What did you do in the reloading room recently?

Just got done sizing/priming a batch myself. At this point, I've now loaded more 38spl than 30-06, vaulting it into the cartridge I've loaded the most.
I think I’ve loaded more 38 than anything else too. I’ve done a fair amount of 45 especially when that was the only thing I was loading and shot my 1911 and my 625 every week.
38 lever guns eat up a lot more than that 1911 ever did.
 
30-06 was my second caliber, started for the M1, so it's got a time advantage. I only added 38spl like 18 months ago.

If I win an auction I'm going for, I'll be adding 38 S&W to the mix.
I need to replace my 38/357 platforms
I sold my revolvers except a old 38 snub
I want to pick up a 38/357 lever gun and a 6” revolver.

I'm pretty excited about 70s revolvers starting to become increasingly more C&R eligible.

I'd really like a Colt Trooper in 357/38, but the prices have been high (like a lot of things).

That said, I think I will sell/trade my 357/38 SAA clone to fund something else. I think I've found I shoot revolvers better than semi-autos other than my CZ Shadow 2.

That said, this guy will be en route now. Going to order some dies now...

Was checking through some ammo cans and found three mislabeled ones. One .50 can was labeled 22LR and turned out to be a full can of loose Bosnian 5.56. Another was a 30cal can labled .223 reloads and was actually full of loose Malaysian 7.62 NATO. The third was .50 can labeled .223 reloads and was full of loose Winchester 9mm.

I must have been distracted and didn't finish labeling the cans when consolidating stuff.

I've been changing my labeling from black sharpie to white paint marker and in the process I'm checking contents. So far so good.....all bonuses.

I still need to get about twentyfive 30cal cans though for linked ammo. Now the belts are layered in cardboard boxes and an old South African battlepack can. Need .30 cal cans to hook up to the 1919s.

Have not seen good cans in a while
 
Hey, what is the best die/stem for reloading .223 77gr Sierra BTHP? I've just been using a Lee standard, but it leaves a ring on the bullet and I'd like to get a nicer die.

I didn’t do any actual reloading but I spent the weekend rearranging and organizing the reloading room a/k/a “the basement”. I had to relocate the reloading bench and mounted all the presses to make them more easily accessible.

Very nice! Lots of space.
What’s the plastic sheeting for hanging from the ceiling?

Are the mounted presses on the bottom for the little elves that you have working for you?!

Good luck finding any Elves 🧝 to work with all this stimulus and unemployment benefits…
All kidding aside there are just there for storage… I’ll mount them on top when I need to use them.

That Inline Fabrication stuff is like potato chips, I just bought a bunch of his stuff.
 
Whippin up a small batch of .41 Mags, the winter reloading season is upon us!
Slow down man! lets not rush into it, still plenty of time before the winter reloading season is upon us…. for starters how bout we get to winter first!
hey I love me a good reloading session just like the next guy, but this is the ideal time to shoot, gonna concentrate more on pulling the trigger versus the lever while the weather is still good……
