What did you do in the reloading room today?

[7LRM]

I load another 50 rounds for my 7 PRc today.

 

[Byrdman]

Just cleaned a bunch of fired brass from load development and prepped some more to be ready to load

I proved again that my brother is much smarter than I am.

I loaded 20 156 EOL with R26 for his Tikka 6.5 PRC.






A wicked looking cartridge.

Not today but recently; cut 2" off the barrel, screwed on my first suppressor, and re-sighted in at 200 yards.

2 to get there, then 6

Hope you charged him Premium.

I finally got my bench set up. I was going to build one but 3/4 inch plywood was over $90 for a 4X8 sheet. Been waiting for the price to go down. My wife found this solid oak desk for $80. I know I could not even build anything this nice for that money.

Anyway, I've been prepping about 450 223/556 cases. Happy to be back at the reloading bench.

Small update on my Reloading Room/Shop

Time for an update. The ceiling and inner walls are sheathed on one side to allow for spray foam insulation on June 24th. 200 amp breaker box will be installed in the next two weeks and a 4 ton HVAC system along with the electric.

Things are coming along slowly, but nicely.

That’s going to be cool as hell when you finish

Yesterday I continued the slow process of loading 8mm/338 win cases and got 54 done.
Still have around 75 cases to fire form yet but those are loaded. No hurry though as i have a 110 loaded but 100 to go once the cases are all fire formed. Stopped fire forming cuz I didn’t want to scrub the cupra nickel out of the barrel again this year but Losso takes it out easily enough.
69 grains of Surplus 4831
CCI 250 primer
Speer 200 grain Hot Cor
Various brands of 7mm mag cases necked up.

I hurt my back on Saturday, so I decided to take it easy this weekend. I swapped the barrel on my daughter's Savage 110 from 243 win to 270 win. We had decided that she needed a little more knock down power for field hunting where shots could be 350+ yards. The 90 grain Hornady GMX worked great when she hunted the woods but her buck last year needed a couple follow up shots even though she double lunged it. Anyhow, today I loaded 20 rounds of 270 with Ramshot Hunter and Hornady 130 gr GMX. 6 different charges to try when I get a cool day and nothing else to do.

Loaded 80 rounds of 30/06. 8 different loads across three different bullets. 10 rounds per load to be fired as one group per load. We'll see if any show good consistency for further development.

Knockin out some 38 special tonight watching tv slow but it works.

Rolled up some rounds for barrel break-in and initial speed test on a new PRC rig.

Small updates

The stairs and HVAC are installed. Insulation is coming the 24th. I am installing the dust collection port today. Once the insulation is ready, I can begin planing lumber to sheath the reloading room walls and make the doors.

How did the N570 work for the PRC?

 

[Firestone]

Resized 500 pieces of 6bra and loaded up a few to verify zero and velocitys, quick check this morning and everything looks good

Tonight my son and I are going to anneal some 6.5 prc, 6mm fat rat, 223 and 204 brass.

How did the N570 work for the PRC?

I settled on 61.0gr of the N570 (not a compressed load). My jump is .005” (After two seating depth tests.) Speed settles in at 3130fps average with the 140gr bullet. Accuracy, a bit disappointing with the Bergara Premier…the best was .386”. But I have tempered my expectations with the factory offering.

I will continue to see if I can wring out some more accuracy.

EDIT: I revised my group by actually measuring it. And I think I will look into bedding the action.

What are you using to anneal?

 

[northernalpine]

Did pressure tests with 6.5PRC ADG brass with H1000 and N565 combos of F210M/F215M. Taking these guys out for accuracy test tomorrow and will crank a few hundred to last through summer/fall.
