What have you done in the reloading room today

Just received some LRPs and LRMPs, just call me a hoarder I buy them when I see them.

I recently got this one. I like the fact it had a "T" piece for the ram.

Made up a few more 24 Varmint rounds with 80 grain promos to fire form for the AR.

I didn't know Lee shot loaders were fetching such large sums. But nothing surprises me these days. When I shot Trap, I reloaded single stage with an RCBS 12 ga die set. I still have it. It was not fast, but enjoyable for me, as well as accurate.

After someone on another forum mentioning the crazy prices lee loaders for shotguns are bringing. I dug through my shelves to see what I actually have . Now I am thinking wether to sell them or not

they are selling for $40-$70. I found a 10Gauge with the Lee mini priming tool Delux! Super COOL

I need to swap you something for those if your no longer using them. Junior loves shooting shotgun.

Thanks, but I would like to keep the RCBS 12 ga die kit. I do not use them now, but I can see me using them in the future, and who knows if I would be able to get them again. Probably, but you never know.

Many thanks! I will definitely consider this. Looks like something I would like using. I just got a new Primer Tray for my Rock Chucker about 10 days ago direct from RCBS because I had lost the retainer clip on the original, and RCBS does not sell just the retainer clips, so I bought the whole tray with retainer. But it was very inexpensive, so no big deal if I never use it again.

It's Derby Day, so I have the Derby Coverage on in the background. I used to be quite the Horseplayer in years past. Not so much these days. I did OK, but I used to say, "If My Horses Had Bigger Noses, I'd Be A Millionaire." So true. I lost "By A Nose" more times than I could count.

I paid $30 for my Lee 10 gauge whacker set deluxe with the Lee mini primer

Derby over, so I am heading out to the bench to relaod some 9mm. 115 gr JHP with W231. In prep for a 9mm plinking rifle I plan on getting very soon. I still have a bunch of 9mm ammo components that will give me many hours of plinking fun.

Speaking of that;

Yesterday afternoon I was at a large outdoor store that had a gun department, I decided to see if they had the Hi-Point 9mm rifle that I want for plinking. They did have one. At the normal low-cost price. I decided I might as well get it while I was there and they were not busy. I told the sales guy (young... 21 ish) that I'd like to buy it. He said....

"You are going to have to come back tomorrow. I have to put stock up on the shelves and I am closing down the gun department for the day."

I was shocked. This was around 1:30 PM on a Friday, and he makes the decision to close the gun department for the day with a confirmed buyer standing at the counter? A sign of the times I guess. This place is about 45 minutes away from my home, so 90 minutes round trip. I did not go back today. My local gun shop can order that rifle for me if he does not have one in stock.

I have them in every gauge. Extras in 12 and 20 I don't think I gave over $10 for any of them. Most I paid $5 or less. . People have gone crazy on eBay for 10 gauge and 410 with many going for over $200

Nothing in my reloading room, but was over at my son's house today and helped him dial in a proper crimp on his .357 mag carts.
He has all Lee gear. Frankly, I wasn't overly impressed. Also gave him a flat of magnum primers since he was out.

Today I cast testboolits at 20:1 using indoor pellets, .22lr bullets, and FMJ lead separately. I cast this alloy combination for 38-125 hp, 38-150hp, .357-125hp, 9-125hp, 40-160hp, and 45-200hp. I've already cast 40:1 and 30:1 testboolits.

I do the same thing. This is the reason that we seldom have to pay panic prices on components! Call me a hoarder if ya want..............!

Being retired, its been fairly easy for me to stay caught up in the loading room. So some of what I post is a stretch, but here goes! But I was in the loading room!
I unpackaged, weighed and stamped permanent letters (P) on the Pewter that I recently bought. A whole bunch of ingots weighing about an oz each! And cleaned and stored away the .356 Star Bullet Sizing Die that I also recently bought. Both arrived in the mail on Friday.

Just finished and cleaning up. 165 grain 7.7 bullets. They drop .316 I size to .313

I went to the indoor range to conduct more SyA SPP testing - that’s my story and I’m sticking with it - 100 9mm and 75 .38Spl. 100% bangage. 0% kaboomages.

At checkout I saw a bunch of Alliant powders - Unique, Bullseye, 2400 and Power Pistol. On a whim I asked for prices: $34.95 per pound. I bought one of each.

The I've used 2400 and power pistol. At that rate I'd take every bottle of 2400 on the shelf.... good in 357 and 6.5x55

Dang! I would buy two each[at least!] of 2400 and Unique at that price. And I don't even need 'em!

Purchased a Savior brand soft gun case for my new KSG410. In the gunroom I opened the shipping boxes for disposal and found this printed on the inside. Nice touch, people.
