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

[LV Gun]

Waiting to load 9mm for my S&W 929 PC revolver for that I use a MBC . 357 diameter 135 grain LRN , Blazer brass, W244 powder and Federal SP primers.

 

[foxmeadow]

I have an XD45 1.0 that I haven't fired in years, mostly because I had no ammo. Yesterday I ordered 500 230 gr. round nose projos from RMR and I'll load up as soon as they get here...

 

[johnjohn]

Probably a dehumidifier that needs to be emptied.

 

[Highland Lofts]

Always brass to prep and load.

 

[Toprudder]

I picked up several Lee seater micrometers, using my birthday pricing at Midway, about $14 each with the discount. I installed a couple already, but I have several others left to install.

I found that I need the large rifle seater for the 45/70, which I did not get. But the others will come in very handy, I’m already looking forward to setting them all up and using them.

 

[Pottimus]

A new 6 cavity Lee mold for 7.62x39, hundreds of prepped cases. 2 weeks in a row other crap jumps the line.

 

[PapaG]

More than my antique mind can contemplate.

 

[Riomouse911]

A bit of a start, recapped, sized, flared and sorted LPP/SPP.



Just 2,000 more to go, then it’s time to prime.

Stay safe.

[NJKen]

A gigantic disaster.
Last night I dumped about 4000 115gn 9mm heads absolutely everywhere. I just went to bed. I am getting ready to leave work and go home to deal with it.

I feel your pain, never bullets, but I have spilled a gazillion items before, just want to sit down and cry, but we don't, we just sigh, maybe call ourselves something, then pick them up, sometimes right away, sometimes later.

yeah man! walk away is what I did. im too old to get "cry over spilled bullets"!

 

[Highland Lofts]

Dropping primers is a disaster, you never find them all.

I didn’t know primers have wings. They fly everywhere. I’ve been chasing them a lot lately

 

[Ray P]

I didn’t know primers have wings.

I think those are called "musket caps".

 

[Highland Lofts]

When i was using the Lee hand primers with the old small round primer tray I dropped my fair share of primers.

 

[mavracer]

Just spent 30 minutes straightening up and still have a mess waiting lol.

 

[Ray P]

Got out to the range today for my first solo visit after back surgery in September.

Ran 100 rounds of 9mm for break-in through my home-rolled G17 clone and a PCC built on a Foxtrot Mike lower. Everything worked just fine.

So now I have once fired brass to clean, prep & reload over the next few days

 

[TEXASJD]

Working on my pile of 7.62x39 brass, it’s all been sized got about 2k to trim

 

[Berserker]

What are you using for 9mm loading blocks everything I have and see is to tall for the little buggers. I did find a tiny funnel today

 

[Highland Lofts]

For 9mm and 380 use fifty cent cereal bowls from walmart when resizing and flaring.
I have two single-srage Hornady Lock n Load presses set up side by side.

I grab a case out of one of the bowls,
Resize it,
Takeit out of press one and incert the flared case in to press two.
Then put the case in to the 2nd bowl.
Labeled resized & flared.


I prime with a Lee Bench Prime at the kitchen table.

Then i take the primed brass set it by my Hornady powder drop. Grab a primed case and charge it.

Put it in press one,
Seat the bullet.
Take it out of press one and incert it into press two.
Crimp the cartridge and put it into a old plastic pistol tray that new ammo came in.
They hold the loaded ammo nice and don't take up much room like a traditional loading tray.
Then i will put the loaded ammo in to the plastic ammo boxes and label what is there,
Caliber, powder, bullet.

 

[argonn]

I use Dillon 550 presses, and a Hornady shotgun press. The RCBS RockChucker is for my rifle rounds. I have 11 handgun caliber change tool heads set up for quick change. When I was competing, I was 20 odd thousand rounds a year, now only about 10K, I’ve slowed down a bit, though I still shoot weekly if I can, due to weather.

 

[lightman]

Not exactly in the loading room, but I have several buckets of sorted wheelweights waiting to be melted and turned into ingots. Me and a buddy get together in the Spring before it gets hot and have a "smelting party" where we work together to melt out past years accumulation of scrap and cast it into ingots.

I got a five gallon bucket of those in the barn, wish I could come to that party. Did I mention that I make beer?!

I've dropped a bottle of shot before. Talk about a mess!

Uh, no you didn't mention that but it would sure get you an invite! Too bad we live so far away from each other!
