What did you do in the reloading room today?

[Pickettpuncher]

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.

My AMP arrived the other day - took care of 100 pieces of ADG 338 RUM, 150 pieces of RP 338 RUM, and 100 pieces of Peterson 270 Win formed into 6.5 Sherman. It’s an awesome piece of equipment!

Resized and trimmed 60ish 8mm/338 mag cases.
still have @80 to shoot for the final forming that I loaded last year after necking up once fired 7 mag cases. I just shoot two at time to keep the barrel cool and winter is perfect for that. Using some pulled down Turk bullets for the forming shot under W748 since I have a lot of it.
surplus 4831 for the hunting load with a Speer 200 hot cor.

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

Not sure yet. Both are pretty consistent, so it will come down to whether one outlasts the other

Lead. If I can’t call a turkey within 25 yards, either I suck at calling, or it wasn’t meant to be.

Cleaning the 8mm/338 mag barrel today with bore tech eliminator before shooting and was fouled but didn’t get the borescope out right away but shot 8 times.
i did touch up the crown with a brass screw and JB.
First two shots went to the right. 9/16” group @100 yards. Next two under the target 3/8“ group off sand bags. Aiming at the top target.
scope (K3 Weaver with post) is sighted in for hunting ammo not the Turk 154 grain cupro nickel.

after JB bore paste near the muzzle ^

start of the rifling after JB but time for Hoppes #9 to get the carbon. ^



near the bore after bore tech cleaning.

Near the muzzle after bore tech. Clearly cupro nickel fouling.
i like bore tech eliminator but no match for cupro nickel in my rifl.

Man those are some of the clearest bore scope pics I’ve seen in a long time.

Hoppes didn’t get the carbon but Losso did…
not sure what year the 8mm barrel was but it is a WW 2 barrel.
The unknown Smith who built the rifle cleaned it up on a lathe.

Got my new MEC9000 up and running. Loaded 50 12 ga trap loads.

Next up is my 28 ga Sizemaster for quail loads.

 

[B_Reynolds_AK]

Rolled the first ammo that I've ever done and then ran them out to 1100 yards.

 

[TRD1911]

Just cleaned off my bench and organized. Been collecting junk and dust for around 6 months. Tommorow will be a day of just brass prep for some bulk ammo loading on my next day off

 

[Slick8]

Midway through brass prep for my 7 SAUM. Going to run a couple ladders with 155 Hammers very soon.

Have a new annealer and Frankford brass trimmer so a little learning along the way with some old brass.

Picked up a cup of spent primers off the floor. Always fun.

mounted this pawn shop find and made up a few .308 to test. Yep, 49 bucks with the seat die. Strange, this is my second identical hornady press from a pawn shop.

Between spent primers and powder kernels I can’t decide which is more fun!

Don't forget to add fine brass trimmings to the mix... I've been just kicking it all under the table for some time now. Gonna have to get the vacuum out one of these days!

I call it noisy carpet lightning.

Finished building my reloading bench and started to move stuff out of boxes and set up my press. Tonight I plan on resizing some 300prc and preparing for a ladder test with 215 Bergers and 196 Hammers with RL-26.

Ordered a RCBS Chargemaster Supreme because my old hornaday Lock n load took a dump on me.

That’s a good feeling!
