What did you do today in the reloading room?

Here it is. Did it on a manual Bridgeport style mill. Took awhile. 66 .437 holes. A lot easier really on a CNC mill

We don't have any CNC equipment in the shop. I wish we did. A place I worked in a few years ago had a Okuma CNC mill. I didn't clean up the holes much. Little rough around the edges but, works for smaller calibers
 
Has anybody ever put a little mineral spirits in with their polishing media? A friend of mine does it regularly. I've tried it, and don't really know if it helps or not.

It helps cut the dust. And I do think it shines them up a little better. I usually add a cap full and run the tumbler 15 minutes before I throw in my brass. If you don't, the wet media will pack in a case and you'll have a time getting it out
 
Loaded 120 6mm BRA with 68 gr Avengers and 32.0 H322 and got started on the 6mm PPC with 68gr Avengers and 28.35 LT32, got 70 or so of those and like about 50 more for the First UBR Score Match next Saturday

Did all case prep for 100 pieces of 308 brass. Primers, powder, & bullets today and trip to MSSA Saturday.

Gonna try some SW Tac Rifle in a few. Have some 125 gr's I wanna push a little bit.
 
Loaded some more .357s with HP 38 and lead bullets . I've been shooting them at our clubs 50 ft. indoor range , they work nice. Took my old M1 out yesterday , shooting steel discs at 100 meters. its no darn wonder we won WW2, the M1 is quite a rifle.

No, but have used a little turtle wax to keep the dust down and give them a little more shine. The trick was to add it while it before adding the brass and running it a few minutes to get it all distributed properly, otherwise it clumps up and ends up stuck in the cases. But have since switched to wet tumbling and haven't looked back.
 
Loaded 66 .38 Specials today. Hornady 158 gr. RN with 5.0 gr. Herco, and Win. Small primers. Got about 250 more I wanna do later in

Did some Warbird annealing with my new Ugly Annealer. This thing works a lot better than I was hoping for.

Wow that is very impressive and not at all ugly. I've see saw blades with teeth ground down used as the feed mechanism.

Just saw the price. I think that is practically free. If you get just a single extra round of 300 WM brass by annealing you break even.
