What did you do in the reloading room today?

[waspocrew]

I made a lot of empty brass over the weekend. My parents keep mentioning how many prairie dogs are showing up on the ranch in places they don't want them (alfalfa fields, large grazing areas where they keep cattle, etc). I'm all for the challenge - basically went into extermination mode and brought my 22-250 AI and AR-15. I blew through nearly 100 rounds of 22-250 AI in no time, then moved on to the AR-15 for the remainder haha.

- Deprimed all the 22-250 AI, 223/556, and 6.5 Creed brass from the weekend.
- Annealed a bunch of brass
- Loaded up different charges of RL-26 with 140 Hybrids and 143 Bondstrikes for my 6.5 Creed.

Will probably just be focusing on my 6.5 Creed for the time being. I have about 6 weeks until I leave on a Dall sheep hunt and the Sig Cross will get to come along for the ride.

I rigged my 223 tikka for an upcoming PRS event.
Worked up a quick load to fit into tactical division rules. Wanted to load with thrown charges on the Dillon.

18” 223. KRG bravo. DD enticer. 4-16 atacr.
75gr ELDM
23.0gr 8208XBR
Fed GMM SRP.
Starline brass.
2.485” (max length in the MDT 12 round mags I had)

2770fps.
ES 12fps over 25 shots.
That will do nicely.
Stopped by Scheels on my way home, and picked up 8 more lbs of powder.
