What did you do in the reloading room today?

[Zombie Steve]

I may get to do some hunting after all, so I filled up some space with .338-06 and .45-70.

Pork shoulder on sale at Soopers $1.79 a pound. Picked up an 8 pounder for the weekend smoke.

This is reloading, not reheating
Safeway also has beef & pork ribs marked down.

Yesterday I taught some reloading to my nephew. It was about the most exhausting 6 hours I have ever spent in the gun room. Two broken decapping pins, one broken primer seating assembly, bent decapping rod assembly. He loaded 300 rounds of .223 on the 650 and 50 rounds of .30-06 on the RockChucker. He had about 20 bad rounds of .223. I might break a decapping pin a year, but I still can't figure out what is wrong with the primer seating assembly. The actual rod is sitting proud of the body locking up the shell plate. Luckily I had a spare of everything.

In talking with my wife, I have not yet decided if some people just should not reload, or if he just needs to learn more.

Loaded up about 1,000 rounds of 9x19 for USPSA Carbine matches with 115 gn bullets.

Really impressed with Eggleston coated bullets. Accurate, cheap and local.

I sorted the 5+ gallons of brass I'd produced over the last 4 months and then dumped in a couple of buckets. 9, 40, 45, 300, 5.56 all in a couple buckets. It took 4 hours.

I tested the Eggleston 180 Poly coated bullets in my STI 40s last weekend. It takes 0.1 less grains of powder to get the same velocities than the older moly coated bullets. They are plenty accurate. I have 147gr 9mms to play with and I really need to grab some of the 200gr 300 blackout bullets to play with.

^^^^What's the word on those 200gr bullets feeding in an AR?

Be interested to see how that goes, the 208gr amax are pricey. I ran my first batch of subs and apparently didn't load a string low enough to find the "these don't cycle' batch.

Don't know yet. I need to grab a box of them and start playin. As it stands, the theory to shooting them is solid. It's just a matter of seeing how well they feed and what recipe is the sweet spot.
