In my reloading room today- looked around and realized I need to find time to go shoot (ideally when it’s not 20 below outside) so I have something to reload. Seems like sometimes I’m reloading so I can shoot, and other times I’m shooting so I can reload. I don’t load much in the summer, so early in the winter is catch up time, but I’m all caught up with lots of winter left. Have one project to load for, but waiting on the barrel to show up.

Been busy around my place. Trying to find a load for the rokslide special 223 and got supplies in to work on 25cm. Just need a barrel for the cm
Nice I’m about to do the same. My barreled action is being spun at the smith now for a 25cm and I’m about to order my kiddo a RSS in compact and start loading for that!

Over the last couple of weeks I've loaded 200 each 40 S&W and 10mm. 70 308 w/Starline srp brass, 100 6.5 CM w/130 TMK. Wet tumbled a lot of brass in preparation of selling. All in the interest of move this spring. Also ordered a new .223 yesterday.

I have a large lot of Hornady 6.5 CM brass if anyone is interested.
Let me know how you like those 130tmks I may be making the switch to them in my 260

I have 100 rnds of 7-08 brass in the wet tumbler as I type.
I have 23 Hammer 132HHTs left. If I can't get them to tighten up this Friday, I'm giving up on them.

I gave up on Hammers a while ago. I have a 260 AI that will hold 1” 10 round groups with 147 ELDMs but shoots 3”+ with 129 Absolute Hammers.

Ive tried different powders, seating depths, neck interference and I just can’t get them to shoot.

Fire forming the old fashion way today with 7mm mag to 8mm/338.
i was give 22 7mm mag shells some factory but most reloads.
fire forming the factory loads as is but the reloads i will pull down and anneal first.
primers wereIMG_7349.jpegIMG_7350.jpegIMG_7351.jpegIMG_7352.jpeg backing out so pressure must be quite low.

Loaded pressure ladders with hammer HHTs for my 257 Rob improved and 7-08 improved. Hopefully it’ll warm up a little Monday to see how they shoot.

Tumbling 7mm-08, will load 10 to double check my range results from Friday with 3 shot ladders. I’m thinking I’ve finally found my hunting load. Just got in 400 primed Norma for the RSS pretty cheap so gonna load up 100 or so 77TMK for the kids.
