What did you do in the reloading room today?

[FLShooter293]

Loaded up some 300 WSM rounds with Badlands 150 BD2’s. I usually have great results with H4350 in the short mag but I wasn’t happy with extreme spread and groups at 200 yds. Decided to try a faster powder and loaded up some rounds with Varget because I’m running an 18” Proof barrel. Initial results at the starting loads are extremely promising. Excellent groups and low extreme spreads. Speed only got up to 3065 but there is plenty of room under max load so I’m confident I can get them up over 3150. Just loaded another 30 rounds up to book max

Loaded 50 rds of .30-06 with 150 Hornady SP. After several months of loading .223 those cases seem huge!

Looked at my 6.5 PRC reloading equipment which always reminds I don't have a 6.5 PRC yet.
LOL

Pressure tested some 162 ELDX for the 7-08 over SB 6.5. Gonna load up 20 today and see how they shoot.

Did you every test these? My 7mm08 X Bolt that seems to shoot just about everything really good, shot 162s over SB 6.5 into a 4 inch group at 100 yards.

I have 20 loaded and ready to test. Hopefully this week.

I shot 20- 150 Fusions over 48.5 gr SB 6.5 a couple days ago and got great results.

Checked/set zero with first 2 groups (bottom middle- .5 mils right, top right- .1 mils right) and then shot 14 to establish cone (top middle).

Sized, trimmed, chamfer/deburr, and primed 150 pieces of 338 RUM.

Brass prep is a pain.

I bought an all-in one case prep center from Frankfort Arsenal and it takes a lot of the headache out.

One of those type of things is in my near future for sure

This is the one I bought.

I know Hornady and RCBS both sell all in one case prep centers as well.

Seems they have really upped their game from the products they used to sell. Looks like a nice piece of kit!

Loaded up some 7 PRC rounds with H1000 and 175 gr ABLR to test this weekend. Plus cleaning guns from this past weekend and cleaning more brass and getting it ready for the next cycle.

 

[jjohnsonElknewbie]

Loaded up some 25-284 rounds with H1000 and 134 ELDMs for pressure testing. Hoping to test pressure today and roll 20 later to see how they shoot.

Good to see this thread. I'm digging all my gear out as it's been locked up for 2 weeks of grand children visits.

I have 50 rounds and 338 Edge to prep then start running some ladder test. I ran these 50 for fun to well season everything with a mild load and 300 SMK's. Very impressive results for plinking rounds. Really excited to run a ladder on some 300 Bergers and 265 Lasers.

Take a look at the Lyman version. I have used it for years. It makes prep so much faster.

 

[Tx270WT]

Pulled out brass and perused data for my first ladder I’m going to try in the new 300 wby

I'm waiting on a 6.5 PRC to arrive for our moose hunt. I'm planning to send a 147gr ELD.

I picked up H1000 and N565 to try right off the rip.

Loaded the N565 a few days ago and set up some H1000 tonight:

I have these set up for when it gets here to find pressure w/ 1ea of both powders at 56-56.5-57-57.5-58-58.5 and 59 @ 2.955 OAL.
