Nothing in a while. It’s too hot in my garage room….especially with the dehumidifier going non stop. I do mine in the fall and winter. I’m thinking about getting a mini split AC system for just that.
What did you reload today?
I know that Match 10 and I aren’t the only reloaders here. We reload on most Saturdays.
Today was a low volume day for us. We loaded 40 rounds of 30-40 Krag for him to try in a recently acquired rifle. They are Hornady 150gr soft points. 20 at over 35gr of H335 and 20 are over 36 of H335.
We also loaded 100 .357 Magnum defensive rounds that are 125gr Hornady XTP over 9.5gr of Power Pistol, and 150 .357 soft target rounds that are 158gr Berry’s flat point over 5.9gr of W244.

Getting ready to load some .44 once my mold gets here. My ruger has large throats and will lead badly if the bullets are undersized. A few bullet manufacturers will let you order any size from .430 to .433. I ordered a 250 grain Kieth gas check mold from accurate molds with a .433 (+.002/-0.00) dimension. I opened up a .430 Lee sizer to about 4323 or thereabouts as best I could measure. I used 320 grit lapping compound on some .452 bullets I had and pushed them through the sizer but gave up on that then went to a bore mop and a drill letting the die rotate every little bit too keep it uniform. I them polished it with a new bore mop and some polishing compound. I think this will work. I rotated the bullets in the mic and they measure the same all the way around.

These came yesterday. I probably have enough lube to last years. I got the bricks for pan lubing. This guy is on the castboolits forum and he makes several lubes. The gas checks fit too so I should be good to go. Lots of h110 and a brick of LPM primers I traded for. I’ll probably get another 100 starline cases.
I treat my revolver brass a lot better that my 9mm blasting away brass.
The gas checks are a bit pricey I think..4.5 cents each. They make check making dies that you can make them from flashing. I may get one later on.

Mine is cluttered up bad too. It doesn’t take long.
I casted about 50 of the 44 bullets and tried pan lubing them. Didn’t turn out so good. I don’t know if it’s the nature of the lube groove or the lube, but some missing lube on about 25% of the bullets. The lube is tacky enough that you can apply it to the bare areas and run it through the sizer again which fixes it. It’s a messier job than I had planned on. I hope to get this figured out. Good news is that the gas checks fit like a glove.
