Was low on .45 cases - spent 5 hours shooting down the range with my buddies last Saturday. I shot through 100 of my reloads but came home with about 400 cases of .45 Yeah Baby!! Not to mention the mountain of 9mm, .223 and others.

Already cleaned them up nicely and ready for the next .45 session at the bench. Going to push another 3-400 9mm before I do the conversion over.

I have a 1000 .38spl to load up for the wife. Getting ready to start on them within the hour! Soul food!

gdmoody · 05-02-2012, 03:03 PM

I'm getting ready to go out and load up some .223. I unloaded (love that, Josh) a bunch of it this morning.

JLA · 05-02-2012, 08:05 PM

speaking of .45ACP... I had a customer bring me a AR45 carbine. I fixed it and shot the hell out of it. so now I gotta reload some .45s and build me a AR45.

joncutt87 · 05-02-2012, 09:10 PM

I'm doing some case prepping tonight, after I get home at 12:30

gun-nut · 05-03-2012, 05:20 PM

Did these 9mm up to test out this weekend. 5.0gr. of unique with the 125 gr. Lee TC cast bullet that I cast and sized to .355. OAL 1.055 The Gun will be my T-54.

joncutt87 · 05-03-2012, 11:48 PM

I'm reaming flash holes tonight

Appliancedude · 05-04-2012, 12:24 AM

over the last 2 nights I've prepped and primed 400 38sp shells. Now if only I had some bullets to put in them

Thats why i cast bullets. Dont get me wrong i have my JHP's that i keep around. But for just messing around at the range i just shoot cast its cheeper.

Appliancedude · 05-04-2012, 08:18 AM

If I could find a decent source of lead, thats something I'd like to get into

Nice job Gun nut- the rounds look great and I can only imagine the pride in making your own bullets from top to bottom.

Thanks for sharing pics and recipe too!

I got real lucky last spring!! When i took some scrap in to the scrap yard they had a 440 pound weight off a forklift. I looked at it and i thought that it would be soft but i scraped my knife across it and i was about as hard as WW. I had to pay .50 a pound to buy it but its been well worth it.

I have a few friends that buy cast bullets from me so i have made my money back and still have plenty to shoot myself.

gun-nut · 05-04-2012, 12:55 PM

Thanks Garydude! I have been casting for about 10 years now and reloading for 12. So its great to do all if it.

That's not what your wife said. (Insert Rim Shot here)

How much do you charge for a flash Hole reaming?

I guess the proper terminology is flash hole uniforming

BobMcG · 05-05-2012, 11:56 PM

OK, haven't touched base here in quite a while. Today was a .45-70 shooting day but tonight was a .405 Win loading night (shooting day last weekend), that in turn became a .45-70 reload night too. Just couldn't stop.

JLA · 05-06-2012, 07:13 PM

Im the same way Bob. I unloaded a bunch of .308s today. shot a 7 shot 1 holer at 100 yds too. Now I gotta reload em all.

gdmoody · 05-08-2012, 11:43 AM

I am out loading some 9mm right now, just stopped to get a bite to eat. Loading some 147 grain Berry's RN with 5.1 grains of AA#5. Gonna to 100 on the Dillon and then go back to loading the .223 that I thought about doing last week.

This the first time I have loaded any that heavy for a 9mm. Traded for some a few weeks ago so I thought I would try them out, a funny looking kinda long bullet!!

Everyone I speak to at my USPSA events/practice are shooting 147's that load there own. They said it keeps the recoil down a bit in a 9mm and are dam accurate. I have yet to try some but that's because I bought thousands of 115 and 124's in my last order.

JLA · 05-08-2012, 08:44 PM

alot of the 147 9 mil projectiles are of boattail design kinda like a rifle bullet.

todd51 · 05-08-2012, 09:05 PM

I'm loading some .380acp tonight. Just taking a break because those little boogers are no as much fun as a proper sized cartridge. Already dropped two and spilled the powder. Got 150 done and half way through the Lee FCD. I may just put it off till tomorrow.

American Leader · 05-08-2012, 10:49 PM

Too busy Bass Fishin to reload or shoot right now! Lovee catchin those big ole bass!
