What did you do at your reloading bench today?

[Grunt67]

Today I was going to work up some 30-30 loads for an upcoming Silhouette competition then found out for sure it was canceled. Sooo I have some primed cases. Kind of took the wind out of my sale even though I thought it would be canceled.

I hear ya. The weather has been doing that to me.

I got started on sizing and de priming some .223, and then trimming cases. I've got some work to do. My Son gave me some 5.56mm stuff,so I had to separate that and then swage out the primer pockets. Ughhh.
Tomorrow I'll be working on the same brass. At least I'm hunkering in. I can't complain.

Fell off my reloading stool in disbelief. My bullets have finally been delivered.

Lubed & re-sized 50 pcs 45/70 today. Got plenty more to do.

Loaded a few test rounds of 45-70 and fifty 32-20 115gr LFP in Remington nickel plated brass. Rounds look pretty cool with lead bullet, nickel plated case and federal primer.

Nice bench, Moe. I have the same trimmer.

Nice bench, Moe. I have the same trimmer.

Thanks Larry, it's actually my multi work bench. It gets tight working on it when most of the re-loading equipment is still there. Even cleaning a Carbine it gets tight. I've got a nice basement that I should have already built a nice bench in there.

The trimmer is new, and if you have to trim cases, it ain't that bad. So far nice and smooth, and seems to hold zero after 100 cases.

Yesterday I took all the stuff that had piled up on both my gun room benches while spending my time on stock work. Got way out of hand to where things I need were hidden under other things I didn't need. So I had enough of looking for things and got them back to where I had them before the junk piled up. This is how they were kept before messing them up with stuff that needed worked on. First is my reloading press bench. Press mounted to be easily removed with C-clamps. Have several 50 round boxes of 222's to load over the next few days. If it is calm tomorrow they can wait. I am going to the range and shoot my CZ's. Been to long now with no shooting.


My do everything else work bench. Had to use pictures from earlier but I cleaned it up and made it look like it did before I piled it full of junk. Now it looks pretty nice again. Still don't have a new camera. Maybe get one now that things are getting better.

I've trimmed hundreds of cases with mine, never moved. My bench gets crowded when reloading, so I've got a folding 4ft table I set up to clean the Henry, etc. Put an old bath towel over it, works good.
Take care, brother......
