RanchRoper's Reloading Ruminations

[Mistered]

its just the S&B ones that are a little tight. Just gotta be careful.

Hopefully just a LITTLE tight for your .45 brass.
In .38/.357 & 9mm some are nearly un-primable.
Continued use and reloading should loosen them up a bit.

The press pushes them in most of the way...then I just hit them on the bench a couple of times...

... to quote the old movie line, you've come a long way baby

Just finished 100 rounds of 200 gr LRNFP, 6.6 gn of Universal. Ammo cabinets are both full... ...still have lots of cleaned up brass ready to go. Might do another 100 tomorrow. Like the guy who jumped off a 10 storey building, and every floor he passed they heard him say "so far so good"...

[ESquared]

So, how many rounds loaded up so far, in those two full ammo cabinets?

Sounds like it would be a LOT!

Congrats on a great start!

Gonna need to buy more cabinets...

Steve McQueen in The Magnificent Seven .. .. have you decided to pretty much go with 200 gr'ers ..

[RanchRoper]

The 200's are cheaper and they shoot really nice. I have lots of 250 gr ammo as well, and 2 or 3 hundred lead bullets left too to use up.

looking forward to how each of them will preform in your high wall

[RanchRoper]

Me too. Can't wait!

[RanchRoper]

Anybody else have issue? Scale won't weigh correct. This weight is 50 g.

New batteries. Varies from .020 to .035

Worked fine until today.

[JEBar]

does it have a way to calibrate it ?

[RanchRoper]

Not sure...it has instructions somewhere, just have to read it. Might go back to Lee scale if this is not reliable. Not a fan of electronic stuff anyway.

[RanchRoper]

ok....just have to calibrate it. Bear with me guys, if it doesn't have a mane & tail, it's greek to me.

[JEBar]

hopefully that will take care of it

[Ojaileveraction]

Make sure there's no powder in the works.
Would happened with my Hornady digital scale

[BigAl52]

There has to be a weight to calibrate it. Its not off that much

Dont say that to loud RR the computer you are posting on might be next

With the units in the G setting push and hold the units button until CAL displays. Release the unit button. push the unit button once more. You should then get a blinking 50.000 display. Place the weight on the scale and it will do the rest, giving you a pass indicator and then goes to weight readout.

Sounds more complicated than it is. You should check the accuracy with the check weight every session, and recalibrate as necessary. It takes very little time to recalibrate this unit.
