What did you do at your reloading bench today?

[JEBar]

broke the primer punch pin in our Universal Deprimer Die with only a handful of 38's left .... called RCBS and told them I broke the pin and would like to order some replacements .... having dealt with RCBS since the mid 60's I was not surprised but delighted to hear that they would send some replacements at no charge

Loaded up some 180 gr .357 and 250gr .45Colt. Heading for the range in about an hour. About time!

Hey Rifletom, just got back from the range yesterday. Shot the same rounds. 180 Missouri HI Tek .357 from the Henry and .45 250 grn from the Henry and Blackhawk.

I really like my load on the 180s, it will be my standard now.

its easy to see why you like the 180 gr'ers .... looks like they should serve you well

[Rifletom]

Dang, r-n-g, that's some fine shooting! I'll let you know how I do when I get home. Getting ready to load the truck now.

UPDATE ===>

as shown below .... after writing the above I removed the threaded cap that holds the pin .... to my surprise, what looked like a small spring fell out .... while it is obviously a spring, its been compressed into serving as a spacer .... after getting it apart, I realized that I didn't know if the spring is supposed to be on top of the cap of the pin our if the pin is supposed to be inserted into the spring .... took a quick look and couldn't find a diagram so, once again, I called RCBS .... this time there was no wait .... I told the fellow that I called a couple of days ago and had a question .... I mentioned the compressed spring, he didn't have to look up anything in his computer and jumped right in .... he asked for our shipping address and told me that he is shipping a complete new rod and additional spare springs and pins .... once again not surprised by RCBS's customer service but once again was delighted by it .... when the replacement arrives I plan to take it apart and see exactly where the spring goes

Great Shootin RnG. I like that HS-6 as well in the 45 colt. Ive had good luck with it there and in 40 S&W

I've accumulated enough brass, powder, primers, to last me for a while. Got to get busy now correcting that situation. It's a vicious cycle, I can't seem to break.
