What did you do in the reloading room today?

[whitewalrus]

needed a 1 1/8" wrench for the case trimmer , regular ones are too thick to fit between trimmer & tool head. So i made one.

looks better than me taking an angle grinder to a harbor freight wrench to get the jaws thinner. That looks really good.

thanks. I was considering that route then said, why not. This scrap is here for projects like this.

I was going to use a piece of flat steel for the handle, then saw a long piece of 1/2" tubing on the rack. Actually turned out, cosmetic wise, better that i thought it would.

Tomorrow i'm making some axles for a generac generator. Those solid wheels are nice, but a bitch to move through 2" of driveway rock.

Hoping to adapt some tube style tractor tires to it. Unless i get SQUIRRELED and go shooting.

68 grains of varget is how I read that at first. Was all "damn how'd he fit that much?" Lol

It just crunches a little when you seat the bullet...


I sent off three bullets to RCBS for a custom seating stem. They should receive the package today.

I'm curious how the newly released lee auto prep press will work out for swaging primer pockets

I'll let you know when my 3d printed case feeder gets here.

Processed 450 rounds of Hornady 300 Whisper(yes, these are factory crimped) rounds including the Swage It device mounted on the Dillon press. It worked great!

did you load to 38 spl powder weight? or go with one of the 357 loads that keep it around 1000-1100 fps?

I really need to chrono it, but I'm loading 5.0 gr of 231 behind a 158gr LSWC. So it's in between .38 special and .357 loadings.

With revolvers I'm kinda an "eh, that'll work" type.
