The .30-06 came out very easily, and had...a knife in it!?!?
That's pretty kool.................!!Someone attached a small blade to the bullet. Not very sharp, and you can't really hold it with much more than your thumb and forefinger. Maybe useful for opening packages and envelopes.
38spl, 158 grain bullet with 3.5 grains of Bullseye.What's the load? Thanks.
I found if I put water in the bottom tub the pins just fall away. They don’t stick to the cases. I have the Dillon with the handle that turns and I do the same thing with it. Fill the bottom with water and the pins come out of the inside of the cases and fall to the bottom. Then I just slowly pour off the water and grab the pins with my magnet.Among other things, I ordered a "media sifter" today to help separate brass from pins without the pins going down the laundry sink drain. I already have a home brewed thing I made, but watched a video on YT with Gavin from Ultimate Reloader using one with great results. Anything to make the job easier and faster! Also ordered a couple hundo of Starline .44-40 brass and some other gee-gaws as well.

Fill that unit up with enough water to cover the brass and pins. If you don't you'll have pins flying everywhere.

Anneal the necks and the splits will stop. I anneal every cycle, part of my prep cycle.Depriming and cleaning yesterday's range trip and range pickups. The boy shot the AR for practice and I kinda would like to find a service rifle match here locally if possible. I'm now into processing more 223 than ever through a gas gun and took note of the usually high number of split necks of LC 11 brass. He shot 100 mixed lc brass 7 lc11 split the necks and one lc09. One or two I take as normal but I kinda think that the 11 year is above average so far...View attachment 1199759
You were supposed to run out and go buy a 408 Cheytac.I was watching Shooter last night and the talk of ballistics and reloading come on the screen, so I hit pause and loaded some Sierra 180gr BTSP over 40gr H4895 on primed IMI brass for the .308 PSS. (10 rounds)
45 Colt.....?noe-454-280 mould I got a few months ago
Stupid question but doesn't 45-70 take a .458" bullet diameter?Put together 20 test rounds with the new
noe-454-280 mould I got a few months ago. Looking for predictability I ran 20.8 to 22.0 of imr4227, I've never had any excitement from this powder and even while stiff the 37 grain starting load in 45-70 was stiff but not unexpected. Running these a little long at 1.650 but it will run smoothly upt to 1.678ish. These should be up to 20kpsi so not for antiques or weak pistols.View attachment 1199809
