Knucky McPolack 28 Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 (edited) Big thanks Captain Baylor for a great tip using a cookie sheet under your reloading presses to catch spilt shot, primers, etc. in this months The Cowboy Chronicle. I can not tell you how many times I spilt shot all over the place. I went out and installed one on my Spolar after reading. RL 1100 is next. Thanks Captain.

Eyesa Horg 1,810 Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 Me three!! I hardly ever dropped much with my MEC 600jr. except what gets thru the charge bar. Now using a Grabber--- well lets just say sometimes I spend more time picking up shot & powder than loading. Think I will go with a cookie sheet soon as well. DON'T EVER FORGET TO PUT THE LITTLE RED CAPS BACK ON THE SHOT/POWDER BOTTLES. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Rainmaker, SASS #11631 1,007 Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 Haha, I get some powder blow-by, especially from my Lee Loader using Clean Shot and my Lee powder measure using anything with small grains. I just clean it up as best I can and dump it into a waste powder can. But them dang primers comin outta my 550... they go everywhere, even with the chute AND the "guards". I find em everywhere! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sedalia Dave 14,365 Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 When done pour everything into another cookie sheet. Elevate one end a couple inches and use a soft bristle brush to sweep the powder to the elevated end. Shot will roll back down hill 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cheyenne Ranger, 48747L 3,611 Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 I use one under my powder coating mesh trays. same idea just different powder works great Quote Link to post Share on other sites
blazeafar SASS # 6750 32 Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 I took this idea a step further, I use an alum. roasting pan about 1.5" to 2" deep and dump 25 empty hulls to be loaded into the pan. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
