What did you do in the reloading room today?

[Linkless]

Loaded 200 .308 loads for my PTR-91 which is suprisingly easy on brass. Followed it up with 500 rounds of 9mm Major for my CZ Parrot and about to start on 250 rounds of .38 Special cowboy loads.

Started planning on how to fund an RL1100 or maybe a good used 1050. Crimped brass is starting to pile up and it would be nice to be able to swage primer pockets as part of the loading process. I think I’ll focus on small primer pocket brass first.

I ran about 4,000 pcs of 223 brass through the rollsizer and then put them through my Dillon 1100 for a forum member. No more primer, no more primer crimp, nice round necks again and all trimmed up nice and square. The shoulder is also bumped back a couple thou. Then tumbled them all clean again.

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.

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.

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 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
