Yup. Picked up the casings from the guy at the next shooting station,
who said they weren't worth reloading again. Took a bunch to a friend's
house and tried out his press. Snazzy, eh? :) Good enough for snap
caps with rubber primers.

Such fabulous handiwork!

How did they get to be snap caps? Did you pull the bullets, dump the
powder, deprime them and replace the primer with some kind of HDPE or
something?
You probably should have drilled a hole or 2 in the case so you knew
they were dummies.

Such fabulous handiwork!

Yeah my compass deviates when he walks around with them all the way
down here ;)

So much for all of those rants about steel ammo.

I presume the guy I got the casings from at the range had reloaded them
with encased lead bullets, unless it is common practice to reload brass
casings with ferrous bullets. The bullets I snagged at my buddy's
reloading bench were non-ferrous. But, of course, you jumped to another
set of erroneous conclusions. I did note that some relatively cheap
"steel" ammo shot well out of a particular rifle.

Such fabulous handiwork!

They got to be snap caps because I put them together as snap caps from
empty casings I snagged at the range and bullets I snagged from a
buddy's reloading bench. Put them together without powder, and the
primers are little round circles of hard rubber I superglued in.

At the moment, I have nothing that shoots that round, and the snap caps
are living in a baggie in a drawer. I just put them together so I could
sort of see how it was done.

I am interested in getting a 7.62x39 firearm, but not a semi-auto rifle.

Such fabulous handiwork!

The bigger question is how did all this happen with the stay home and social distancing that's in place? And harry doesn't know which end of a press is the correct one, so his buddy didn't give him the run of his reloading shop.

Someone handed him the shells with the bullets pressed in and crimped and some rubber primer plugs, and told him to superglue them into the primer pockets. At best. He doesn't have a clue how to setup a die in a press.

Too funny.

Such fabulous handiwork!

Your reading comprehension isn't any better than Fretwell's. I'm not and
never have been an advocate of "steel" ammo. I did note that a couple of
rifles as demonstrated on videos seemed to shoot it well, and that it
was "cheap" to buy.

I don't shoot it in any of the firearms I own.

I guess you have to be a fifth grader and write at that level to be
understood by Trumpsters.

Such fabulous handiwork!

The steel ammo uses lead filled jackets. It is the jacket that is
steel, actually what they call bi-metal but it still sticks to a
magnet. I am not even sure you can buy steel bullets in the US unless
they are coming from the 3d world. For your purposes none of that
matters tho.
Good job.

Never saw a reloading press before? Strange for such a renowned

putting powder in there.

Never seen one operated. Told you many times, I have no interest in
reloading ammo. I did want to give it a mini-try, as it were. I bought
ammo before the recent TrumpCrisis, when it was cheap, and it is not
likely I will run out when the public ranges open again.

Such fabulous handiwork!

You think some "buddy" let him setup and use his press to push out the spent primer, neck size the case, then press and crimp the bullet in, all without ever seeing it done before? Ha, Ha. Ha!!!! Old weird harold wouldn't have a clue how to setup the dies!

His "buddy" gave him the shells with the bullets crimped in, and let him glue the rubber primers in himself. May have let him watch, but from across the room at at least 6 feet.

Such fabulous handiwork!

With a little more effort you too could be as smart as a fifth grader.
