Nice job CM!!

 

[RobbyMaQ]

Agreed! Did you have to make the base, flue, etc?

 

[SaintsNSinners]

That looks real nice CM

 

[SEIndSAM]

Wow, I'm getting a workout. Processing some .223 brass I bought off an INGO'er last summer and this must be the dreaded "machine Gun brass" I have heard about. It's really big and taking a lot of effort to resize. I'm gonna have a Popeye muscle on my right arm and none on my left.

 

[SaintsNSinners]

I got brass that no one seems to want...

 

[SEIndSAM]

What do you have, I only reload .223 & 9mm

 

[SEIndSAM]

I sold off all my oddball calibers last year and stuck with what I had the most of, then bought the stuff to reload those sizes.

Well, excepting .22lr, can't reload that.

Most all of the flu pieces are on the shelf at Manards. The box attached to the ceiling as well. We had to modify some things as the roof/ceiling was a bear to get done but hey, great weather.

The flue and all the bits beyond the stove ran about $400. Included all the triple wall pipe and roof pieces.

Crappy cell phone pic but it is ready to go

Dr. Quinn will never see this.

 

[RobbyMaQ]

Is resizing done by hand? like, no machinery?

 

[SaintsNSinners]

I have brass of every kind... Im brass thief... If I look down at the range and there is brass at my feet I shove it in my pocket. I also police all my brass and any brass that is around that isnt mine... lol

 

[SEIndSAM]

Why CT2, is she wanting a set up like that???

Sort it and save it. Come March, Profire will have their reloading swap meet and you can sell it if it is sorted. 9mm & 40 will bring .04 each, .45 is .05 each, .223 is 7 or 8 cents and .308 is a dime.

I do the same thing, made about $50 at the last meet just on range brass in sizes I couldn't use.

I'm still wanting to take Andrew's class

 

[chocktaw2]

No 5.56?

 

[SEIndSAM]

No 5.56?

Yes, of course I do 5.56

 

[chocktaw2]

Yes, of course I do 5.56

You took my breath away for a moment there.

Andrew has forgotten more about reloading than I will ever know.

I didn't take a class, but my BIL has been doing it and has answered questions I had. Plus I read a couple of reloading books cover to cover.

 

[SaintsNSinners]

its been listed for trade on here for over a year

 

[SEIndSAM]

One of these days I will prob pick up some .38spl dies and start doing those, but I only have one .38 and only use it during the summer. Don't really shoot it enough to justify buying the dies.
