Back to my reload bench.....

[Mus408]

For the first time this year due to other projects.
Noticed I didn't have much heavy .45 Colt ammo for my Ruger Alaskan so I'll be making up 300 rounds of 300 gr. hammer heads over 10 gr. of Unique. A great all around choice for banging on the steel or defensive purpose.
They will also be run thru my little Rossi Ranch Hand too.
Then maybe a run of .45 ACP.

Enjoy! ps

I've gone through spells of not spending much time at my reloading bench in the most recent few years.
First,,, I already had a lot of ammo loaded,,, so none was needed. Then we took on a building project, and it took a fair amount of my spare time.
But now,,, I'm back to doing a bit more,,, and still trying to shoot up a lot of my older stuff. I've switched from; "All brass loaded",,,,, to; "Keep a lot of components handy!"

Yeah, I've been loading up empties off 'n on for the past couple of weeks too. Started with .38 Spl SWC's. Still working on those, then it'll be on to the .45LC's.

For me, the "new wore off" of reloading many years ago, so these days it's not a lot of fun. Actually, it's just an occasional job that needs doing. The good parts is that I make some very-good ammo, and that I'm working for myself so I can go at my own pace.

Single stage press, an antique "single loader" LEE hand primer, Liquid Alox, Unique powder, and two old "scraper type" primer pocket cleaners...all old school stuff, which makes for a perty-dern slow process, and even moreso when one puts it off until there's thousands of rounds to do. :shock: .

Load a while, pick a stopping point and walk off for a while.
Rinse 'n repeat until it's all done, then put everything away until next time.....

....Yep, that's me.
