What did you do in the reloading room today?

[ray1970]

I?ve got a bunch of brass processed and ready to load.

Need to get some components rounded up and start loading some rounds.

Seems reloading components have been hit pretty hard in the panic as well.

Seems like this thread ought to have a lot of activity right at the moment. I know several of you have probably loaded every empty piece of brass you own by now...

I have been processing tons of brass on the weekends, still having to go to work weekdays. Gonna load 100rds of 223 52gr smk tonight to shoot this weekend.

I have a ton of brass to process as well, but the 650 is down, part on the way from Dillon.

Tumbling a bunch of brass while I work remotely. Getting it ready for some weekend processing. I'm also going to work on one of two bags of cleaned 223 I've had sitting around forever. Planning to show my son how to set up a pistol caliber on the 550 this weekend and let him work through all the steps with me.

Set up the 550 press for 5.56mm and ran off a handful of test rounds. Fired them for good results. Set up a turret press for .308 Win.

Anyone have a method of ensuring powder doesn't get hung up in the powder drop on the 550 when doing 5.56? Using 4198 and 99% of the time it seems I don't have a problem but when it does hang up and then falls all over the place when I move to the next station its a pain. Saw on Dillons site one forum message suggested putting a vibration device that was foot operated and use it during the drop. Wouldn't know where to get something like that so wondering if anyone else has to deal with this.

Hoser has a post about how to polish a Dillon powder measure in this subforum. Do a search (sorry, I'm only hit-n-running the forum this morning).

Thanks. Found it. Plus last post there from someone mentioned using a fish tank bubbler, hadn't thought of that, might be something like that around here.

124 grain FMJ and titegroup for my 9MM. This is easier then casting projectiles .
