What did you do at your reloading bench today?

[fortyshooter]

Have plenty ammo loaded for now and the Magnums will work with Unique and 2400 if you need to. Just have to conserve a bit on range fun with the centerfires until things catch up...I hope!

Me, I haven't done a thing at mine in a while, but
my three year old grandson, well that's a different story.
He deprimed some 9 mm the other day.

Actually in that particular video that one had already been done, but he did do about 25-30 of them.

Reloading 100 ammo 300 winmag , low charge to pratice at range ...(218 & 328 yards)
Usage of 300win mag is controled in my club, too much power, can destroy target support

it's ok with lowest reload...
So i use Lapua scenar 167grs, with 72.5 grains of Vihtavuori N160 , bottom of scale...

Unfortunately, range is now closed due to covid !!!
GRRRR...

Loaded some 38 special 148 wadcutters for paper punching

with the ongoing component shortages, its encouraging to see so many members still reloading .... we have plenty of ammo already loaded and to stretch it, we've cut back on our shooting .... hate it but paranoia reigns

Agree with everything there Jim. All true.

Didn’t do anything at my bench today but I did something above it.

Went downstairs to process some 7.62 brass and remembered I had bought some overhead lights that needed to be mounted. Plus my room was on the messy/un-organized side so I decided to process my room instead of the brass. I have two pretty bright lights in the room but they are on the ceiling behind me which casts a shadow of me when I’m working at my bench. I have been using two desk lamps with one on the bench and one a floor mount but they are always in the way. So I mounted these two LED lights I picked up at Costco and man do they brighten up my work area. No more shadows or portable lights in the way.....

Now, where’s that brass that needs to have the primer pockets swaged????????

Way to organize for a reloading room Hatch. I reloaded some 338 win mag shells at mine just last night

The problem with organizing is then you use it and the clutter returns.

Yesterday and today I de-capped and swaged the primer pockets, wet tumbled and sized 158 7.62x51 pieces of brass and sized 100 .223 pieces of brass that I had swaged earlier. The 7.62 will be for my M1A and the .223 will be some dedicated ammo for my Mini-14. I’m going to work up loads for both so will start some ladder loading tomorrow. The 30 cal bullets are supposed to arrive sometime tomorrow and for the .223 I have everything on hand.
There’s some gougers on our local gun trader website selling 7.62 x 51 ammo for up to $2.00 per round. Sure glad I reload.
