What did you do at your reloading bench today?

Actually cleaned my Winchester SXP 12 gauge on the reloading bench this evening. The bench is getting more use for 2nd amendment chores. No cleaning weapons on kitchen table anymore. My wife is even bothered by the scent on Hoopes #9.

Don't buy a flintlock unless you want to forget how to reload cartridges....it's been so long I'd have to start over.

Never owned or even cared to own one.
I do though have 3 percussion rifles, and 4 cap & ball revolvers.
But, I could never see those taking the place of a good cf rifle or handgun.
Plus all the cleanup those require, nope never happen.

If I had a flintlock, it would be an unused trophy piece over the fireplace. I wouldn't want the mess that goes with using one.

I had just bought this '51, and these were my first shots.

The '58 was my first and this was the first time in a good while since I last shot it.
It's my ugliest and favorite.

On another note, deprimed some 6.5 brass, and a few 41 mags.
Also loaded 24 210 xtp's over some 2400 in 41 mag. brass.
May try to use one of those on a deer.

Those are real nice revolvers. Good shooting.

I've been working around the property. What little loading I've done is to wrap up some 9mm, and 45 colt loads I worked up. I did start loading some 357 mag yesterday.

I chose to go with a new powder, even though I've got plenty of Clean-shot and some loadings for it in 357 mag. These loads are using IMR 4227, which seems to meter well out of my RCBS charge master supreme.
Some speer 125's

Speer 158 grn jhp

extreme plated

Matt's 155 lsw loaded to about 950 fps with the 4227 handgun load versus the rifle table.

Matt's 165 .358 gas checked

Matts 165 .359 gas checked

Hornaday 180 gr xtp
