What did you do at your reloading bench today?

[cooperhawk]

I have backup. this has been sitting at the side of the bench for like 4 yrs. now.
Glad I got it back then, $20 per lb. Now I wish I had bought more.
So I poured a lb or so in the smaller bottle and am ready to go. May be a little dust on the bottle...as the song says.

I gotcha there, my Unique still says "Hercules" on the bottle, or can, whatever.
Dusty!

Nothing. A lot of honey-do stuff for Christmas has taken priority.

Mine is closed for the season.
Back to something after the first.

I deprimed about 800 to 1000 38 spl cases, and nearly 500 9mm cases.. I have 500 primed sig 45 acp cases on the way along with a good deal of blue bullets for various calibers.

Well, back at the bench and over-did it. I prepped loads of cases for .243, .44, 7mm-08 and .308, and gave myself "tennis elbow". In this case, "press elbow". Case prep is the unspoken dirty work of reloading. There should be medical treatment literature on the subject other than a couple of ounces of single malt.
Fortunately, it doesn't affect touching off the finished rounds at the range!

Cleaned a 357magnum revolver tonight at the bench. No ammo but routine cleaning, My wife has a very acute olfactory system, migraines are easily triggered. Can not clean at the kitchen table with most cleaners including Hoopes #9.

loaded some .280 and 12 ga.

Sub zero temps so I separated brass down to .1 gn.

Moved the wife's fire pit 100 feet to make it easier for her to walk the dutch oven out. . . . .

Everyone else is prepping, loading or shooting . . . what am i doing wrong?

Sub zero temps so I separated brass down to .1 gn.

I only separate cases by headstamp, but even though they are the same Mfr, they do vary by several grains and sometimes even more. Do you find this .1 grain cut to be effective?

I spent the day (lots of rain and wind here in NH) reviewing the results of trial loads for my .44 Mag. Close to making my choice on a hunting load. Then cleaning and prepping more cases. (I had to use two hands on the press since my tennis (aka "press") elbow is still complaining.
Like most, I won't get back to loading until sometime next week.

Meanwhile, a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all on this Board! I hope you all get a gift of the new gun you've been longing for!
