NHshtr, I believe you should have a 165 vs 265 gr. bullet per that BL c2 load.

Separated a bunch of 2 1/2" and 3" 410 hulls for loading.

Loaded up what brass I had available for the 41 mag with the 17.7 grains of 2400 that shot so well in my Henry. Decided not to diss-assemble the H110 loads I did earlier as the rifle is sighted in for the H110’s so I’ll just take it shooting! Then I switch everything over to the 2400 load.

Re: What did you do at your reloading bench today?
just starting to get into the reloading.
So, I ordered a bench from global industrial.

That’s a perfect start. All the equipment in the world does you no good without a place to mount it!
I got this Gladiator bench thru Sears. It came unassembled which is what I needed to get it to my basement. I only had to install the legs and the rear power strip once I got it in place.
I would hazard a guess that any bench from global industrial is going to be heavy duty!
Some pics please when you get it up and running.

Finally found some pistol primers, so I got a 100 rds 9mm primed and ready for powder and bullets.

How long is your bench. I have a nice workbench that I commissioned a few years back when I had 0 time to do anything myself. My son saw it and asked for it as his college graduation gift.
The kid never asks for anything so, I had to find a new bench for myself.
I ended up ordering a 72 inch wide, 36 inch deep, 1 and 3/4 inch thick maple top.

Your bench at 72” should do fine for you. I really like that it is 36” deep. Mine is only 25” and it can get a little crowded. I went with the 96” length as I mounted two presses and wanted an open area as I also use it for scope mounting and other non-cleaning maintenance. Here’s a more recent picture of it as it looks today.

Put together some 357 Mag loads for the BBS and Rossi R92, but not without great difficulty. Seems that progressive presses are great when the run correctly, but a dog when you hit a glitch.
A 38 Spl. case got mixed in with my 357 Mag cases. Went through the first 3 stations without a problem. At station 4 (RCBS powder cop) the press stopped. Tried to get the case out and managed to knock the case (fully charge and bullet started) at station 5 out into the collection bin. Started bullet popped out of the case and dumped powder into bin of about 40 completed rounds. Ugh more to clean up. Cleaned up the press and got 38 Spl out and started loading again. Ten rounds later a primer jammed at station 2. Now I had to take apart the primer station to clear that jam.
Finally got press running and completed loading 300 rounds. Then notice one completed round had a spent primer in it. Have no I idea how that happened. Oh well, just pull the bullet, dump powder back into container and toss case into the cleaned brass bin.
Somedays you're the bug and somedays you're the windshield.
