One reloading projuct down, now... - The Firearms Forum

Appliancedude · 10-03-2012, 04:29 PM

I just finished loading the last of my 38sp cases last night. Crap I have a lot of 38s. I tossed over 600 of them loose, in a old metal 50cal ammo case. I was buying the 100rd cases but that got old. I have 7 of those full. Plus a couple boxes of factory I got somewhere. I do not have a single empty 38sp case anywhere.

Now onto the 357mags.....

Need some icy-hot for the shoulder? what are you cranking them out on? hopefully not a single stage with those numbers.

Yup, old single stage RCBS. This has been an ongoing project. Took me about a month to do the last 500 or so. Didn't help when I took a range day and shot through a 100 or so.

Send them on over. But if those are 357mag, you may not get them back!

Just resized about 350 cases last night. Next step tonight, prime the next night, then start loading them up

I've got a 5 gallon bucket over half full of 38 cases to trade up for .357 although I have roughly 1000 .357 empty cases or so? I buy the 1000 bulk pack bullets and load them all up and shoot them over the course of about 4-6 months then start over. keep about 700 more on hand that I loaded years ago.

I hate running out of brass, I hord the stuff like it's gold!
