I had it built around 2003 or 4. I played with it for awhile, found a couple good loads, killed a few deer, then put it away. I dusted her off a few years ago and have started to do some more serious load development.Originally Posted by Flyeralan

It’s been too cold to shoot here lately, and work has been busy as crap, so I’ve just been slowly prepping some 223 brass for my AR.

Yeah, it's been too cold here as well. Changed the AP over from 300 BO to 9mm last night, gonna run some 147gr subs for my CZ Scorpion.

Finally getting back to reloading a bit. Spent a couple hours last night over a zoom call with my cousin, who’s starting to reload, on going over the steps of setting up a sizing die and going over the steps of trimming/deburring/chamfering. He’s read the ABC’s of Reloading and I think just got overwhelmed a bit. Since I have to reset all my dies since the addition of a wear plate to my co-ax, I figured it’d be helpful for him to see the process. It worked well too as I had my rifle handy to show the process of adjusting to your rifles chamber rather than just following the directions that come with the dies. All in all, I resized 5 pieces of brass for my .338-06. Haha! I’m getting somewhere!

Sounds like you are getting him going in the right direction.
I had some time to get some stuff done yesterday, but couldn’t figure out anything to do. That was depressing.

I almost wish I had that problem! Ha! Since I’m not shooting much, I’m slowly going through all rifles and cleaning them. Once the bores are cleaned the corresponding sizing die gets re-adjusted.
Long list of reloading to do before moving into our own house in April-May. This move will be easy as it’s just across town rather than across a few states.

When I bought my house it was the same way, across town. Made it very easy.
I’ll find something to do I’m sure. Just need to get creative.

Nothing too exciting but I worked on setting up more dies last night. I got the dies set up for my .30-06 and .243. I don’t know why, but I hate setting up dies. It’s tedious but at least now I know they are set up to my rifles chamber for minimal resizing.

Haven’t been at the bench much. Corncob tumbled some 223 and 7x57 brass today.
But I did make it to the range today. Shot my 32 Winchester special, 45-70 1895g, puma92 454, Rossi92 357, SBH 45 colt, cimarron arms birds head 45colt, Taurus judge, bond arms snake slayer, glock 30sf, 1911, and Springfield XDM 9mm. Some was plinking, some was load development. Felt great to get out.

How old is your 32 win spl? I have my great-grandfather's from 1923.
