Did a dry cleaning of my carry 1911. Do I eat the swabs to gain JMB’s power?

Dummy Round with nice roll crimp
When I sat this bullet to build a dummy round round for my new 6.8W, I shaved so much of the sides of the bullet that I think the .277 bullet is now about ready to be loaded into a 6.5 CM. The crooked roll crimp was a nice touch.
I still cannot believe it fed into the chamber.
Note: this was my first time using a Redding seating die. I much prefer the Hornady seating die. Even the lock rings on the Reddings are a pita. Redding dies high prices for bad designs.
If Hornady ever makes 6.8W dies, I'll replace the Redding Die Set.

7.5 Swiss...Weatherby?
First time loading this caliber and followed normal routine for setting up: set die depth to touch the shell holder.
Fire form, anneal and reload?

So, uh, about that whole, “find new brass, get a new gun” thing…
Anybody have a lead on a surplus M61 Vulcan?

Is this how I make spicy loads?

Had some pulled 8mm mauser bullets left over from primer strike testing on my VZ24. Decided to make some shitty compressed black powder 8x50R Austrian Mannlicher ammo with them.

Probably user error, also I say projectile, I mean casing, I’ve had a couple beers before the video forgive me.

Assistance with an important experiment.
For those of us having difficulty getting somewhere to shoot our chronograph so we can go buy a new chronograph, I would like to propose development of a new measurement system which I believe will more accurately determine pressure. I theorize the volume of the ignition will increase in proportion to the internal pressure. I also posit that the most accurate way to measure this is to test your ammunition in a carefully calibrated and controlled environment (basement) while your measuring device (wife) is in an identical and neutral state (asleep). The important things here will be to collect the correct measurements, which would likely be provided via audible feedback. Can anyone help me expound on this theory, what data points should be collected, and what this system should be called? Without a firm scientific theory, I would be irresponsible to begin experiments

Need load data for a 500 grain 45 ACP. Oh, the shitty part? Small pistol primer brass. Also keeps failing the plunk test?

Wrong powder, wrong tin
I just dumped a tricklers worth of WIN748 into the last of my IMR3031. Please pray for me.

Yes, I really did decide to work up a wildcat for my first ever reloading project.
A 125gr Sierra Match King in a Starline .32 ACP case.

I had a Gun Related ND
Range Day did not go as planned. A "friend" was setting up his first targets, the new (POS) Staple Gun malfunctioned. His left hand was nowhere near the staple gun when it "just went off." 😪
My friend literally had to go home before getting a single shot off.
Always point your staple gun in a safe direction.

Perfect amount of flare
Setup my 750 last night for 9mm. I think I got the flare dialed in really well. After that I set the crimp perfectly. Nothing better than getting it right on the first try!

Finally get to add mine
maybe it’s shitty reloading or a fail on my part or both.
burning through some 45acp i loaded up a few years back. this was one of like 300 i done in that session.
yea that could’ve ended badly

Never seen so many primers rip/ have the cup fail when depriming
Picked up a ton of this at a local range and out of maybe 500 these primer cups failed when depriming.

Ordered 9mm range brass online, ended up with 62% of the brass being .380 ACP

My attempt at making a 70-150 with a lathe
Had access to a lathe and I own an 1887 so i’d figure I’d try and turn down a bar stock to sheet metal thin, cause how hard could it be? gave up on the .700 caliber bullet after realizing the drill was offset, so now it’s 50-150. powder charge is mach fuck, projected velocity is ‘no longer here’. Also the rim is half gone, don’t ask. It did cycle once though (if placed in the right position).
