What did you do in the reloading room today?

6.5 Creedmoor with some 130 ELD-M’s, 140 ELD-M’s, 143 ELD-X’s, and 140 RDF’s over top of some H4350. Then 6.5 PRC with 127 LRX’s and 130 CX’s over some H1000. Both rifles are Aero Solus actions with 24” barrels. Really hoping the ELD-X’s shoot great so I can run one load for medium sized game and NRL Hunter in the Creedmoor.

Did some prep work to fine tune the 6.5prc data.
- Fine tuned the sizer die to get the right shoulder bump.
- Tried a 288 bushing from SAC with a 262 mandrel.
- Tried a 289 bushing from SAC with a 263 mandrel.
- Tried a 288 bushing from Wilson and a 262 mandrel.

Worked on some 30-06 loads.
- Resized a bunch of brass for fouling the barrel and just general range ammo.
- Loaded some 165BT and played with seating depth.
Please post results from your bushing and mandrel testing. I’m very curious. Trying to decide on making the plunge into mandrel dies.

Of course waited until the last minute and loaded up some different loads with 180 gr. Accubonds and Partitions in my son's 300 WSM. I used H100V, IMR7828SSC, and H4831SC. Now we just have to get out and shoot it. Hopefully Friday.
