What did you do in the reloading room today?

[Harvey_NW]

Loaded up 40rds of 6.5 PRC to check zero and be ready for season!

Loaded up a quick pressure test in the 7mm-08 - 140 TGKs at a long ish 2.883 OAL, over 47.7 grains of H4350.

Loaded up 100 rounds of my go-to 260 Rem loads. Starline brass, CCI 200, 42.0 gr IMR 4350 with a 140 ELD-M seated at 2.825". Gets me 2690 fps out of a 21" barrel. Looking forward to see what they do on pronghorn in a couple weeks.

Processed 100 pieces of Alpha 22 CM tonight - going to load the 62 Gr ELDVT. 39 gr of Varget nets ~ 3650 out of my 22” barrel.

Was going to swap to the 69 TMK, but figured I’d keep loading the 62 for now.

Nice. The 69s hammer in my 223 I bet they will impress in that cm case

I load the 69s in my 223 as well. Definitely happy with their performance. It’ll be interesting to see what they can do in the 22 CM.

Loaded up a ladder for my 7 SAUM
N560 & Berger 168s

Also broke the casting on my RCBS benchtop primer. Fairly new too, less than 500 cases primed with it.

Loaded a batch of 50 7x57 - Norma brass, 45.5 grains of N555, 175 Hornady ELD-X, 3.235 OAL (yes, my rifle has a deeep throat, why do you ask?), CCI BR2 primers, neck sized in a Lee Collet die. 35 out of 50 came out with +/- .001 runout, the other 15 came out with approx .003-.005 runout (trash talk them Lee Collets all you want, nothing else I've ever used comes close in terms of runout). These are just 'stupid accurate' in my gun (tested again at the range today).

Also loaded a batch of 10 7mm-08, Norma 308 brass, 42 grains of Varget, 140 Sierra Tipped Game King/TGK/GameChanger, 2.8-ish OAL (I say "ish" because these 140 TGK's have a ton of variance - CBTO is +/- .003 or so, actual OAL varies by as much as .012), sized and seated with RCBS. Runout for 7 of them was under .005, the other 3 were over .010 (looked like bananas when I spun them in the runout gauge, LOL). Lee Collet die for 7mm-08 arrives today, we'll see if the next batch isn't closer to straight. Accuracy was only so-so at the range, but velocity was both good (2850) and near zero ES/SD.
