What did you do in the reloading room today?

[KS63]

I use a homemade lanolin lube on my pistol cases even with carbide dies. I feel that the sizing stage is a lot smoother and that helps in my powder drop consistency. No jarring or bumping to remove the sized case. I use a Dillon 550 and lube makes the entire process smoother. I tumble the completed rounds in corn cob media for 30-40min to remove the case lube. People say that’s too much work, but I enjoy the results.

While I had the die out, I cleaned it up and added a drop or two of synthetic motor oil. I don't think I noticed a difference for more than maybe 20-25 cases after that though, which is to be expected since I lubed the die, and not the individual cases.

I hid Christmas presents in my reloading room today. The wife has found a few around the house, but almost never ventures into my reloading room.

While my son watched the second half of Die Hard I tested the Lee Auto Drum for the first time and loaded 80 rounds of 380 acp. Powder measured very consistently for me. I think I will order some of the spare drums so I can leave them set for the loadings I will do over and over.
