What did you do at your reloading bench today?

45 colt in the dunk



45 acp all spiffy clean


I have a new dehydrator on the way from 'the sausage maker' to aid in drying. Wife says no brass in the oven.

You ain't kidding! Nice.

This is the media I use. Each piece weighs a bit more, and thus doesn't tend to stick to the brass like the tiny straight pins have a tendency to do.

Nice! But lots of fun getting them dirty again!

The 45 acp is still drying, but doesn't seem to be discoloring. So. that's an improvement.

here are my two loads of 45 colt from yesterday.


I've got 3 loads of 38 spl today. Two of my Starline brass, and one of some older brass given to me. I'll keep the older brass separate for my lighter revolver loads.

I finally set up my new RCBS Chargemaster today. Usually, I use a beam scale and tap the powder cup as a trickler. My method was almost as fast as the Chargemaster but definitely more tedious. I should have bought one of these a long time ago but I am old and stubborn. I threw fifty charges of 8grns of CFE pistol and checked the first five and the last one, they were right on. I see why in the reviews a lot of people bought 2 of them but I am not $300 in a hurry YET.

I too recently started using the RCBS Chargemaster and wonder why I didn’t many years ago. I’ve had excellent success with mine.

Yesterday I picked up a pound of 2400 from a guy I know who grabbed it from an out of town shop while traveling. Hit a store in Coeur d’alene Idaho and found the Hornady 308 155 bullet I’ve been looking for. Bullets were $42 with tax and Grafs sells this bullet in a 200 re-pack they do for $66 plus $13 shipping. Even with shipping it’s still cheaper than the Cda shop. For now just happy to have bullets and powder. Saturday is supposed to be a very ugly weather day so I may turn the components into assembled cartridges. Yippee.

Hatch, what's the fly reel make?

I think that reel is for salmon slugs! Salmon season is only a few days away here. So. we have to load up!
