Today at the Bench.....

[JeffreyDeGraff]

This weekend was pretty productive. I loaded 100 45 Colt with 250gr cast RNFP and trailboss. And 476 45acp with 230gr xtreme RN and W231.

I also made some test loads for 45Colt with 255gr Xtremes and unique. And 45acp with 230gr Rainier HP and W231 and bullseye.

I primed my starline 45-70, and decapped 100+ 257 Roberts brass.

Ive got a bunch more things to do, on my list.

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.
