....maybe all 3.

 

[BigDaddyDisco]

De-primed and swaged about 500 5.56 brass. Now waiting on the last couple of batches getting their bath, then on to resize.

Loaded up 50 .300 Blackout subs. Using 180be Berry bullets and CFE BLK. Nice clean load.

.223, but converting military brass to use for this.

I have done so many in the past couple of months, for one, I am done re-sizing and de-priming of all the reusable brass I own.
But now I see shiny things going into dark places when I close my eyes.

I have done the primer pocket prep. Just a matter now of cutting to proper length.

All with single stage press (Rock Chucker) and hand methods.

I have to buy some more primers and bullets to get through this over five thousand quantity batch. I have about half enough. Good on powder, for now, but I will run out toward the end.

FUN!

I know some do this in far greater quantities, but this is my ME time and my favorite hobby.

Just sized / de-primed a coffee can of .223 they're back in the tumbler before trimming

Spent 35minutes de-priming 44mag brass only to notice towards the end that it's actually 38spl/357 mag brass.
*Facepalm
So now all that brass is up fro trade since I can't use it.

Tomorrow it next week I'll get started on some 45 acp
