What did you reload today?

One simple change on the LNL that helps a lot is installing a lock washer under the mounting bolt for the shell plate. It loosens up all the time. I bought the LED light and the roller handle from inline fabrication and both work great. You got an awesome deal on that press.

Yep, hundreds!

Including tax and shipping, this is probably a $650 press pre-panic, including the extra shell plate. Even with the glass, I'm into it for about $225. I'd need to buy the extra bushings and third shell plate even if I bought a new press. So my savings on the press itself is about $425. That was well worth a drive to Indiana PA.

I was sort of joking. Finding any reloading equipment now at a reasonable price is a miracle. I got into reloading to save money. I'll let you know when that happens 😏

It is a disease and I sense you got it. If you need some cast bullets or brass let me know. I would be glad to help you out.

Speaking of cast bullets, when are you going to go down that rabbit hole 😀

Don't forget, I still have a partial box of .30 carbine that's yours.

I just realized that I'm missing another part - the baffle. I see that's a good thing to have, so that the feeding of the powder is less affected by the height of the column.

Meanwhile, I scheduled a snipe for a pack of 10 Lock-N-Load bushings on eBay. The prices are crazy. These will cost me more than the press itself.

Good, I hope you enjoy it. I've been very happy with mine.

Last week was 12Ga week. Birdshot and buckshot , oh my!

This weekend was making 300 blackout cases from 223 brass.

So its 300 blackout week for me. I've got a bunch of 155 grain lead boolits I cast and some jacketed stuff to try.

This weekend, i break in a N00b in the art of reloading.

I had to go to Erie yesterday for work. Found powder and even some ammo at very *normal* prices. I didnt feel like I was paying more than a couple bucks over 2019 prices. Bob*s gun shop was one place and Keystone Armory was the other.
