What did you do at your reloading bench today?

May load up some 40's today. Had to work on the Dillon press yesterday to get it running right.

What happened to your Dillon?

Going to load up some 45 Colt today using the MB 250 gr. RNFP with 6.0 of Red Dot. Good accurate plinking load. I have a bunch of .45 Colt ammo in various Unique powder loads.

I have 3 only bought one of them new. The others were used. One is a later model the other is an older model like the first one I bought. The Square Deals have auto rotate on the shell holders. There is another adjustment to it besides the adjustment for the auto prime bar. The shell plate was over traveling causing it to go out of aline with the hole for the priming bar. It was misaligned and munching primers. In order to adjust that you need to take the center block out of the loader to get to the shell plate rotation arm to adjust how far it rotates the shell plate. I need to get a parts kit from Dillon and do some updating on it perhaps. My oldest machine has been to Dillon for a rebuild quite a while ago. Now they charge for that where they didnt use to.

Cleaning up guns and some brass from desert shooting yesterday with two new shooters. I only shot my Pietta, while those two shot a LOT of clay pigeons with my Moss 500 and tossing clays. I brought all the guns: Henry .45 Colt, Pietta .45 Colt/.45 acp, 39A and the 500. One wants to get a lever .22, while the other wants a Moss 500 12ga. These guys goy hooked fast! I had as much fun watching them as they did shooting. Everything was safe right out of the gate. Made my day easy.

Isn’t it great taking new shooters out? A few years ago my wife’s cousin from Southern California and her adult son visited us and the son wanted to go shooting. We went to the public land shooting area and shot rifles and handguns and then my son and I took him to a long distance range and he was able to hit a IHMSA sized chicken steel target at 720 yards. Of course we helped him calling shots and dialing in the scope but he made the shot. Now last I have heard he is the proud owner of a Glock and a Mini-14.

Hatch, you got that right! After a little talking things over, they took to it like a duck to water. They were both hitting tossed clays 50% of the time.
Not bad for first timers. And they can't wait to do this again. I'm in.

I have been delinquent with my reloading for awhile, need to get back to it now that the cold weather is here. I have lots of supplies and still have lots of ready made ammo. Reloading has been a real good thing for me, don't know why all you guys tried to talk me out of it....

[BigAl52]

Finished up 500 40 S&W this afternoon. Not sure whats next getting pretty well stocked up.

[RanchRoper]

It sure is a nice feeling to see a cabinet well stocked.
