Well, yesterday before the son and grandson came by I had deprimed some 35 Rem., 38-55, and some 357 brass and had those in the tumbler.
After the son left I pulled the brass and rinsed it off and played it out to dry.
Loaded the 66 pieces of Win. nickel brass 357's with the 180gr PN over the usual 11.5 grs. of 2400.
I then got some other 38-55 brass out and ran them through the sizing and expanding dies.
Inspected for splits, found 3, then primed the other 72 pieces.
I then loaded 12 with a different 243 gr bullets to try out on the gong.
Then the power went out, was going to start on some more 255's.
So, I'll load some here shortly.

Re: What did you do at your reloading bench today?
Well, I got 32 of the 255's loaded, then the powder ran dry.
No worries though, there's at least 4 to 4.5 more lbs. sitting on the floor by the bench.

The powder measure was really high-tech stuff

Re: What did you do at your reloading bench today?
I wonder who supplies their consumables - powder, primers, bullets. ?

Re: What did you do at your reloading bench today?
We could probably load some powder that way. Some max reloads specify a case full of compressed powder.

Re: What did you do at your reloading bench today?
I bought 500 62gr Federal Fusion bullets which are a GoldDot by another name (confirmed by my own testing and others), Ive prepped 400 1x LC cases so far and Ill begin loading tonight. 26.1gr of PP Varmint and a cci41 makes a dandy load. Its what Id call a universal load, its a great performer in all of my 5.56 guns.
I do think I am addicted to reloading.
