What do you have waiting for you in the reloading room?

One of my favorite TV quotes is from, “Leverage,”

Rome was not built in a day… but it burned in one.

I don’t know how that applies here, I just like the quote.

Cool idea. Can’t wait to see how it turns out. I’m still using an old plastic fishing tackle box. It’s kinda meh. But I’m too lazy to change.

I hear that, Dude. I told you a few weeks ago that I'm a bit Bipolar on things like this. If I had an old plastic fishing tackle box set up for a range reloading kit, then that would be that. The "Good Enough" side of me would be far too lazy to change it. I need to get this kit settled before that side of me takes control again.

The Lyman Digi-Touch scale arrived. I have to decide on it VS the RCBS sitting next to it for the Range Reloading Kit. Identical size, identical features. The Lyman has a handy powder scoop but I have a whole set of them in my Lee powder kit. And there is no "Storage" for it anywhere in the scale case anyway. They operate almost identically, and they are identical size. The only difference I can see is the RCBS runs on two AAA batteries. The Lyman runs on a Lithium Ion battery and is charged via a USB C or USB Mini port on the side. The RCBS does seem a bit more rugged in manufacture and materials.



The Lyman does have a larger scale weight area. That may be handy at the range. In any event, I can decide later because the foam cut-out area for these is identical. So no excuses now. I have to complete that Range Reloading Kit this holiday weekend.

Clean the revolvers I shot yesterday, then prep the cases that were shot. That'll keep me occupied for a short while after breakfast.
Gad zooks! How did I manage to have so many .45 acp rounds loaded up!? Have an idea what the next range trip will be about.

Should be a very accurate combination.

Here's the finished product (the shelf I made): the dies I use with my Hornady Lock n Load AP. I know that I would have had more die space if I had lined the holes up instead of five holes in a circle. I just like how the dies look together per caliber, like on the tool head of the Hornady. I'll put my other dies on later.

I obviously mounted the shelf underneath some of my wrenches and sockets. I hadn't really planned it this way in terms of aesthetics, but I think everything looks good together!

Built me a box to hold the moon clips for my 610.

Very nice. I like the organization. I spent a bit of time re-organizing my bench today. It can get out of hand on me very quickly.

Yes, the hard part is keeping it clean, but this shelf will help me do just that!

Something to try on the electronic scale.

RCBS Chargemaster/Hornady Auto Charge Antistatic Inserts

RCBS Chargemaster/Hornady Auto Charge Antistatic Inserts are a simple way to improve the accuracy of your Chargemaster. The stock powder dispensing tube on the Chargemaster can be inaccurate which can lead to overcharges which can be easily fixed with our improved straw

Moving has taken its toll on my fun time.

I finally replaced all my old wooden reloading blocks yesterday.

I posted this in the other reloading thread, but I finally completed replacing my old wooden Midway reloading blocks with the new custom reloading blocks from an eBay seller. These are great. He makes pistol and rifle. Pistol was up to 45 ACP, but I asked him to make me custom 45 Colt blocks, and he did. Then he insisted I not pay for them because they were custom prototypes. I paid him anyway. One good deed deserves another. He color codes them for easy ID. 3 sizes for pistol carts, but I have 4 because of the custom blocks. I ordered his 25 count for range reloading and 50 count for bench reloading.

New 25 count blocks in foreground with other blocks for scale;



Old reloading bench with the Midway blocks of various sizes;



New blocks taking up much less space;



The custom 45 Colt blocks he made for me, free of charge although I paid him anyway;



No affiliation, but he sells on eBay if interested.

If nothing else, they’re really cool looking

True. But they are actually functional as well.

I originally only ordered the 25 shell blocks for range reloading but they were so good I ordered the 50 shell for the bench.

 

[Bronco72]

Everything

True. But they are actually functional as well.

Which is why I’ll try a couple and see how I like them.

Well… always these…$$$

The owner/maker/seller is a great guy. Truly. To send me the 45 Colt prototypes and not want payment? That's unheard of. And IMO unfair, so I paid him anyway.

I hope, if you order one or two, that they work out for you as well as they have for me.

Have you considered leaving a detailed review on the reviews forum?

Thanks Dude. I'm still kind of a rookie here. I had not noticed that thread yet. I can do that later today or tomorrow.

Again I have no connection to the seller/manufacturer/owner, but since he's a great guy, I might as well let Reloader's know just in case they are considering modern reloading blocks.

A lot of us check that forum before making a purchase. But I don’t think all that many in the handloader forum use it - or remember it.

I was a lurker here for many years before creating an account. The reviews are usually pretty useful.

Still waiting on me to process and get ready to move to someone that can use them. This week has been FULL TIME dad duty (and I love it) so the reloading is waiting.

I have been waylaid by a few other projects including working on my 22 caliber Remington Rangemaster 511-X and my Enfield 303 British. Both of those are being delivered to my Gunsmith on Saturday. I really tried to fix the action on the Rangemaster. No joy. Hopefully the Gunsmith can. He's only checking Headspace and Bore and a general safety inspection on the 303.

I finally decided to hit the bench and play with the new (TO ME) Hornady Vibratory Trickler. Never wanted one, never had one in my sights. A range buddy had one NIB that he wanted to get rid of. He asked me if I wanted it for a stupid low price, I could not say no, so now I have a new vibratory powder trickler.
