What did you do in the reloading room today?

[JasonWi]

FL sized, trimmed, chamfered, deburred, cleaned primer pockets on all my 1x fired 7RM brass.

Fire forming the “poor man’s magnum” 8mm/338 cases today that were made from 7 mm Remington magnum cases.
I have another 50 cases to shoot with 154 grain Turk bullets out of a little over 200 cases. Whoever ends up with this rifle after I am gone, will at least have ammo for this wildcat.

This is a unique chambering. What bullets and powder do you typically hunt with? I’m sure this is a very lethal combination

The old timer I bought the rifle from long ago used a 236 grain Herters bullet for his Colorado elk hunts. I am using a 200 grain spear hot/cor for deer hunting but all I got is a dog in the woods so far the last couple years.
Powder is surplus 4831 and older CCI primers that came with the rifle.

Loaded up some 444 Marlin, plinking rounds. 33gr IMR 4198 behind Acme 240gr cast.swc, trying to keep them below 1600fps. I'll take it to the range tomorrow.
Cleaned and sorted 300 pieces of 243 brass.
