Been a while really since I’ve visited a fun shop, but I wanted to price a new (150+ kg) safe so I popped down to Grafton Firearms and Fishing and was pleasantly surprised to see a good selection of powder.
I had to celebrate by buying some 06H, happy days!

Was bored so I decided to de-prime and and wash the 9mm brass I collected over the last 2 or so weeks.
My hitech deprimer:

And my fancy tumbler:

Worked pretty well I think, after drying I cleaned the primer pockets with a dremel with brass brush attachment.

Primers and projectiles bought, just need a press, some powder, calipers, dies and some other bits and bobs.

That’s the only tumbler I’ve ever used and I have a shotgun reloading kit I cobbled together that looks just like your deprimming set up!

Made some 8x57 Mauser out of some once fired 30-06.
Some people will ask why?
Coz I can and because I can buy 3kg of 30-06 for the price of a handful of 8mm brass.

Here’s a thread from back in day showing how I did my Jap brass. There’s a little more to these, but its basically the same process.

Damn it feels good to be tinkering at the bench again after so long! :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

I decided on a Lee single stage kit. Very basic so I could learn and control the process. I was lucky to get some ADI AS50N powder on loan which others had been using for 9mm loads. According to ADI it’s equivalent to their AP450.

Got some data and started at min. load, currently settled on 2.9grn and 135HP proj. Did up 300 rounds last week and they seem pretty good. Developed a Ganglion cyst so I might have to look at a fancier press in the near future. :joy:

@juststarting Spanish Air Force M98, you’ve shot it before.

@MangoBombs , maybe you just need a comfier knob?
I know reloading bulk pistol ammo gets tedious though on a single stage.
Glad to hear your getting into it mate. :+1:

Not a bad suggestion bents. And I’m much, much too mature to mention the double entendre. :innocent:
I don’t mind the actual reloading, I put on a podcast or an album and get lost in the process.
I don’t really like how much time it takes up however, if that makes sense. Still have to optimise it a bit more I suppose.

If you’re not looking to spend Dillion type money, the Lee pro 1000 is usable.
I used one for 38 spec for a bit, I gave up on the primer function, but still, usable.

Here you go, just splitting this up

That’s a good cast bullet powder…06H

It’s basically universal, I use it on everything from .222 to 8mm and 303.
I like just having one powder that does everything

Not reloading reloading, but I’ve finally caved and picked one up.

That’s one tiny ass compressor…Still cool though :grin:

I don’t need a big of fancy one. $150 with bunch of accessories and 3 year warranty, seemed like a good deal. I’ve been using cans of air to blow shit out of reloading equipment, this is definitely a step up.
