What did you reload today?

[Caveman Jim]

I only size it once.

When I'm resizing I pull the sized case off the press, it immediately goes into a cage cage, if it fails I will size it again. If it doesn't pass it goes in this crap bucket.
I've had more than a few cases that have sized correctly but they have a ding on the rim and will not go into the case gauge. Those I set aside and touch them up with a fine file. Caveman thrifty.

I swaged 500+ LC cases in less than 40 minutes.

I understand the rim is why many fail the test. I just have soo much brass I don't need to deal with it. It's getting [gotten] to the point [sounds like a song] where I will never use all .45acp brass I have. So some has to go.

Will if you don't want it I'd be more than willing to take it off your hands.

It's already spoken for. Others know of the quality of my "scrap".

 

[Caveman Jim]

I've got a 50+# bucket of scrap that I've filled up in 3 years but it is indeed scrap.
When I go through the range pickups I sort calibers and discard all dented or crushed cases. I keep certain head stamps and sell the rest.

I'm happy with my single stage press, so batches of 100 are enough for me.

Yup......I finished reloading about 200 - .223 Rem last night (on my RockChucker).

Aloha, Mark

There's some FINE brass in there Jim! A little extra time in the polisher, go stainless pin and you'll get them shining like new! And those dents that don't come out in sizing, surely will if you load them a little higher pressure and choot 'em? Yup, they'll look like brand new!

Just bought a pound of HP-38 and some Badman 200gr SWC, so cranking out some 45acp during MNF.

 

[LSWC]

Got a new bulk ammo bag... Looks like I need to load about 1000 9mm rounds...

If they don't fit in the chamber when the bolt falls I just beat them in there with a mallet

I use ammo cans, thanks for reminding me. I need to get some more, they are getting full.

 

[oremike]

My personal ammo is kept in ammo cans. One 50 cal can per caliber. 31 pistol calibers, 3 rifle and we can't forget the .22 and 12 ga.

I was going to say look in a reloading manuel and there is a lot of pistol calibers.

Small batches for small minds. Some anti-moto robber* .380s with 90 gr. Sierra Sports Master HPs in Brazilian CBC cases. 4.5 Power Pistol for about as much steam as .380 can make.


*Moto robbers are a plague in Brazil and much of Latin America. If you see two dudes on a scooter or small cc motorcycle, they are up to no good.
