What did you do in the reloading room recently?

[gerrycaruso]

Yes, reloading is enjoyable and relaxing. Just don't spend more time at the reloading bench than you do at the shooting bench.

After the paper patch dried, I applied imperial sizing wax. It didn't help so I just gave up on the 45/70. Do you use computer paper or something specifically for paper patching? Computer paper is almost twice as thick as 9 pound onion skin paper but it's what I need for the 43 Spanish.

I use 9# onion skin.
Can you try to use a different lube? I like bore butter.

What are you sizing the bullets to? I size down to .453” and patch up to .459” with onion skin.

I'll try some 9 pound onion skin paper. Where do you get it?

I'll say it.. I almost enjoy reloading more than shooting.. I can reload in my basement in peace, don't need to lug gear b&f to the range.. no dealing with other people..

My favorite part of reloading in my fortress of solitude is when something I've done 100 times suddenly doesn't work the same and I'm left perplexed and frustrated ;-)

Seriously....agree 100% with you.

I spent an hour trying to get the primer tube autofeed set up on my LnL single stage..

Well my winter brass prep is drawing to an end. Did the last of 6.5 CM and the .308 yesterday. 400 pcs of .223 left to trim and that’s it.

But I needed a change, so today I loaded 200 rounds of my standard 6.5 load on Dillon 550 (it mimics Hornady 147 eld Match). Then shifted over and loaded 50 rounds 308 168 Eld match, and the other 50 rounds in box was varying 4064 powder charges of 308 168 A max I use hunting looking for a little better accuracy

Then I took the Dillon 550 that is set up for .308 base cartridges off the bench, and swapped in the 550 that is set up for .223 onto the bench. I need to get a couple hundred .223 made for the bolt gun . Hopefully this weekend

Then I just need a warmer day with less wind so I can go play at the 1000 yard range next week

Buffalo Arms has it. Are you ever down on the south coast? I just ordered 200 more pieces of it.
Shipping cost as much as the paper.

You too? Sometimes my shooting is only to support my reloading and gun cleaning addiction.

I'm way up by New Hampshire. (I wish I was there) I never get down south. I'll look around and find it. If it works, I'll try sizing the 43 Spanish bullets a little larger and using it for that as well.
