I suppose this will keep me busy for a day or two...

Post by nothing on Fri Dec 16, 2011 11:17 pm



I want to get all my reloading done for the year before it gets hot. It's no fun in 100+ degree weather.

Nice looking setup. Looks like you got factory projectiles. What model is that Lee press? What are you going to load and what powder is that? Like I said, nice reloading station.

Thanks,

It's a Hornady Lock N Load AP press. I'll be loading a couple of different loads with precision delta bullets:

147gr FMJ-TC
3.4gr Titegroup
1.140 OAL

124gr FMJ
4.1gr Titegroup
1.140 OAL

Both loads make about a 134 PF in my XD. I still need to chrono them through my Shadow to make sure they still make PF before I get started. I figure about 10,000 9mm rounds will last me until next year with some room to breath. I already have my .45 loaded up and I'm down a half a case of .40 left to load. I don't keep nearly as much .40 and .45 on hand since I shoot those so much less. Usually I only keep 2k each and still have plenty left at the end of the year.

BTW, I'm pretty sure my mail-man hates me now. It took 2 days to get all 5 cases.

I always loaded up what I needed for a match the night before and chamber checked em...Never liked loading too many at one time for match use

Nice setup

Was thinking the same thing about those 11 boxes?

Don't believe I would have the patience to load that many ..... a few hundred at a time for me ... usually!! Of course, I do not shoot as many as do you in a year .....

Simple and efficient setup. Those lock-n-loads are sweet! I gotta get mine back up and running. It has been idle for a while...

I'm sure thinking about getting one or building a poor-mans version.

The case feeder is on the list I assure you and no, there is no AC in the garage storage room.
