What did you do in the reloading room today?

[Tim K]

Hey, that was for me! Thanks dude.

I’ll keep that in mind as an option Hoser but I’ve got a bunch of crimped 9mm I’d like to load too. A 1050 or 1100 looks like just the ticket.

Once I cut back on the hookers and blow, the 1100 was very affordable.

Lol Hoser, fortunately neither of those are consuming my disposable income ��, but cutting back on the craft beer may help. I?m hoping I?ll get a bonus this year to fund a new press and if not I?ll just thin the herd a little.

I have a 1050, but I still have Hose do once fired .223 for me. His ability to trim them while processing them is so much faster than me trimming one at a time on a giraud. Getting roll sized as part of the deal seals it for me.

I’d let him do your 9mm. The roll sizer will get rid of and bulges from unsupported cases.

I saw a post from Hoser a while back on another forum about lubing cases for Dillon progressive presses when loading pistol ammo with carbide dies. The comment was there are those who use lube on the cases and those who have not tried it. I have always skipped the lube when using carbide dies, regardless of the progressive press I am using. I set up a new XL750 in 9mm with Dillon carbide dies and tried Hornady OneShot lube. Hoser is 100% correct, the press runs so much smoother with much less resistance. I’ve taken the loaded rounds and dropped them in the tumbler for 15 minutes to remove the lube and this works great. Thanks Hoser. Still considering an RL1100, may be close to a purchase now. I’ll have to get an RT1500 too so I can trim 5.56 cases.

XL750 is running great, glad I picked it up.

Finished the last of the brass i was organizing and tumbling.

Once that was done, this last week loaded 1700 125gr plated FP's 38 spl

1K 158 gr plated FP's, 38 spl

700 125 gr 38 spl jhp's .

Once i get motivated i'll burn out what i have remaining of 158gr jhp's in 357. Along with the 300 158 gr LSWC's in 357 too.


Went looking for some wheel gun ammo before labor day, last year. Forgot i handed most of it off the the daughter. So...... needed to accumulate brass to load enough to hold me over, the next 6-12 months.

Wheel & lever guns are fun, when you get tired of those new fangled semi auto's

Hell yeah they are.

And old friend of mine dropped by the house last night. He wanted me to teach him how to reload on a 550 as he had only used a single stage.

Ended up loading about 250-300 rounds of 44 Special. Turns out I had never loaded 44 Special. Luckily, 44 mag dies work fine.

I have a 44 conversion for my 1050/1100s, but that would have blown his mind and he kinda wants a 550.

What load did you end up using? I’ve got a few hundred new .44 special cases I need to load up. I’ve got some powder coated 250 grain cast hollow points I will probably load.
