What did you do in the reloading room today?

[northernalpine]

New barrel came in for my 300WM
- installed and checked the headspace
- took measurements for (1) an improved load to replace the factory 200gr ELD-X and (2) Berger 215gr Hybrids
- knocked up a few dummy rounds to reference for ladder load testing the range tomorrow before I go into full production mode next weekend

R to L: factory Hornady load, new ELD-X load @.025 off, Berger 215 @.020 off

 

[Nykki]

Loading some 444 with 240gr cast swc. Then I will probably get into some 338wm.

I've been dinking around with some 308. Recently picked up a sig cross for my wife, and it's been a real treat developing a hunting load for it.

 

[Matt5266]

100 rounds of subsonic 147 grain 9mm for my new supressor.

 

[Jason Snyder]

100 rounds of Hornady 123 HPBT for my 6.5 CM.

Love me some 308!

I love shooting, and like to shoot alot. And I find the best way for me is sporting clays. It's a blast, I reloaded two cases of 20 gauge this morning. And will most likely repeat the process tomorrow morning. It's gotten to where, I hardly shoot my rifles, handguns much any more.

I’m a rifle shooter through and through but I sure like a good outing for clays. Never got into the shotgun reloading since I do it so infrequently.

In the past few days I’ve annealed, sized and loaded 50 rounds of 6 ARC, 50 rounds of 308 and 100 rounds of 6.5 Creedmoor. I finally got an AMP which takes care of consistent neck tension, shoulder bump and case life.

 

[Claybuster]

Sorted 3 months worth of 12ga hulls

That’s sweet. I have an annealeez that works ok but need a quality trimmer badly.

Highly recommend the Lyman Xpress trimmer. It’s what I use and makes trimming cases semi-enjoyable.

Tonight I necked down some .308 brass with my new Hornady 7-08 dies. Swapped out for the seating die and loaded up 3 rounds for pressure testing. COL WAS 2.810.

With 120 NBT and Varget, hit pressure (slight ejector mark) at 44 grains and significant ejector stamp at 44.5 and halted testing. 44 is .3 over Hornady max and 1 grain under Hodgdon max load data. Gonna test for pressure at 43.5 and hopefully load up 10 and see how they shoot.

Loving my Frankford Arsenal platinum case prep center.

Pretty much just lubed machinery, cleaned, straightened up and organized after a couple years of heavy action. 3 new AR's I built are getting a bit taxing. Fun as hell though.

 

[WestTN2288]

Most of the way formed 250 pieces of 6.5 Grendel to 22ARC. Going to anneal, wait for barrel to show up, and then size the rest of the way if needed

Is the nosler brass working for you

It’s running GREAT… but in the 6 ARC. Direct replacement from old loads, but seems a little more consistent than the Hornady brass I was running before

 

[retrieverman]

Over the last few days, I’ve been loading and testing turkey ammo for 12 ga and 20 ga.
I only took pictures of the 20 gauge stuff.

Didn’t realize you had both, or forgot. Which do you like better
