What did you do at your reloading bench today?
Re: What did you do at your reloading bench today?
I was checking my 243 brass today with my dial calipers. I slipped with one piece of brass and the calipers fell to the floor which has carpet on it. That short drop rendered my calipers useless. There is virtually no way to reclock my calipers. I search YouTube for answers and found the only way to do it is remove the hands from the dial. I bought them off Amazon a while back checking there I found more complaints about dropping them. Dont drop them or you will be getting new ones.

Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......

I usually use an old time Brown and Sharp vernier and have a wooden floor in my reloading room so no worries but thanks for the heads up.

Loaded up some Colt 45 Red Dot ammo I shot up last week along with some .44 Mag 200 gr. plated with 9 gr. Unique that the 1873 Uberti/Winchester loves. Shoots well in 44 Mag revolvers too.

Deprimed some 357's and 45 colts.
When I came in from work, wife was gone.
So the Rossi's and I rung the gongs, from the porch and the side yard.
Man those are 2 Very fun rifles.

Randy I couldn't agree more. My 357 Mag and 45 Colt levers just hit all the right notes when shooting. I can't stop smiling when I shoot these lever guns.
I just put together another 143 rounds of 45 Colt today. i know it's an odd number but I just wanted to fill up my last ammo box of 45 Colt.

I cannot find any Grendel brass, even once fired. So, I'm stuck with loading my 357. Jeez. I'm trying a new powder, accurate number two. The range load is 8.6 to 7.9. I'm using 7.5 as a starting point. Put up a hundred of them just last weekend. Loading under 125 grain FMJ. I'll shoot them out of the pistol first to see how they do. If they do all right, I'll put them in the 357 Henry.
I'm interested in how the lighter bullets will do. And the faster burning powder also.

Remember, it's not how many guns you have. It's how many bullets you have.

Thank you. I'm not experienced with making cases.
