So that's what a neat and tidy reloading bench looks like! I think mine looked like that on the first day (only)!
Seriously, nice set up.

A very nice looking bench you have there. Curious, what is the stainless looking tank on the left side of the bench?Handloader wrote: ↑Mon Jan 01, 2024 2:55 pmLoaded 40 rounds of 45/70 350gr HCFN with 55 gr of H4895

Re: What did you do at your reloading bench today?
Doin well RT, thanks for asking. Not spending any time on the bench, stockpiled too much ammo and have been working through it. I have been shooting more shotgun than rifle or pistol. I have the itch for a day with the 45-70 though. Been reading everyone's post, but not much to say since I have not been that active. (hard to believe I have nothing to say!).
I stand for the flag, and kneel for my fallen brothers.

It is a 22 L heavy duty Ultrasonic cleaner. I can clean several hundred large rifle brass at once. I also use it for cleaning tools.Hatchdog wrote: ↑Tue Jan 02, 2024 10:50 amA very nice looking bench you have there.

Re: What did you do at your reloading bench today?
So yesterday I loaded 450 rounds of 9mm with TMR's 124gr matchwinner bullets and ramshot Silohuette. Then I pulled out the 45acp ingredients to include some 200gr SWC bullets and the titegroup and concocted 300 of those to top off my range supply. Finally I loaded some ladders of 10mm using my new 200gr TC cast bullets. I started with A7 and some CFE Pistol. Never tried cast in my 10 before.
I actually shot the 10mm loads today and was not impressed so in to a few different powders I guess. These are just for range ammo but we still expect some modicum of accuracy. My 180gr jacketed RNFP loads with hs-6 is a 50yd load all day. My try it with the cast bullets next, or trueblue.

Please always remember to never forget, No matter where you go, there you are.
Re: What did you do at your reloading bench today?
What were the 10mm loads that didnt work out. Ive been playing with 10mm the last few months. Mine is a Smith 610 4 inch. 6.2 grains of Unique worked ok. Also 10 gr of AA7 worked pretty good. I have HS-6 and did try some I think I was around 8 grains with it. I want to get some blue dot and AA9.

Pre primed 100 of 45/70 cases, 30/30 cases, .500 s&w cases. 40 S7W cases and 9mm+P. I typically keep at least 100 cases of all my rounds pre primes.
