I finished a group of 300 blackout and had to find primers for it. Found some small rifle a friend gave me that was an antique box of CCI but worked as I have shot these before. While I was looking for more primers I found the other box the friends had given me so I finished the 300 blackout and had a bunch of primers left over so I am doing some HST or v-crown which ever they are. Looking around I can load like 2000 270 or 303 but have no use for them as I have thousands loaded now. Just trying to keep going. Craig
Something of interest. In processing the 9mm brass I forgot to put in the lemishine in the wet tumbler but still the brass came out like new or newer. That process still amazes me. Craig
Finished 50 of the 125g HST and have some primers left over like 30 or so. BTW I am running Universal for the fifty just for laughs. Craig
Finished the 30 HST, small primers are now gone. Got 80 HST to shoot and another 300 in storage. I guess I am done with reloading unless I do some 303 as all the primers are large rifle or maybe some large pistol. Just don't shoot much of those. Craig
BTW the 30 or so 9mm brass came out like new with the Lemishine. It does put a super shine on the brass. Craig
Hey Craig, I need to look into this wet tumbler process, it sounds pretty slick
Hey Kenk, my machine was a Harbor Freight 50.00 rock polisher well worth the money but Lyman I think makes one for like 175 or so that is much larger. I would go with that one if it were me starting again or Harbor has a double model that you could do twice as many or two different calibers at the same time. You can get the stainless steel chips on the net and one bag has lasted me a year or more, I could go on forever but it just works great for the cleanest brass you will ever get. Craig ;D
Thanks man!
BTW Franklin makes one but I don't know the price. Craig
Last evening I was looking for large pistol primer type rounds I could reload and found a bunch of 10mm I guess I overlooked. I also have a large quantity of 180g JHP that are a nice Montana Gold bullet. I have bought these in large quantities over the years and have a nice history with them. I guess I have a carton with 500 or so in it. I will get busy but need to stretch these out over a few days as it's all I have to reload.!!! Craig
Well trying to drag my feet all the 10mm are done and I am almost out of Universal. I could have been done yesterday but left 50 to finish today. I chambered a few to test and all went with no problem. I will shoot a few when I can to test. Craig
Since I had large pistol primers and found 45 long colt brass I loaded some up using universal and now it is almost gone. I found a box of 1000 45 FMJ and 3 45 JHP. Out of large primer brass so I am taking a long break!!! Craig
Did the 11 9mm blue bullets I found primers for and I didn't run out of universal but I am close. Craig
Was looking for any large pistol primer loads I could do and found an unopened bag of 100 45 long colt I do for my friends son shooting a judge, not a real judge but the Ruger judge. I don't need these for a few months but it's something to load and I have everything needed to do them. Oh yeah I do like the joke about the judge. Ha Ha!!! Craig
I just sorted the 45 long colt and like the others I have bought at the gun show there were 27 Starline in the mix. This will give me over 100 Starline reloaded 45 colt for myself. I have stated before with my Comanche one shot you can't loose the brass so the Starline should last forever!!!! Craig
Yep that true with revolvers and lever guns easy to recover the brass...
Absolutely, I struggle with losing so much brass at my outdoor hayfield range. Doesn?t seem to matter how many tarps I put out, I always lose aprx 80% of them. Very frustrating
Still it's nice to shoot 12 or so rounds without reloading the gun after every round!!! I will say a nice break between shots improves my aim. Craig
For sure
Shot this morning mainly blue bullets all went fine. I had one jam in 10mm but it was the blue pealing problem again but the rest of my repaired 10mm blue went fine. To hot to shoot much so I went home. Craig
This is about 5 days later. Shot the 9mm today alot of misc rounds I loaded out of the 500 I got from American reloading. These were junk bullets that I loaded light so finished shooting with 125g JHP and it seemed like I was shooting a cannon compared to the other rounds. Kind of fun. Craig
Shot the Sig Sauer 9mm today and it was very good. I also shot the Indian gun with 45 long colt and it was OK but not the best, kind of weak loading but got all the brass back which is nice for a change. The Universal rounds were not as good as my Power Pistol 9mm rounds and the 45 long colt were weak in general. I will recheck the data but don't think I will buy anymore as the Power Pistol was much better in my opinion!!!! Craig
OK shot the Glock today with the Universal 4.5g 9mm rounds125g and it was OK but nothing super. Shot quite a few rounds and I was OK. Will shoot more as the weekend progresses. Craig
Hey Craig, G19 or 17?
g19 Hey Kenk how are you? It'd been kind of quiet on the forum!! Craig
Afternoon Craig, hope all is well, yep, I like enjoy the G19 a lot. I also like my G44 in .22LR, which is exactly the same size as the 19, other than being much lighter, a great training tool for beginners
Ken
Kenk as you recall I had Glock 19 with a bad grip that I fixed with a slip on grip and the sites which are Tru-glow with dots that are too big. I am getting more used to it but my Sig p320 with the red dot Romeo site is 10 times the gun. Craig
That?s awesome 😊
Well I started to clean up the reloading room as it is raining and will be tomorrow. I came across like 50 small pistol primers with some being for rifle. I am loading 125g v-crown as I have shot these lately and they were very good. I am just so happy to be doing some reloading even if it's just 50!!! I do have enough stuff to do more 45 long colt but don't really need them right now anyway. The 9mm brass is in the tumbler!! I will use Power Pistol at 6.3 with 6.4 being max and I do have a few small rifle primers mixed in. Oh happy day's!!!!Craig
All done!! Did them with 6.2 pp as to ere on the side of caution. 6.4 being max and with the small rifle primers in some of them. Craig
