What did you reload today?

[misterarman]

Wow. How do you go without water?

Absorb humidity.

 

[misterarman]

Congratulations!!! That's awesome, it becomes a new behavior. Long term your body and overall health will thank you. Don't stop now…

Thank you! Did it for almost 10 years prior to 7 years of.
Just makes more time for reloading.

I'm making 38 Special. First is the 100 gr Lehigh extreme defense then 158gr RNFP's.

Loaded up 100 rounds of .357 Magnums yesterday. T&B polymer coated 158 gr SWC, 6.0 gr Unique, Servicio & Aventuras primers. Decided to go ahead and use up my last pound of Unique since it has been on the shelf a while. Also ordered some more of those bullets.

Did a trigger job on Savage Axis instead of reloading. I did spend a few minutes inspecting the latest batch of 224 bullets I got from American Reloading. They are 75gr HPBT bullets with cannelure. I have to say I am disappointed in this batch of bullets. The description said minimal pull marks but these bullets look deformed from the position they were latched onto. These will likely end up as heavy plinking bullets. In the past I ordered a bunch of 77gr SMKs from them and they were beautiful. I am happy with most everything I get from them but you can't win them all.


Same bullets from different angles.

I just order some of these unusual boat tail 9mm projectiles from AR. These will make loading much easier in the field when using the Lee Loader kits. The boat tail is angled enough that I won't have to worry about how to flare the cases, which is a royal pain in the arse with Lee Loader 9mm kits.

Tumbled a good sized batch of .223/5.56 brass for an hour in the FART with Dawn and Lemishine without stainless steel pins for an hour. During tumbling time I loaded up 100 rounds of .223 with 62 gr FMJBT Hornady bullets, 24.5 gr TAC, RP 7 1/2 primers in Perfecta brass (the cases were already prepped and primed). Multi tasking at its' best since I also had to clear out the kitchen sink to rinse the brass, which scored bonus points with my wife. Might come in handy since I haven't yet mentioned the thousand .357 bullets I ordered from Travis earlier this morning.

I love wet cleaning but always rinse outside because I don't want to contaminate the kitchen sink…

 

[ageingstudent]

Oh nice! I never thought of using a lighter bullet, for some reason? I do in the Swede's, 129gr. The 150's shoot good. Not to 100 because of eye sight though. Recoil does keep me to no more that 40 rounds at a sitting. And generally less.

Aim for center of blur.

Actually Jim, if it's not tooo scummy the citric acid keeps the drain from getting stinky. Lemi-shine cleans the build-up out of the drain. A little soak in lemi-shine and dawn keeps the waste tanks in your RV from getting stinky as well.

Doesn't work very well. Tried that yesterday at 75 yards. Came in to 50 and it was I little better.

This is what I've been doing and then I recently got a pair of prescription glasses and have been amazed at how a clear sight picture improved my shooting.

I'm more concerned about not getting the sink cleaned up well enough and someone getting sick. Not worth a risk. I'm OK with doing it outside.

If the outside weather is not compatible for rinsing outside I dump it down the toilet.
Those pipes must be really clean.

I'd hate to loose any SS pins…

 

[misterarman]

Yeah. I lose a few. The brass is still coming super shiny clean so I must still have enough.

You missed my OCD. I really HATE loosing SS pins…

Have you ever tried it without the pins? A lot less stressful and easier on the garbage disposal.
