Happy New Year All!
What did you do at your reloading bench today?
Re: What did you do at your reloading bench today?
Nothing yesterday. I was on the road. The night before, I sighted in my 6mm ARC, 6.5 Grendel, and the 308 M24 clone. All shot well. It's been a long while since I've shot anying with out a muzzle break or with a can. My shoulder was certainly letting me know my age yesterday.

Yeah, couldn’t sell it at a buck so had to give a 12% discount, I picked it up at a gunshow many years ago but I’m sure I paid several dollars for it.Re: What did you do at your reloading bench today?
I fiddled with the m expander and flare attachment for my RCBS Pro 2000. I don't like the attachment for the 9mm. It's essentially a 38 cal m expander. You have to run it all the way down to the bottom of a 9mm case to reach the flare portion of the m- expander.
That makes some funky looking cartriges. I honestly think it would be best to buy a second 38 cal expander and trim off half the m-expander, shortening the whole thing.
Anywho, I went back to my Harrells schutzen powder dropper and whipped out another 200. 125grn 9mm.

I broke down on 308 day and ordered a bunch of bullets from Raven Rock. Ostensibly, they are for the 700 PSS shooting 165-168grain 308 loads. I also snagged a burst fire brass annealer. I've now loaded much of my 6mm ARC, 300 Blackout, 6.5x55 enough that an anneal makes a good deal of sense.
I'm still fussing with the RCBS case-activated powder dropper and flaring 9mm cases. Honestly, as much as I've dicked with this silly thing, I think I am simply going to size, decap, and prime off press. It's faster, cleaner, and much simpler than trying to run a 5-station progressive doing those steps.

Helped work on a family members m1a. We got an adjustable gas block on. Mounted the muzzle device and can.
It shoots pretty good.
My 34mm rings came for my remington 700, i got the scope mounted and dialed in at 70yds
I'm waing on new pick rail metal for the stock. It should be here this week. With that i can mount the atlas bipod.
No reloading persay, i did wrap up my 9mm 125 grain loads for now. I have another 500 bullets i could load, but that will have to wait.
I primed 250 cases of nosler 6mm arc. That puts me around 325 to 350 empties for 6mm arc and about the same for 6.5 grendel. Those will be the next two i load. I've got some great loads for both.
That being said the next few weeks will be prepping the new 200 yd range and the new 300 yds range. I will need to hang targets, and work out firing positions.
