What did you do at your reloading bench today?

[Vaquero]

Chilly rainy day so finally got around to going thru my cans of spent brass and cleaning a bunch of .44 Mag and .44 Special. These cans were the ones I bring back from the range and I still have my larger containers of stored brass to deprime and clean under the bench that I go thru at times.
Noticed I have a bunch of 38 Special brass to clean and this has lead to another gun project to find a use for 38 Special.

Can't wait to see this, as I have over 600 pcs. and no 38 spl. revolver.
I used the bench to add a saddle ring to the Rossi 45 colt.
Definitely looks better to me now.

Just cleaned up a new RIA 1911 in 40 S&W. Also put away some ammo I ordered while in Texas USA. No such thing as to much ammunition

Dont you have a 357 of some sort? I have a ton of 38sp to just shoot it outa the blackhawk have 2 in 357

[fortyshooter]

Yes I have several .357 shooters but I use the 357 brass for mild loads and standard 357 loadings. Had collected the 38 Special brass from some years back when I wasn't reloading and owned a 38 Special revolver plus brass from a buddy who had a .357 Rossi lever and didn't reload.

Now the project gun will be yet another version of my 1872 Colt OT revolver. I ordered a 38 Special barrel and cylinder for it when I want to change caliber from .44 Special to .38 Special. Parts should be here Monday.

Good looking Rossi Randy!

Yes, I have the King Cobra and another Rossi chambered in 357.
I just don't see any reason to shoot the 38's through 'em.
The only difference in loading them are a few grs. of powder, so I just load the 357 brass.
I did load up and gave a nephew 100 here a couple weeks ago to play with in a 38 he recently got.
