[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Reloading question ?

Posted: 8/31/2012 10:37:00 AM EDT

How many of you guys reload\handload several times a week, every week in a calender year ?

OP doesn't include brass prep, organizing, load research. OP is specific to making cartridges at least one time a week..

This guy...

Up to 9mm, .223, 30 Carb and 30/06

I try to do something whether it be prepping brass, cleaning cases etc.. when I have a free minute

If I'm not pouring powder, I'm prepping brass.

I go in spurts. 2012 has been a lull year for me, as I've not shot a lot and so I haven't reloaded much. Some 45ACP, some 308 Win and some 338LM, but that's it.

I need to kick-start myself and start loading and shooting some more.

I really haven't bought much stuff in the past year, or two, as I'm pretty well stocked up, so that's not the problem.

Thanks for replies. I should add definition.

This would be dropping powder, seating bullet. Cartridge building.

I take 30 minutes once of twice a week to load 300-400 rounds of 9mm or 100-200 rounds of .223 on my Dillon XL650.
I prep brass as I go through the week/month running 2 tumblers on timers. I size and trim 600-800 pieces of .223 at a time once a month, remove crimps with a Dillon super swage 100-150 at a time at my leisure through the week.
Precision rifle I load about 100 rounds a week on average with my single stage. That takes some extra time to hand prime and trickle Varget, but recently got a Hornady LNL Auto-Charge and it's going much faster.

I at least build 10 rounds for trial every week.

I was until I started the remodeling project.

Haven't shot, cast or reloaded much at all the last few months.

I also go in spurts.

Long time reloader that hoards lots of brass and components.

I choose to go only when in the right mood and then I really lay into it.

Not the only useable method, every reloader needs to find methods that work well for you

I do usually at least once a week. I have a single stage lee press but sometimes I just go out to the shed (where my reloading equipment is) and pound out some ammo as my free time. Heck even if it's only 30 or 40 rounds I enjoy it.

I used to. If nothing else, I had to load 12 gauge ammunition every week in order to keep up with my Sporting Clays shooting. Same with ammunition for high power practice and matches, I was loading metallic ammunition on a single stage at the time.
