What did you do at your reloading bench today?

[The Happy Kaboomer]

Nothing...........I farmed(rode the tractor) all day spraying glypsolate.

I morphed some .30/30 brass into .360. It's a labor intensive process on my old Wilson hand crank case trimmer. I did some improvising to find a shellholder to fit. If I had to do a lot of these it would be tempting to invest in a little chop saw. At least there wasn't any need to anneal because this was new Starline brass.

Would one of those mini tube cutters do you any good?

Ordered 100 pieces of 32 H&R brass from Midway. That will give me something to do on the bench!

Haven't tried that but I do have a tube cutter. I'll give it a shot today.

I received a shipment of 99.99 pure wire yesterday. It consisted of four 25-lb spools of various diameters.

I'll be able to cut cores for .22lr, 6.5, 30cal, 38 cal, .44 cal, and 45 caliber rounds.

I hope to get the first of my swaging dies soon. It looks like the order will be 30 cal, 50 cal, and then 22 cal dies.

I also found a bit of sailboat lead that tested out at 5-6 brinnel. So that should do well for making cores. I picked up 270lbs of that

Yes. The tube cutter saved some time. Still a lotta work but it helped. Thanks

Before or after the tree trimming.

Nice.
Fri. I ordered 900 255gr 38-55 bullets.
A week ago a guy on MO a guy wanted to split an order of some long 38-55 brass from Starline.
He PM'd me Sat. afternoon that it had arrived, sending payment tomorrow.
So another 125 pieces added to the stash.

Glad that tree trimming is behind me. I have several large piles to burn this winter but that’s the easy part. Brass arrives tomorrow so the next rainy day I’ll have something to do. I was planning on hitting the “unloading” bench on Wednesday but with 40 mph wind gusts predicted maybe not???
