What gun stuff did you do today?

[War-Buff]

I loaded up some .45 ACP rounds with small primer brass I picked up from a member a while back. I'll use them in the indoor range so I don't have to worry about losing the brass that goes down range (yes, as a reloader I usually hate that). I have an RCBS Pro Chucker progressive press dedicated to .45 ACP, but since these are small primer I loaded them on my single-stage Rock Chucker. After some 35 years and with 3 progressive presses on the bench, I still enjoy single-stage reloading.

Traded for a Contender pistol with a .22 lr octagon bbl and open sights. Spent the morning sighting it in and testing a variety of 22 ammo to see which played well with it. Turned out it likes Remington subsonic HP the best...luckily I have over a case of it. Also liked Centurion 40gr RN high velocity, CMP ELEY, & Remington white box USGI std velocity, all shooting to the same impact point. Wolf Match Target (both lots I had on hand) shot nicely accurate and hit 1" higher, but Wolf is a bit expensive and hard to find to shoot cans with. Found ammo it didn't like too, but then that's the purpose of testing.

And to add some pics of today. I played with my new Rossi .357 that I just did a fluff and buff too and got my Full Auto LCS SK-19 back from warranty and free upgrades so I was shooting it also. Did not take pics shooting the Rossi but it was a tac driver. Daezee was the witness of that.

Pics...

Loaded 45 rounds of 223 with Wolf 55 grain fmj 26 grains CFE 223 CCI SR primers. Would of loaded more but my Lee powder measure wasn’t throwing consistent amounts. First time I’ve ever had a problem with it not being consistent. I hope that taking it apart and cleaning fixes it but if not I’ve got a backup

Just got this flashlight in the mail from the UK and mounted it onto my MKE.

I sized, trimmed and cleaned .223 brass. I had it in 2 buckets...1st bucket was all LC 2nd was mostly LC and commercial with some random 6.8 and a .308 to clog up the case feeder. I got the first bucket in the cement moxer to wash...will wash the 2nd bucket in the morning. Then I will need to sort the second bucket when it finishes washing and drying along with the other 2 full buckets I put up a little while ago...I should be set for a minute maybe.

I finished the first container of rifle cleaning with this old gurl...a '79 Browning BBR in 300 Win Mag. Barrel still looks brand new almost. I put her up years ago and the deer is mounted over my desk.

This one locks up pretty tight

If I didn't know better in a previous life she shot some hot loads

trimmed and de-burred those 300+ .243 cases i annealed and sized earlier.

That is really a cool idea. I have one for checking my 10mm rds. VERY handy!! ( tks Fanner50!)

Just a case checker? or one with the cutout?

Those are my bullet of choice, 110 grain Barnes 300 BLK.
In my bolt action 300 BLK , the 110 grain hornady V max shoots to the same point of impact at 100 yards , so I use them for target practice. But I use the barnes for hunting game or predators . They have been reliable with out fail.

Just the solid one. Checks loaded rounds. Keeps my noob in check!

Oh yeah, try some factory loaded rounds in it........ they "fail" you'll be suprised, I was.
