Tales from the Reloading Room

Name??

RCBS Ram Prime Unit.

Hahaha good ol' classic lee ram prime.

I'm still using my old lee hand auto primes, got my first one in 86, another one about 5 years later, they're fine enough.

Lee makes a bench mounted auto prime now, its got a handle so you don't have to use your thumb like the hand auto prime.

One of my single stage rcbs got a ram prime rocker lever cup, seats the primer on down stroke.

Hell the old ram mounted primer pocket crimp swage remover,

Had it so long can't remember if its lee or lyman, fuckmefunny it might be rcbs.

Got such a mix of parts from various manufacturers I don't remember who made what if I don't label it.

You ought to be alright, it's a lyman is it not

It’s a Lyman. Fills good the press is heavy and the head has no play as of now. Can’t wait to get using it

 

[Ndenway]

I know an old man that has a turret press, idk if it's a lyman or herter's, it's reddish orange color, i know it's old, as it was his dads press.

It loaded a lot of ammo and he still loads rifle ammo with it, so it must be pretty durable.

I have the black one like this and I really like it.

Is there a thread for what presses ppl are using talking about the pros and cons?
I have a few I could talk about?

 

[ClintC]

Thank for the info. I really like the weight and fill of the press. Can’t wait to start reloading on it. No thread yet on press. But there could be one started.

Found my load for the .360. 50 yard zero has flat to 100 with about 2 inches of drop at 150. I'll push this out to 200 next weekend. I was almost gambling with yesterdays wind.

 

[rockchalk06]

Spoils from the Club yesterday. Decent amount of LC 23

 

[rockchalk06]

Annealed all my brass from last weeks scrounge, today

 

[rockchalk06]

Today's spoils

 

[rockchalk06]

Have my work cut out for me this weekend. Bag of 5.56, 6.5 and 7PRC to anneal

 

[rockchalk06]

You, then the guy she told you not to worry about

 

[rockchalk06]

I think I'm going to enjoy loading for the 7PRC. This is the 184 grain Hybrid Target. Jam ended up being 2.667" CBTO and my normal come off 20 tho put me at 2.647" CBTO. This gave me more than plenty of bearing surface in the neck and kept me well above the shoulder junction.

I could easily go longer by a half tho or a full.

Annealing day too
