well, i was not bored, but i really could not leave the house this morning. it's been an unusual summer, with heat, and very high humidity, and rain, lots of rain. so since i had to stay home, reloading seemed to be a good use of time, cuz it's RAINING AGAIN...!!!!
so as many of you know, i have the Lee Pro-4000, set up for 9mm, and i also have 45 ACP dies, which came with it, when i bought it.
as well as the 550c Dillon, with dies for 9mm, 45 ACP, 45 Colt LC, and 38 special.
so anyway, i have quite a bit of new 9mm, but i wanted to "dial in" the Lee for the TiteGroup powder. believe it or not, it's been since maybe September (??) when i got that powder...i had just been using the Dillon more.
well, NO lost, or runaway primers, as in the past. i did that trick of putting the primer piece into boiling hot water, to "reset" the way primers come out and into the primer cup.
only planned on 100 rounds...but ended up making 200. (124 gr. LRN, these came with the reloading room i bought)
tomorrow, i wipe off the wax, on each cartridge, and box them, and label all the info.
as usual, several rounds were checked for proper grain drop, (i am using 3.5 gr) the starting charge, as my usual way to do this.
they plunked quite well.
i think it took me about 2.5 hours from setting up, to cleaning up the bench when done.
i was not rushing, i was just "in da groove", and frankly, i surprised myself, cuz that Lee was operating quite well, especially, no primers going AWOL.....
sooner or later, i gotta get started again reloading 45 ACP, i have like 15 empty boxes, and they keep piling up.
those will be done on the 550c.
