What did you do in the reloading room today?

[Pharmseller]

Loaded 200 more Kyle (75 gr ELDM and Benchmark).

Marmots are gonna die next month.

Finally decided to sort through my pile of 5.56 range brass I’ve picked up over the last year or so. Ended up just tossing it into piles of lake city and “other”.

Almost 900 pieces of Lake city now annealed, going to swage, size, etc.

Not today, but revamped my workspace in my garage over the weekend and moved my reloading setup out of my utility room. Added 20’ of work bench and lots of bright LED lighting

 

[Sinistram]

410gr Hornady SubX bullets over some IMR 4198 & IMR 3031 for the old Winchester 45-70.

Loading these as super sonics starting at about 1300 fps and worked my way up to about 1550fps which is where I want to top out at. Just following Hornadys published load data from the website. Gonna go shoot them this evening.

This is super cool. Can we talk about the 45-70 for a second? 150+ year old round that was a military cartridge, a black powder sporting and target cartridge, then a smokeless sporting and target cartridge, then a heavy loaded buster of a sporting cartridge, and now can be loaded with today's most modern propellants and bullets to be shot through suppressors!

Amazing!

my buddy bought a new Henry X in 44mag and after a trip to a local sporting goods store he sent me a pic of 240gr ammo 50ct box for $65 !!!! Over the last few days i loaded him 50 240gr xtp's over 22.5gr of H110, 50 200gr xtp's over 11gr of unique, and 50 240gr hard cast lead over 8gr of unique. i figure with bullets, primers and powder i might have $50 in it all and he gave me some cigars he brought back from the dominican republic id say thats a solid deal

It really is one of the most versatile cartridges! Especially for a handloader!

Loaded my first 25 Creedmoor round. Initial testing was easy and OAL was not finicky at all. Probably the easiest gun I have ever loaded for. 134 Eldms at 2884 FPS

damn!! those groups from your initial load development are awesome

 

[Tx_6UM]

Loaded up 90 rounds of new 6um brass for fire forming and realized how much of a bottleneck trickling every load by hand is. On top of that I somehow managed to bump my beam scale twice up by a grain. Caved and bought an fx120i and AutoTrickler out of frustration. Hoping the juice is worth the squeeze and that my wife is ok with me working some overtime

That group on the top right!!!

 

[Ramem7mm]

That group on the top right!!!

To qualify the target better the top right and left are only 2 shots. The rest were 5 shots.

Oh, well then I take it back. You suck!

Still, though. The hard part is picking the load from that impressive array. Any one of those is beyond superb for a hunting rifle. Nice work.

Loaded up (100) 260AI, 6.5CM (buddies gun, I feel gross now, lol) 6.5x47 Lapua, (50) 308 Win with Sig Fury Hybrid brass and (20) 338 NMI with 285 grain Warner Flatlines. We have an upcoming trip to NRA Whittington and have the 1 mile range set up.

Swaged a bunch of 556 brass - now on to finish processing.

 

[waspocrew]

Also tested out some loads yesterday. 300 BLK with 110 gr Varmageddon and N110 powder. This will do! 10 shots at 100 yards with the AR and a red dot.

Loading up another 300 rounds for it this afternoon.

 

[KyleR1985]

Loaded 40-50 rounds of virgin Peterson brass for 6 dasher Howa Mini.

16” barrel, 95tmk’s 87vmax’s 108eldm’s, Varget, and of course some lever.

Already know what the 95 and 87 do, looking forward to see what the 108’s do.

 

[Rugger7622]

I checked about 150, 6.5 saum primer pockets with a go/no gauge due to light seating pressure. About 80% of them failed! Originally shot with magnum primers, 4X!

 

[ridgeline]

Hit the range to run some Barnes 112gr Match Burners on 100 Meter paper and grab some Garmin chrono numbers ! Landed on 44gr H4831SC with an avg 2950 fps from it's 20" barrel... Fresh barrel is at 75 rounds now, time to mass produce.

If they don’t fall out you will be fine, the cup obturates to form a seal under pressure
