Just loaded for the first time 10 ga Black powder shot shells, loaded around 100 rounds, had to roll crimp for the first time, looking to shoot these through my 1887 Winchester shotgun, it was made in 1891. Went looking for some black powder today, ran out with 10 hulls left, and black powder is sold out locally here

Getting bored, everything is locked down or limited access, so I thought I'd do some reloading. I had 1K of 9mm projectiles, figured I load them, so I stopped at my local toy store and picked up a pound of Titegroup, go home, went to put it away, realized I still had a pound left!
At 1750 loads per pound, I guess I'll have to go pickup a couple of thousand more bullets! Think I'll check on primers before I buy anymore!

Couple hundred 6mm Rem. Some 25 WSSM. 260 Rem. - dan
last weekend wanted some 442 Webley, drew a projectile in cad using original drawings and specs, cut the mold in the CNC saturday, took some 44 win mag brass, thinned the rim and cut to length, turned a drift to expand the brass to size then using large pistol primers and 6 grains of Pyrodex loaded 24 rounds
took the antique revolver out and had some fun

Ohhh one of my babies!!!
I haven't posted in here even though I am a reloadaholic. I'm currently working on a batch (1600 or so) of .338 Lapua, Lapua brand cases. I've got a huge mix of lots, times fired and age, I started buying this stuff pretty much 20 years ago with the first prototype Timberwolf. I hoping that by the time I've made it through all of these that they are somewhat batch consistent. About 600 of these were fired out of the semi auto Direwolf during torture testing, and sometimes the extractor ripped chunks out of the rims LOL
The process will be as follows.
1-Decap
2-SS Pin tumble
3-Anneal in AMP machine
4-Full length size and bump .002" below CIP go gauge (Checked in rifle they are buttery smooth) with Redding full bushing die
5-Rinse in methyl alcohol to remove lube
6-Trim in lathe held Little Crow trimmer
7-SS Pin tumble
8-Outside/inside and VLD inside chamfer
9-Weigh on FX-120i and sort into .5 grain batches
10-Bag and tag
Lots of hands on, but a good chance to do a good inspection. I figure the annealing will bring things back to similar as far as the stresses of firing go, beyond destroying primer pockets. I've got a long cold winter to do this, all are done first cleaning, and 90% are annealed. I have 350 weight sorted so far.
