Just finished up some 9mm 147’s, 308’s working on 223’s
I pulled out some commercial 223’s from the pile so I don’t have to play the primer crimp game. I need to get a Dillon primer swager. My RCBS set up is just not user friendly, and I really like RCBS stuff.

Still trimming a can of 223 brass. As mentioned in a different post, I need to suck it up and change this to a better process.
Whoever can patent non growing brass would be rich and famous.

Was getting to where I could not see my benchtop. Cleaned it off.

I had that issue the other day. Like to keep it clean and distraction free when I load, but ended up with too much going on.

One of our members spotted me some 175 grain 308’s. It’s taken me a bit to get them going. Got them done today with various loads of 4064. Range is next.

I used up all my 9mm 124 gr LRFN bullets - just under a 1000. So now I'm on my 327 Fed Magnum catrtidges. Did about 800 98 gr HBWC's of those and now on 85 gr JHP's.
Probably get onto 357's after that.
Plus my lady gave me a Dillon Super Swage 600 for Christmas, so 223/5.56's are coming up after that. I tried it. That gizmo makes removing the primer crimps much easier.

I would love a Dillon Swager. I use the RCBS press mounted and it’s okay but that Dillon is slick!

rcbs is making a copy of the Dillon now.
they must have got tired of replacing bent swage stems.

I have bent a few.

 

[jerry]

Get some!

 

[jerry]

that guy needs the bullet tray, it keeps your left hand right there next to the machine.

Yes I do!
I keep thinking I can make it and it never happens

Jerry, That sure is some pretty .357 ammo...
I guess I better get off my lazy butt and reload a bunch of 45 auto, got all the components, just need to do it.

Thanks! I have found the first step in getting er done is getting started

Therapy

Boring stuff.
Sorting brass from this weekends shooting.
Three days worth.

 

[jerry]

Cleaning 9mm brass to prep for a 1000 round load session.
When the PC9 gets out if gun jail, it will be hungry.

I'm teaching a younger friend to reload for his 40 cal using my Dillon RL 550B. His income is limited, so I am furnishing the components, courtesy of ex-bil.
When I don't need the 550B, it will be his.

I’d like to load .40, but just not that excited about it being as the brass is run through a Glock.

 

[jerry]

Processing about 1000+ 223 brass. Prepping for the Dillon.
Big thanks to RCBS. I bent my small swage ram post. Got on the phone and they sent one no charge.

I like to have everting de primed, cleaned, swaged, sized, cleaned again, before running them through the Dillon.

 

[jerry]

Hope there's a pot of coffee going..

Absolutely! Maybe 2 or 3

Hiya Guys . The first loads to come off my new reloading bench were 150 rounds of 44 Mag shells loaded with CCI magnum primers, 23 grains of H110 & 250 grn hardcast swc bullets .

I just cleaned resized and primed 50 shells for a run of 150 44 specials . For powder I have H110, Bullseye, Unique & Power Pistol powder . I was thinking about loading these specials up with unique but after doing some research and finding a good deal on a couple pounds of it I'll be picking up some Green Dot that I may use for these specials instead with a recipe from my 1987 Speer reloading manual. From what I've read thus far it seems to be quite popular with 9mm, 38/357, 40 s&w & 45/ 45lc loaders as well as for small rifle cartridges like the 30-30 & 7.62x39. What do y'all think ? ...

When I think of green dot I think of shot gun shells

Loading 500 9mm’s & staying out of the heat.

Not using Federal rifle brass any longer. Primer pockets are too loose. Have been having same issue with .308 and .223
