Today at the Bench.....

[JeffreyDeGraff]

Wow! You were busy. I have a question, can you reload 45 Colt with 45-70 dies? I am wondering why I have a set of dies and I wonder if the brass I sold you came with the dies. The older I get, the less I remember, lol.

The 45-70 is bigger around than 45 colt, so no way to use them for sizing, and I think the difference in case length would render the seating die useless too.

My memory isn’t getting any better with age, that’s for sure.

That is kind of what I thought. It totally escapes me as to why I have the 45-70 dies then. I used to enjoy shooting the 45-70 from a contender, but it wasn't mine and it just seems too painful at my age. Oh well, it may provide more g/f un money, lol.

Put together some 44mag last night. 210gr powder coated cast and IMR 4227. First time using 4227 in pistol rounds. Anxious to see how they shoot.

Made a short to-do list for reloading that I left on the bench last night. Haven’t been able to get much else done as we are beginning to shop for our first house. Hopefully I can get a little better space for a better bench!

Looking good! Need a range report after you get to shoot them.

A lazy afternoon loading some 9mm odd bullet lots I have to use them up. Not worth changing over the progressive, so doing it on the chucker. I find it very relaxing.

I do everything on my Rockchucker. I love it.

My Rockchucker was good enough for so many years until . . . I bought my first auto, a Sig P227 and then another and then the Mrs and the daughter bought some more autos and somehow, I am supposed to provide ammo for all of them. I broke down and got a Hornady AP and I love it. I use it only for 9mm, 45acp and 300BO. I am a precision rifle guy at heart but the last few years I have taken a little side trip. Hoping to get back to the 6mmbr and the 204 this summer.
