A fairly productive day...

[JetGirl]

Finally had a few hours to spare (although interrupted several times)...
and started stocking back up on the .45.
Yes, those are indeed pink primers.

Only got to do a couple hundred, but at least it got me back into the swing of things.
It'd been awhile since I reloaded anything, so I had to keep stopping and referring to my notes.
FYI to n00bs; "Keeping a reloading journal is the BEST advice I've ever been given."

Love the pink primers! How do you do that, nail polish perhaps or?

Just a pink Sharpie marker... while the primers are still in the tray in their box. (It's easier than doing it to them after they're seated in the cases...)
It's a great way to identify my brass...and make the manly men nervous.

Those are great. I'm not usually a "pink" girl, but I really like it.

Eventually, I'm going to learn how to do that.

 

[JetGirl]

I did make a rookie mistake, though...

After finishing the flare, charging my cases, and attempting to seat the first bullet...I met resistance in the ramrod and knew something wasn't right...
I took it back down and discovered a flat round nosed bullet...

Yep...I had forgotten to change the dies in-between steps. The seater die was sitting next to me on the bench lookin' at me like "WTF are you doing??"...

Don't try this at home, kids;

I'm not usually a "pink" girl,

Me, either! But the boys won't swipe your brass!!

 

[shooter1054]

Whats the big deal? You made a flat nose out of a round nose. Flat nose are usually more expensive. You were just beong economically sound.

Except those of us either secure in our masculinity, or so much of a brass whore we'll do anything for brass.

You decide.

 

[booey50]

what bullets were you using???

Amen brother, I wouldn't "swipe" anyone's brass but if they leave it laying around I don't care what color it is, it all comes out of the tumbler the same.

I wouldn't swipe it either, I do have SOME standards

I like the idea JG. I don't generally shoot on public ranges, but often I'm using a set of brass that may have a bunch of reloads through it, good way to identify mine if I do go out shooting on a range away from home.

I like the way you think, could develop a color code system with a different color for every reloading. That might simplify tracking the number of reloads on brass.

 

[JetGirl]

what powder and how many gr's?

Hodgdon Clays - 4.0 gr.

Just bought some but haven't tried them yet. I see by yours, they sure make for a much better looking round than my usual cast...

If you want to see it right-side-up, you're gonna have to flip your monitor upside-down.

Love the colored primers Jet Girl. My wife colors her primers with neon paint markers. Not only will the guys not take her brass but they are easier to spot that way.
