I loaded some cheap midrange 45 practice ammo with 185 swc and BE.
But the linkage on my Dillon powder measure sort of broke. Nothing serious,  just annoying.
It's around 35 yrs old so I can't really complain.

I loaded some .38 Super ammo this morning--135 & 147 grain coated Bear Creek swaged bullets and some 147 grain plated bullets.  I'll need to order more bullets for load development.
This afternoon the .45 ACP factory crimp die I ordered came in but not the .38 Super.

Contacted Dillon about my powder measure and they replied immediately to say that they will send a new replacement part...no charge.

Accumulated a few k of 45acp brass so I started tumbling them. Will load more practice ammo today.

The media is starting to look grungy and the motor bearings need lube. To save money, I might try washing the media. It's my blend of corn and walnut.

Ran off some more 45 practice ammo for Sunday.
I use newspapers to wipe off the residual case lube.
Thank you j.green for attempting to shut down our public range.

This is the practice ammo I made.
It is a soft swaged lead swc hp. It is powered by a light charge of  bullseye because the metal is so soft I can easily dent it with my fingernail.
 Also, if you drive it too fast, it will foul your bbl and the low recoil is better for arthritic fingers.

Furthermore, it hangs up on the throat because the metal is too soft. Seating depth appears long, but it's not.
Basically, it's crappy ammo.
The only reason I shoot it is because I got the bullets cheap.

going to practice 45 tomorrow so I made some 45 lswc ammo using some pretty old bullseye powder.
Just low power stuff. 200 gr. at about 750 fps.
I need the practice. Muscles and eyesight are getting old. :(
