What have you done in the reloading room today

[3sport]

Love the color coding!!!!!

Me too, but I totally missed it until I saw your post Capatin. I've been busy with other things and just glanced at the OP of that. That color coding is brilliant as @shoebox1.1 posted. I am surprised I never thought of it. I have the markers, but never thought of coloring the primers.

Thanks @toxophilus ! A simple yet elusive Idea. I will implement color coding for sure now.

It's especially handy when/if I'm developing loads for a semi-automatic; I can check the brass afterwards when I pick them off the ground for closer inspection.

If I have more than x amount of rounds to test then I'll resort to drawing Lines (-) across the base or maybe an + sign in colors in addition to the colored primers.

Pulled* 160+ lbs of brass from under the reloading bench, and took* it to recycling. Cleared out pretty much everything commercial that wasn't once-fired by me. Also kept most of the LC-xx brass in 5.56.

*With my lifting restrictions, this required a local young man with a strong back for labor assist.

Great point. And good tips. I am going to start doing this next weekend. I plan on being at my gun club to work up some loads then, and the colored markers will really make the other members wonder "What the heck is he doing NOW?"

What exactly is the primer catcher on the LCT? It comes with a tube, wondering what part you are talking about.

This one.

I guess I've been Miss Tooken about this press. I always thought the three-hole was the "Classic" because it came before the four-hole. Maybe it's the "Custom?"

Loaded up 30 rounds of 6.5 CRED for tomorrow. Me and a few guys at work are doing an all day shooting team outing tomorrow. Should be fun.

Ahhhh. I thought you were talking about the four hole turret press. What is the default / factory spent primer catch on the three hole?

I can't say 30 rounds is day worthy, but I take junior and warm up is 100 22lr. A sufficient amount isneeded for me to get in the grove.. 10 in kind is gooder. Take more??????

The floor.

I got mine used and didn't bother to look for a manual online. Maybe Lee actually has has something for it, but mine had nothing so the spent primers just fell out the hole in the ram and scattered where they may. I made a little box to set next to the ram for them to fall into, and that worked OK.

Wow! I’ll go down the road to my neighbors for an all day shoot with a loaded revolver and two reloads and come home sometimes with the two reloads. I guess I’m just not a big trigger puller.

I still haven’t put away the primed brass I got out last weekend and we’re traveling to see family today so I covered it all up and will mess with it tomorrow. I reload way, way more than I need to.

That's how many rounds for how long shooting?

Unless I'm doing something special, I'll shoot about 100 each of 9mm & 45acp in an hour.

"Special" would include testing and comparing a new load, bullet, gun, magazine, or other stuff like that which would slow me down greatly.

But, I'm a draw & shooter mostly with one or two guns per caliber.

Put a Magpul stock on my Savage 204 Ruger. The MDT AICS 223 mag should be here Monday.
