I got tired of looking at all the cardboard boxes of shotgun wads so I got my tail up to Home Depot and got 7 clear sterlite 30 gallon tubs to reorganize them.

I looked at my bench and said " Damn I should really organize my stuff". Same as I did the previous 7 months.

I built a PVC canister for a HF rock tumbler. Got the kinks worked out and tumbled a load of junk brass I picked up. Some of it was nasty. I was pleasantly surprised how well it worked. SS pins, Dawn and Lemi-shine.

I developed a ladder test for my 243. Gonna try and run some 80 Gr. Sierra blitzs for everything 500 yards and in, and save the more expensive 107 SMKs for the 600+. Hope to shoot them through the chrono at the range next weekend.

Well tonight I cleaned all my rifles I hunted with/shot this year. Made me realize I need a dedicated bench for cleaning guns. I cleaned 8 rifles and it was a pain in the ass without having a work area. Really wish I would have made my reloading bench to deeper dimensions. And also is it a subset of Murphy’s law that when you break down and buy a box of new brass, a friend just happens to give you a couple of boxes of once fired brass in that caliber? Got enough 280 now to last me the next 30 years.

Not near as much as I should have, really need to do a thorough cleaning


If I agreed with you, we'd both be wrong.

Went to range yesterday and tested some 124gr xtp's out and recorded data. Also zeroed the 270's new load. Cleaned and processed some 9mm,270win and 223 brass. Got all my 300blk gear in today and will be setting up dies tomorrow. Also scanned the reloading classifieds on ar15.com and came across a heck of a deal on brand new primed brass and snatched me up 1000.

Well finally got in the 8mm brass. Now for some fire forming. Unique, cream of wheat and carpenter glue and I'll be ready to make some 8x58mmR Danish brass from this 8x56mmR Hungarian brass.

Damn that’s awesome nitro.

Well after 10 years the cheap 4’ shop light I have hanging over my bench bit the dust. I ended up buying the 4’ led retrofit kit from the electrical supply house here and got it installed in 2 minutes. Literally. The LED strips and ballast are all magnetic so they just pop in place. Just remove the bulbs and old ballast and sockets, and attach them. Two wires and you’re good to go. Wish I would have done it a long time ago. So much brighter and better quality light. No annoying hum either. I don’t have an electronic scale but I don’t think the LEDs affect them like the magnetic ballasts would.
