What did you do in the reloading room recently?

Loaded up 100+ 102 grain 380's using the last of my 231 (there's a few more charges left but ran out of primers and didn't feel like loading another tray)
Should have my copy of Lyman 4th edition tomorrow so I'll see if it has anything for CFE pistol or Silhouette.
Once I have 500-600 380's on the shelf, I'll switch over and fill a 5lb coffee can with 230g 45's. People here make fun of Kimbers but mine just loves the Lee 230 RN and it's a blast to shoot.

Started casting/sizing fit the 30cal rifles.
I need a .310 lyman H&I die for the 450
From left to right
Lyman 30 carbine mold 130 gn plain base, Lee 309-130 , Ranch Dog .311” 170 gn FN , Lee 309-200
I ron them through a .310 Lee push through sizer for now until I get the sizer for 450.
The lyman and ranch dog drop at .311 the lees are not as round and drop .309-310”
 
I have a .311 that you can borrow if that helps - probably not if the mold is dropping .309

Also have a Lyman 311467 single cavity I could loan you if you are looking for a ~180g gas checked
Nice offer but Im good. I have plenty of molds and other tools to use for now.

Now does anyone have a 75-90 grain 32 cal mold good for the 32 S&W ?
 
Picked up a HF dual drum tumbler and 2lbs of 0.047" pins - total of $70.

Does a great job in just an hour but separating the pins is a pain - will reserve for the really dingy brass.

Printed a separator from thingiverse - doesn't fit well and just ended up dumping the whole drum in the bucket twice.

Did my own sieve with window screen to rinse and drain - works great

I'll probably make my own separator that fits better or just not be cheap and buy a media separator.
 
what kind of pins are you using.. it is real easy to separate the pins from the rifle cases. each 8mm case i just upside down back into the tumbler. all the pins come out without issue. then you place the magnet at the opening and none come out of my tumbler. you then just pluck it off the magnet. but then again i do not do tons of pistol cases.
