What did you do at your reloading bench today?

Whoa! Those are some long a** bullets there! 748 or Varget looks ok. Do you need mag primers for the 748?
This gonna be a fun build. What's the rifle?

Tom I don't know about the mag primers, I haven't looked into it yet, but if so I have 1200.
The rifle is the cheap Savage Axis, I bought it second hand.

Just picked up a Might Armory universal de capping die (works on everything without any adjustments and is rock solid). De capped 200 rounds of .38 in just a few minutes.

I made a new post about the die (http://henryrifleforums.com/viewtopic.p ... 52#p190052)

Now its time for a Jameson and watch the sunset !

Try the Harvey Deprimer= no press needed and it fits just about every caliber. There is a video showing it at work.

The difference for me is I have an automatic case loader on the Hornady and do not have to insert a cartridge one at a time. Saves a lot of time.

I do however prime one at a time with the Lee auto bench primer.

I have a RCBS universal decapping die that works on everything I load from 25-20 up.
It's set up on a separate lee single stage.

I haven't been shooting since early November, so I really don't need to reload. I still have several hundred rounds of 357s waiting their turn at the range. But like many of us, I enjoy reloading, so this morning I put up another fifty rounds.

Years ago, I settled on 13.9 grains of H110 under 158gr Zero JSP/JHPs for use in my handguns and rifle. At the time, I made a dipper (a modified 9mm case with a straightened paper clip handle) that scoops that amount much of the time. Occasionally, it's a tad more or less, but I always weigh each charge; so then I either trickle a bit more or remove a bit to get to 13.9 grains.

I have a Lee Single Stage Press. After charging the case, I visually confirm it before topping it with a bullet. Once all fifty are charged, I seat the bullets, then crimp and box them. Each round gets inspected after each step. It's simple and slow, but consistent.

Fortunately, my inventory of components is pretty good. I still have 1000 primed .357 cases on my bench and another 3K WSPM primers in the cabinet.

I really want to shoot again.

nice handmade powder scoop .... reminds me of the one that came in the Lee Loader kit that I bought back in the early 60's

I've got the complete set of Lee Dippers, too.

As do I, plus all the ones that came with the Lee dies.
