Tales from the Reloading Room

[AER244]

No, those are all ones my great grandpa found.

That’s a really cool collection. Are a lot of those toward the bottom right made of bone?

Yes, don't wanna hijack the thread but I guess it's in my reloading room so it counts LOL

BTW, these are the "leftovers". My grandpa/dad/aunts have the good stuff.

Heard. I’ll stop. That’s unbelievably cool and impressive and special though. Bone tools are hard to come by.

Still tinkering out here, almost threw this out but I guess now I'll watch John Wick in my reloading room.

Mine is behind me in my cave. I set it up to make me focus on making pew pew. All it's done for me is give me a sore neck

I have a chair that looks almost identical to that that I was going to move out there for the same thing.

I had everything in a shed it was nice heat and air and tv but not when I wasn’t out there. I moved into the spare bedroom where it is more climate controlled

No tv in mine.

Just turn on the stereo in the living room & crank volume to 50 or 70, unless I'm weighting charges on scales, then no stereo, house only 1200sqft and the bass vibrates the walls & rattles the windows.

Loaded 40 150 grain SST’s and 5 165 grain Speer grandslams to try in the .308 windy and rainy here so hopefully tomorrow

 

[Kwaynem]

I have no words. Rockchalk told me it’s environmental so that’s what I’m going with he knows a hell of a lot more than I do about reloading

 

[rockchalk06]

How did the SST's shoot?

 

[Kwaynem]

Group was a little under 1 1/4

 

[rockchalk06]

That's better?

 

[Kwaynem]

That's better?

Best I have found so far lol

how much are you jumping them off the lands? You might want to try pushing the bullets back to increase jump. Just start watching for pressure. Try another bullet. @rockchalk06 and @swampratt helped me out when we were on another site.

I was seating them by the book I was going to to try and find the lands by sticking a bullet in the case and jamming the bolt closed but the fired brass were all to big and the bullet didn’t fit snug enough. I need to size it down a little. Another thing I thought about was the tremors I have, I might try a lead sled next time but I don’t have any problems with my 270 or 6.5 creedmoor both shoot 1/2 to 3/4 groups

 

[adamsredlines]

What twist?
