What did you do today in reloading-land?
I sorted 8000 rounds of 223/5.56 brass. Once sorted, I started processing it by running it through my 650 with a small base resizer and then hitting it with the RT trimmer. Then I got to swage out the primer pockets. Once I was all done, I finally got to use my new Lyman wet tumbler. They come out looking brand new.

Been putting this off knowing I was going to have knee surgery and off of work for a while.


Yeah, I used to have a couple of guns.

Loaded another 100rds of 40 on the new Dillon RL1100. Up to 300 now. Nothing for this machine but I'm getting used to it and double checking everything as I go for now.

I reloaded 900 rounds of 9mm practice ammo this morning.
While at the range yesterday I picked up about 25 pounds of brass. Lots of 9 mm and 5.56 brass.
I figured with the ammo shortage that there would be no brass left at the club. Glad to get all the brass.

Went to the range today to unload some practice ammo. While there I picked up 37 more pounds of brass. I am very surprised at the amount of brass that has been on the ground at the range lately. I am happy to be able to get all the free brass.
In the last week I have picked up over 50 pounds of brass. Mostly 9mm and 5.56.

I bought 250 rounds of once fired 308 brass from Academy the other day. I have been sizing and priming part of that. Loaded 20 308 rounds of mild 125 grain loads of that to finish a box of 50.

I did get a 200 pound boar hog with one of my 308 reloads with a 110 grain Spitzer 5-5-2020. I prefer a heavier bullet but a box of the 110s was given to me. Another update, same load, for 7-15. I got a double, shot all the way through a 150 pounder and also killed a 100 pound pig behind it. 150 yard shot.
