Just received a box of brass I traded for on ammobrasstrader. I got 134 7.7 Jap and 25 .303 Brit. They have all been decapped and run through a vibratory cleaner but I am going to run them all through my wet rotary tumbler with the stainless steel pin media to scour out the primer pockets. Then I will size them all, trim them all to length, chamfer the cases inside and out, final polish in corncob Flitz media additive and NuFinish Car Wax. Then separate by headstamp and bag them for reloading later.
Some people think I'm paranoid because I have so many guns. With all my guns, what do I have to be paranoid about?

Loaded some 115g 9mm FMJs over 6.1g Power Pistol. Perfect plinking load. I also loaded 25 rounds of 10mm 180g GDHP with Blue Dot and 25 rounds of 10mm 180g Hornady XTPs with Blue Dot.

I am struggling to find a place to shoot with my chronograph. One range lets me use it but it is so busy it kinda sucks dealing with the people. If anyone is near Kansas City and has a place I can shoot I will reciprocate in some way. I hope to buy land this fall to remedy the problem. Have a great Sunday evening gents.

loaded up 100   300 Black Out cases with the Speer 150 gr. Gold Dot bullet over 17.7 gr. go H-110 . this bullet is supposed to preform at lower velocities with a Sptizer profile. all the other .308 Spitzer bullets are designed for .30/06 velocities. .I'm  leaving in the morning to try and find some piggies to try them out on. :P

 Newbie here, but rolled the 650 over to 45acp, then discovered some small primer cases in my bucket, so spent yesterday afternoon sorting  >:(

Friday I received another jug of W231 and a brick of primers, so, Saturday I put together 350 or so 45ACP. Sunday was spent at the range shooting rifles. Good weekend.  ;D

Got a 8 pound jug of Ramshot True Blue. Trying to figure out what to do with it. Swapping out all my old cardboard boxes of reloads and putting them into 100 round plastic boxes. Some of the old boxes I used are 20 years old and torn or bent.

Last night I reloaded 100 rounds of Zero jhp 180 Gr. with 12.2 Gr. Of Acc. No. 9 and Winchester LP primers. I also reloaded about 80 Speer Gold Dot TMJ's 180 Gr. With 10.Gr. Of Bluedot and Winchester LP primers. I've been having a little a difficulty getting a consistent bullet seating on my Dillion and these Speer Gold Dot's were really easy to work with. I'm real excited to try them out on the range.

I also need to shoot up much of my already loaded stuff. I have ones I reloaded in 2006!

Gandog, I got some ammo I loaded 40 years ago and did a test the other day where the old and new compared were within 5 fps of each other.

I think they will be good for another 40 years LOL!  ::)

And my favorite some Ken Waters remakes -- 44special in 44Mag cases. 240gr Remingtons that clock in at 1050fps across my chronograph.

tumbled some 10mm and some .308 Win. loaded up 44 of the .308 cases with 150 gr Hornandy psp bullets over 42 gr of WC-846. they chrono 2740 fps out of my M1-A but these are going hog hunting in a friend's bolt gun.

I worked on the reloading bench to the point I broke the bottom shelf and may leave it off at this point.  Craig
Velocity if fine...Accuracy is final
