A little reloading ...anyone..?

jaycee

Sadly ...not in Ireland ...
This is a guy stateside .. Would WOW ! be the appropriate term...?

No, I think "Fire Hazard" would be the appropriate term. Way too much flammable stuff in too small an area.

Now, this guy...









Why the jeep and the wooden walls? Well, you see, the room's soundproofed.
And there's this in one wall:



Which leads, across up to seven chronographs, outside:





Furthest target? 1000yards. Hence the jeep. Lads and ladies, that is what you call a proper reloading setup

Time to move to the States, I think!

Those chipboard walls are a severe surface spread of flame risk, so much so that that's exactly what the fire service use on the walls of their flashover siumlators.

I'm assuming that some high tech flame retardant has been used to treat the wood. :eek:

Either that or the guy has a huge insurance policy and his wife helped him put them up... :rolleyes:

reloading propllent is not as flammable as you might think, a box of sulpher matches has more explosive content and burns at about 10 times a faster rate.if you look closely at any of those pix youll see none of the powder measures have any propellent in them.

The guy with the garage has over 15 powder funnels(at least 10 aluminium ones) - and 5 RCBS presses on the one bench WHY?????

Maybe , when he gets setup for a caliber in a way that pleases him , he
doesn't want the hassle of setting up dies. etc. all over again.

If you want to spend your money like that , why not..?

he's experimenting with different grades of propellent (slow to fast burning rates),to find the "sweet spot" in the harmonics of the barrel to do that you need to fire around at least 60 rounds in different stages of grain weights (normally .2 of a grain incerments),so id say each powder dispencer has a different type of propellent in them,as for the presses they all seem to be single stage presses,its more consisant when your fine-tune reloading to do each stage of reloading seperately,as for the blue multi stage dillon presses they look like they are for reloading pistol ammo in large volumes hence the big hopper on the top for all the spent casings.
