Sittin at the loading bench!

[DRAM40A1]

I’ve been working on 32 H&R today. 85 and 100 grain Hornady XTPs with Vihtavouri N110. The FA 97 really likes the 85 grain XTP and 9.5 grains N110. I also have Missouri Bullets 120 grain cast on order. Anyone have pet loads they can share?
Still considering having Freedom Arms make a 327 Federal cylinder. They quoted 10 to 14 day turn around.

I'd have the spare cylinder made. Of course,, I like versatility.

I didn't do any loading today. But I did burn off some ammo today,, testing a bit.

I sent the first rounds through my 8 shot 357 Redhawk as well. 158 JHP with a full case of N110!

Nice bench.

My Uncle and I built it out of cypress. With all that weight on it, it does not move at all.

Don't EVER get rid of that RCBS press.... I only have one press and THAT's IT....well, mine is actually, the "Jr.". but it's still older than most people here .

Cypress is a very underrated wood. Light, strong and doesn't rot easily.

This material was left over from building window frames on an El Chico Restaurant. It’s already about 27 years old.

I bought this one in a box full of older reloading and it’s the one I started with. I have a new RCBS in storage and a Partner that I use to take out of town. Clamp it on a table in the hotel and go to town. LOL

I started with a Buchanan Precision Machine Hand Press with the Hornady L-N-L quick change die bushing set-up. I travel across five states readily so I figured it would be the best way to go. I use a sturdy 18"x31" portable work bench which I can setup just about anywhere. I pack all my reloading tools in Rigid tool boxes (except the ones related to brass cleaning, and the majority of my reloading manuals. Those I have been having to leave behind. Hopefully I'll be getting a motorhome soon and will be able to carry everything onboard at once.).

Any-who when I see a bench like yours's I start to drool!

Beautiful set-up

Hi DRAM, I have a couple of Rugers in 32H&R They seem to like
8 grains of Accurate #9 behind a 100 grain XTP.
Have fun!

I have #9 on hand and will give it a try.
