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

[catnthehat]

I have several hundred. 223 brass waiting to be reloaded for my match rifle
I haven't shot it for a while, being too involved with my 8.15x46R Schuetzen and my 45/70 Sharps, but need to get at it for the next match which is in a month
If I don't watch out I will get caught behind the 8 ball!

Thank you for the reply. That box just may work for my 10-10. Believe I'll be getting a couple. Thanks again.

FYI, my Lyman M5 is bit too tall (4”) to fit.

Shot up most of the mixed .44-40 I was gifted but got soaked in the process. The afternoon sun shower turned into a sideways raining thunderstorm. Still had fun. The bullets didn’t seem to care

50 more for the tumbler.

Dang, as is my 10-10. Well, you gave me an idea, so, I'll snoop around a bit.

Ohhh I’m running with the hobby lobby box idea. I’ve got two measures and a scale all need boxes!! What i have waiting on my is 500 Matt’s bullets 200g 44 wadcutters that need power coating and sizing. My fire oven up tomorrow.

 

[JmacD]

Well, I STILL have 100 eggleston 9mm bullets waiting… I wanna run em next weekend, so I better get busy this week.

The powder measure now stacks nicely. Of course I don’t want to stack too deep because inevitably I always need the item on the bottom. Move the item I always use to the top, yep - still need the one on the bottom.

Looking for a 5x4x2 box for the hand primer.

I read that someone used a 1:18 scale car acrylic display case. I looked at one, but wasn’t sure how easy it would be to move and take the cover off (it was in packaging and I couldn’t test it out).

Loaded up 50 rounds for my new Mossberg 4X4 chambered in 270, CCI LR primers, H4895 under a 130 GN. Winchester Power Point.

Its my first experience with the 270, Cant wait to dial her in!!! The rifle without a scope is the 270, the other is a Howa 1500 Varmint Supreme in 308. I picked both up for less than $500 combined.

waiting on some 277fury (500) brass and 135gr (1,500) fmj's. might try some of those 135's in the 270win. btw, i received the dies for the 277 already. now for the barrel to come in (late summer) for an AR build.

My Howa 308 is a shooter! It likes 110gr vmax and benchmark, 178 ELDX and N150, 168eldm, and N140. I still have some other stuff to try…

Not “in” the reloading room - yet. FB Marketplace scrounging. Picking up a used Nesco dehydrator, to dry brass. I want that because I’m getting a barely used F.A.R.T. with media transfer magnet, also from patient FB scrounging. If my wife plays it smart (heck, even if she doesn’t) she should be able to make a pretty profit selling all my stuff when I’m gone.

 

[d31tc]

Tangentially, a Stanley No. 7 plane to level the work bench top I’m making, not coincidentally, also used off of FB Marketplace.

bummed out as the bullets showed up today, but no brass as of yet? with only 1 tracking number i thought both would be in the same box? guess not! emailed american reloading about this, but will have to wait until monday for a reply. the hybrid cases were a heck-of-a-deal @ $0.45 instead of $0.90. same for bullets as both were half off on the 277fury.

btw, does anyone reload for this cartridge?

I’m still unpacking some estate purchases and have found yet more 158gr LSWC-BB .38’s. That’s around 5K now. All plain lubed lead hard cast. I’m not a fan of hard lead (10-12 Brinell if my pencil test is close enough) and bevel bases. It’s a formula for smokey loads and leaded bores. I’m thinking these are going to be nice paper punchers for the .38Spl revolvers.

 

[small town life]

received my pre-order from cameraland rangecraft purchase. checked it our before sending it to another member. i did order another
@ $349 before the cutoff date that should be here around the 4th of july (depends on how many athlon delivers).

I really like the, "What have you done in the reloading room today" thread but it seems like a lot of it is us all catching up on the stuff we should never have got behind on. I've got brass stowed and tucked away in places I can't even reach, don't remember until something goes wrong, and that's just what in the house. I don't even know what's squirreled away in the shed and pole barns anymore.

So here's the question: What have y'all got waiting for your attention in the reloading room - or where you keep your reloading stuff, maybe - that you've been putting off, forgot about, never got that round tuit for, and just plain slipped through the cracks?

For me, it's processing and sorting brass. Gotta get a round tuit but they're just real elusive pieces of equipment.

3 pounds of sr4759 waiting to feed my cast bullet Whelen load. My wife is thinnkng about using it this fall. So I need to get a bunch loaded.
also need to cast a bunch of 125 gr bullets for the 38s.

 

[Wildfan99]

I only have 2 boxes of trap loads left.
Tomorrow it's time to restock the cabinet.

 

[Dogleg7]

if anybody remembers ( or cares) about my 6ppc brass test that I had planned, here is the reason that I have not posted any results.

 

[GeoDudeFlorida]

I have 300 .38Spl mixed brass primed and ready for loading with Speer 158gr LRN and 4.2gr W231. These are also mixed primer cases. I used up some odds and ends of gifted, leftover and other partial sleeves of SPP.

That pic brings back memories of Eureka, KS. Do what needs to be done by 10am because it’s going to be 100 by then.

 

[IWAC]

Don't ask!

 

[R Reed]

Whole bunch of 223 brass that needs trimmed. Need to stop procrastinating and just do it.

I lost my “roundtoit”; when I get one…

4th of July celebration was a lot of fun. Now I have a couple dozen .38Spl and 3/4 box (50) of .40S&W to process. I’m thinking W231 for both. The Silver Bullet .40’s were really popular. A thunderstorm cut the festivities short. I still need to clean guns too. That might have to wait until tomorrow.
