Re: What did you do at your reloading bench today?
this morning I decided to load 100 full power 44 Mags for use in our Henry .... when I went out to setup our portable reloading station it turned out to be way too hot, too humid and too windy .... as an alternative, I decided to stay inside and use our Lee hand press .... that is something I haven't done since the late 60's .. .. doing so quickly reminded me of why I bought a RCBS Rock Cruncher .... it took a while but I completed loading 100 rounds using CCI Large Pistol Magnum Primers, 23.8 g of W296, and 240 gr Nosler JSP bullets .... well before I finished using a Lee crimping die as the last step on the final round, I'd made up my mind to wait out the weather the next time I decide to make some bullets ..

Well, weather was cool today, 95 12% humidity, so I set up a 270 range and worked the black guns.
I have about 1,000 pieces of brass to clean and prep now, will start tomorrow.
Oh yeah, I had to share the range today with a friend

Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......
