Got an intro in reloading today

Due to Covid and stuff we did our work in the Garage instead of the basement reloading room. I have a Co-Ax and as you can see an Old C&H Press. Didn't want to drill holes in the garage work bench so I mounted it on a board with C Clamps and then used the vise to hold things together. Was easier to move the C&H Press. A little tall, but workable. He was a great student, and also another combat vet. His brass was in great shape already, so we decapped, cleaned in the ultrasonic cleaner, air dried (fast since it was hot) in the sun. We loaded with Varget (I let him have the rest of the powder). I also gave him a tool to champher (I don't know if that is how you spell that). We used 150 grain SP's for the load that are .311. We made a dummy round to test function in his Nagant. I did like his scope mount. Let him have the remaining bullets and also some primers. We covered the process, how to adjust the dies, safety, primers, charge weights, and equipment needed. I also showed him the Chestnut Trees I planted last spring and let him throw the ball to my lab. Great afternoon.

Was going to be more specific but didn’t know how much info you like on here. It definitely was a good time! Also thanks for showing me that Finn, it’s an awesome piece!
