Re: Coronavirus Reloading Thread
Just finished a 2.5 day project reloading 1280 5.56x45 cartridges. Six 30 rnd mags were loaded and stored in the outside pockets of the rifle case. The rest went into a FAT-50 can. Did three repacks of 120 rnds each, seven 100 rnd zips, and four bagged leftover stripper clips:

Re: Coronavirus Reloading Thread
After exerting my geezer privilege to shop early at WallofChinaMart today I sat down and found this thread.
Thanks BambooMaster. Was in need of some .45apc bullets so I fired up the pot.
50/50 mix of range lead and lead sheeting. Being a scrounger cost is around .40 cents/lb.
The NOE mold dropped them at 222 gr,'s, .453-.454" with a BHN of 11. Will recheck BHN later to see how much it changes after a bit of curing. Light tumble lube with alox and johnsons wax mix. Sized them to .4525" and relubed. Drying now.
The bullet is supposed to be a replica of one of Brownings early designs.

I'm still working on 300 Blackout brass prep. Finished up swaging brass that I had and now popping primers out of shot brass.

Rules are written in the stone,
Break the rules and you get no bones,
all you get is ridicule, laughter,
and a trip to the house of pain.
