What did you do at your reloading bench today?

[BigAl52]

Set up my trimmer to trim some 45-70 cases. Gonna load up some plinkin torpedos. Those bowlin pins are gonna take some big lead.

Not at the bench but about ready to order 800 Oregon Trail Laser Cast .357, 158 grain SWC bullets.

Kind of a 'reverse' direction for me as I have been using plated for many years but I always got great accuracy with the Laser Cast bullets and the price is right!

Got some .357 and .45 acp brass cleaned up yesterday. Still have a big coffee can full of .44 Mag and Colt 45 to get to one day.

I hope not! The brass fresh out of the tumbler with crushed walnut. Does a great job and then all I do is swab them out with a cotton swab to get any walnut/carbon residue out of primer pocket.
Va. has 8 cases of the corona and those are in Northern and Tidewater areas....slowly making it's way down I-95 South.

Bought a spare Primer Arm for my press.

Now I can just slide a needed arm in or out.
Always afraid I'll drop and loose the spring changing between small and large primer sizes

My Lee turret press, and my Lee single stag, both came with a small and large primer arm.
Just like Lee die sets always come with a shell holder, unlike RCBS.

Very smart. My whole reloading came to a stop, when I didn't have the correct cup. Two days ago I was switching from large pistol to small rifle, and of course that little Spring decided to fly off under my pickup.
Very smart to have some spares.

Loading 45 ACP today. Local shop doesn't have any Alliant 2400 in stock yet.

[RanchRoper]

Will load some 45 Colt later. 250 gr lead.

Almost made it to the bench downstairs, but my back said no. That fall I took in the woods 2 days ago might take a little longer to heal up than I thought. It's Hell getting old.

So, I guess the answer is ZERO done. Wife just came back from shopping, and bought me some of them back patches. We'll see.

I've got chronic back pain; had a spinal fusion, have spinal stenosis, and an occasional lower back muscle ache just for good measure. There's no treatment that has made any difference. I would gladly accept addiction to opioids (if they would help and as long as I could get them) but they've been so abused that they're not being prescribed to anyone anymore, not even to people who could actually use them. I'm good for about a 100 ft walk or about ten minutes at the sink or stove. Then I've got to give it a rest. But, I take comfort in the fact that my condition could be way worse and it's not... not yet, anyway.

I hope you recover soon.

[dasmoeturhead]

Yeah, I here ya. You'd think after all that you'd feel better. I understand the abuse of opioids, but do they think nobody has pain anymore? I have real pain, Disabled Veteran from it all. It's ridiculous.
I had to go to the VA Emergency room not long ago for the same pain. Xrays say bulging disks, and whatnot.
I hope your situation improves Brother.

I got my carcus out of the chair, and finished some tumbling. The easy part.

You got that right. I"m 76, feels like more. If I was a car, I'd be on the side of the road with my hood up!! LOL
Backs don't get in any hurry to heal.

The VA is a pain itself. Had some bad experiences there. I won't let them do anything invasive on me. Have private docs for that.

[Grunt67]

Finished up a batch of 100pcs 9mm today. Gonna set them aside for a while ( got a few hundred more pcs brass ). Got to focus on the new 45/70. Can't wait to go shooting as soon as the TN weather clears up.

[RanchRoper]

What did I do at the bench today? Nothing, too tired from pushing snow around.
