What did you do at your reloading bench today?

[Vaquero]

Those pugnose 357's showed up yesterday, I sat them on the bench.
Pretty little red buggers they are.

Sounds like another trip out back of the barn is due

[Vaquero]

Yeah, I emptied a few yesterday in between the 45's.
I will give 'em a try shortly.

I reloaded 100 rounds of Elmer Keith loads for my 45-70. 400 gr speer over 53 gr 3031. theses are my go to round for hunting.

Cleaned it up a little yesterday. Things were getting out of hand. I will probably load up some extra plated 230 grain round nose .45 ACPs before Clovispup and I go to the range today. Don't want the Pup to run out of .45s.

Sizing brand new 35 Reminton cases.
Decided to shoot 35rem in Lever Action Silhouette this year so I broke out a stash.
Have a good stock of Speer 180 and 220 flat points. Testing Barry's 158s

Looking at those .35 Rem cases; you fellas have any issues at all with that brief shoulder on those cases? Or it simply isn't problematic? Thanks.

I use a Lee universal mouth expander die and don't have any problems.

[Vaquero]

Never had a problem loading jacketed stuff.
But for cast I bought a Lyman M die, which is basically a neck expander.
Have a couple of them in different calibers.

Before I left for work this morning I loaded 14 of those pugnose 357's.
I like that wide flat nose.

After looking at these bullets I dug out the jar with the 180's that my buddy used to cast.
They are very similar, the lube grooves are a little different but the nose is the same or so close I can't tell.

Well this morning I loaded a few rounds for the MX, then
I cleaned primer pockets, neck sized, and primed 70+ 45 colt cases.
After lunch, yep ate it at the bench also.
Then I built that lower.
It has finally stopped raining.

Not so much as did anything at the bench, but, I did add another box of 250gr RNFP Missouri bullets to the bench and a couple of ammo boxes. My local handloading store had loads of Missouri bullets, so picked up some this morning. I'll be back at the bench Monday.

[BigAl52]

I loaded up some 40 S&W to take to the range. Shot them in my Ruger PC 40 and they shot very well had 2 different powder charges. Also shot the 357 today it functions like its supposed to. So now I have a 158 gr Rose Bullet and the Rifletom 180 load. Gonna work on some 41 mag stuff in the future.

[Vaquero]

Hey Al, what kind bullets ya playin with in that 41?
I know you said yours doesn't feed the longer bullets like mine.

[Rifletom]

[Vaquero]

I have some 220 MC and some 215 SWC a guy over east cast for me. I also have some Xtreme 215 stuff along with some GC 215 SWC a guy in AZ cast. Ive got enough 41 bullets to shoot along time. Need to get the Freedom Arms out and put some down range with it. I havent even shot that gun

[BigAl52]

No Scope on my 41BBS. Just 67 yr old eyes and iron sights. Gonna use irons as long as I can.

[Vaquero]

Sounds interesting, with some variety.
The FA's what's that got 7.5, 8.5 inch barrel?
I took a nice little doe with 6.5" 41 BH several years ago.
