So, What You Doing On The Bench Today?

[62chevy]

Got tired of always ordering more ground corn cob media because I toss it when it gets black. So yesterday I got in a 40 pound bag of the stuff I ordered online. It is ground up way finer than the usual stuff I buy, so I am sort of hoping it does not stick in the primer flash holes any more. First load is in to see if it still cleans as well, too.

I'd have to change my corn cob after 200 cases. You sure 40 pounds is enough?

I've heard that white rice is good for tumbling, haven't tried it yet, but a 25-40lb bag is fairly cheap at Costco or sams club.

When you get hungry you can always eat the rice, win win. =)

I wouldn't want to eat it after a few tumbling cycles...

I picked up 1,300 200 grain Rainier bullets locally, I will be loading 45 ACP this weekend. He was asking $100.00 or trade and when I asked him what he was looking for in trade he wanted small pistol primers, WW231 or 230 grain 45 ACP bullets. Luckily I have 231 so I traded him 5 pounds, the 231 cost me $8.00 a pound when I bought 40 pounds of it so I figure I got the bullets for $40.00.

I haven't been loading long enough to remember prices being that low :/

[Happyguy]

I know, I am, old.

[Mbaker78]

I'm not exactly young, just got into it late.

You and me both. :|

My Dad had me pulling the press handle when I was so young that I barely had the strength to get the shells out of the sizing die. He got a big kick out of it and so did I. Dad's gone now. He died in 2012 at 95 years young.We reloaded together for 50 years. I miss him. And yes, I'm old now too.

Some of my old cardboard ammo boxes are just falling apart. I am slowly going through them all, and replacing all the all the bad ones with 100 round plastic boxes. Made some 6.5X55 rounds for my Swedish Mauser.

Swapped an apex trigger into my M&P, function tested fine, I'll likely test it out today. I made a world of difference, cut trigger travel time down to maybe a quarter of what it was and weight down by at least half. I only opted for the polymer trigger for the time being, I might eventually upgrade it to an aluminum flat trigger though.

I expanded the case mouths on some 9mm cases and setup the seating die so I'll be ready to load them up when I get a chance.

[gandog56]

Got a load of .357 mag, .38 special, 9mm, and 7.62X54R out of the wet rotary tumbler and have them drying.

[Happyguy]

Just ordered another 10mm, in an attempt to keep up with gandog, so more 10mm loading.

I've heard that "dirty Rice" is a real dish (I live pretty close to Cajun Country), but this brings a bad picture to my head.

[gandog56]

And I'm looking for a deal on the new SIG P220 10mm.

[Mbaker78]

I'd like to see S&W make a 10mm M&P...

I sorted some .30-06 brass that arrived in the mail yesterday. I received as part of a trade I made on this very website.

Made a couple of trades on here too now I have plenty of 308 and 45 acp, I think anyways.

[gandog56]

I didn't do a dang thing on the ol' bench today. I was just feeling plain old downright lazy.

Tuesday I deprimed and bulge busted about 1100 pieces of 40s&w and ran it through the wet tumbler. Finally got around to getting it out of the dryer last night and sorting the nickel out from the yellow.
