What did you do in the reloading room today?

I'll start us off. I've been working on some Accurate 51-410P bullets for a friend's 50-110 Winchester. Yesterday I decided to set up outside on a stack of pallets since it was nice for the checking/sizing and lubricating. I run them through a push through die to seat the gas check and size before running them into my Lyman 450 for lubricating. The reason is, that when you put a lot of pressure on the 450 for sizing huge gas checks, it sizes the bullets at an angle. So I generally push through size anything that gets gas checks.

Those 51-410P bullets got checked, sized, and lubed, and sent to a friend that is going to try them in his 1886 chambered for 50-110 Winchester. Anyone here mess with that cartridge?

Just a general cleanup and sorting in the loading room. I had to send a bullet feeder off for repair, and I will do a clean and lube on the Dillon’s when it gets back. To freaking cold to do anything outdoors!

Very nice looking bullets there! I have switched to powder coating on my lead bullets!

I decapped and sized a bunch of 6.5x284 cases that I annealed last week and then through them in the vibratory tumbler to clean. I need to work up a load with some 120 grain bullets. I put in for the antelope draw in Wyoming for this fall and I'm going to take the long range gun for some serious trophy hunting.
