I finished sorting the 4 buckets of rifle brass I got while in Missippi last month.Threw some 45colt in the tumbler this evening.
Haven't loaded in over a year
Was that sig brass from belted ammo??Messing around with crimped primer 6.5 creedmoor brass, ordering a primer pocket reamer.
It's black hills brass.Was that sig brass from belted ammo??
While I was following the returns last night I occupied my time fruitfully by prepping some 308 brass for my cousin who is working on a few loads for his Model 70.
And I prepped the brass from my last shoot with the Henry 44mag. After 7 loads with 4 different powders I think I have a good enough load using 19.3 grains of Lil'Gun with a 225 FTX Hornady bullet. I am kind of hoping to do my first deer hunt using it.
The last few months have really gotten me in to reloading. I have reloaded more ammo in the last few months then I have for the last 6 years! I am really enjoying doing it more for some reason.
So what are you reloading at the moment? Man, that 44mag load sounds solid! Lil'Gun and the 225 FTX should do the trick for deer. Right now, I’m loading some 6.5 Creedmoor for a buddy's Ruger Precision and some .223 for the AR. Love fine-tuning those rounds!

Would like an update when it is all setup. Regret the Hornady progressive press. At some point, I will move into the Dillon platform.My new Dillon RL1100 and a few other Dillon things showed up yesterday.
Dillon is running a free range brass perk with the purchase of some machines right now.
I took the 4000 9mm cases.

I called Vortex customer service last week and told them with opening one of the new scopes I bought had a sunscreen that was oval.
They shipped me a new one N/C along with a free hat.

Where is everyone getting their reloading supplies? Primer? Powder?Got 300 cases prepped and still waiting on powder and bullets. 10mm
I may have to pour more bullets after this batch start carrying/shooting the 45.

Next time I head down to Indy, I may make a detour. Any places around it for hunting some bourbon?Occasionally online, but mostly from Brian at Brian's Surplus in Greentown, IN
Good folks right there.
I don't know in Greentown. I have a girl at a Noble that has gotten me about anything I ask her for.Next time I head down to Indy, I may make a detour. Any places around it for hunting some bourbon?

Sounds like you have a pretty sweet setup. I'll need to calculate the ROI on having dedicated presses (mainly, 9mm and 223/556).The first update is,
Setup was pretty strait forward for setting up a big progressive machine.
This is the 5th Dillon case feeder that I own. Its the first variable speed one, I like it.
Its a smooth press that doesn't take a bunch of leverage to run with punching a primer, swegeing and sizing/trimming at the same time. I use F.W. Arms depriming and case hold down swegeing dies. Money well spent.
I fear down the road I will be selling a few 550 and 650 presses and get down to two 650's and this 1100 machine and do larger runs when I set up a caliber.
Or even keep one 550 and sell the other 550 and 650's and buy another RL1100 and keep one in each primer size. We will see,
I have two 550's. One small and one large primer setups. Had three but that was overkill that I'm doing now. I do like having more than one.Sounds like you have a pretty sweet setup. I'll need to calculate the ROI on having dedicated presses (mainly, 9mm and 223/556).
