Quarantine Reloading Diary
- Thread starter lawn gnome
- Start date
Looks like everyone has been making the most of their time with reloading as much as possible
I have never reloaded so much ever. Been crossing things off the list that have been sitting for years. Not even getting crap from the wife.
i kind of dislike the chore of reloading, ive got all my 7-08 cases primed , *and now loaded and done about 50 30-06 rounds ready to shoot.
my next chore is the 222......... primers had been hard to find. i have 200, so that will do. 55gr zmax too for zombies

Yeah, a friend of mine "borrowed" some WSF and primers today to finish loading his 28 ga ammo. I don't use it anymore, he's welcome to it.
At last count he was over 4000 rds, all on a MEC 600 Jr. He'll have arms like the Hulk.. lol

500 9MM on a single stage since March 25th. Another 1000 pills will be ordered tomorrow. My count is just shy of 2000 rounds handcrafted 9MM and 350 rounds of store bought Blazer. 1600 pieces of brass in the hopper.
On a single stage? Wow. You're a trooper
I have another 1000 pieces of 223 brass coming from black sheep brass. I will be ordering some more projectiles soon. Snagged 5lbs of D8208 from canam to try. Should be an entertaining couple weeks

Don't I know it. A progressive is on my gift list.
I have a square deal b for my 9mm needs. I made 100 rounds of 9mm on my rockchucker....then I ordered the Dillon.

Square deal B is on my list of possible, but might go with Lee Auto Breech Lock Pro so I can do 5.56 on it. Would love a 750, but I'm Scottish (and thrifty).
Good. Got my components from 8 x 63 feeding the pigs; 2 K98's and a Hakim. That Swede MG powder has a slower curve than 4895. The one K98 has a huge firing pin hole, if you aren't prepared for it...it'll throw high pressure signs in that the primer will flow into the big ass firing pin hole.
Which is how I got it for 175 shipped with a Lyman 57 already mounted, LOL.
Swede MG powder must have a better curve for it as it's not showing primer flow...with Big Old 220 gr FMJ's to boot

Prepped and primed some 6BRA brass. Going to try some AR Comp with 105s...H4895 works good but the lot to lot spikes are a pain in the a$$...curious to see how it shoots.
Also finally built a barricade to dry fire practice...been on the "to do list" for 2 years

My wife now has 3,700 rds of .38 Spl loaded for Cowboy action, I now have 1,800 rds of .44 mag & 2,200 rds of .45LC loaded for Cowboy Action. Unfortunately I ran out of cast lead bullets before I ran out of brass, primers & powder. I figure we are good for this year, depending if matches ever resume.
I considered a progressive. Ended up buying a 2nd single. Now I need a 3rd. My bench is like an assembly line, especially if I can convince the kids to help.
Inspirational!
Got 2 five gallon buckets of 12ga target loads done. Started some odds and ends 44 S&W Special and 44 Rem Mag. Gotta get a collet puller and pull some 44 Mag I picked up.
Got a bag of 9mm 121gn Campros waiting for me. Might try to get some .357 158gn after that. Once my powder runs out then who knows...
