What did you do in the reloading room today?

What charge did you start with?

 

[hoooogan]

Did up a 7RM ladder to go along with my 6.5CM selection for this weekend. 175gr ABLR, 0.040" jump, H1000, Norma Brass, 215M. Just looking for velocity and pressure.

 

[Telford29]

Loaded up another 100 77 tmks.

Spent some time laying out some reloading projects to pass time post neck surgery this winter. Sucks, I shoot a lot more in the winter than I do in the summer, so not only am I not got to be shooting, I’m not going to have much going on on the bench either.

Here is what I came up with. There is not much published data that I could find for this combo. It seems that most people settle somewhere between 25-26gr. I will post my results, but please proceed at your own risk.

Those sure are pretty!!

Spent way too much time trying to get 180 hybrids and H1000 to shoot out of a new 7prc.
It just doesn't repeat. Even at 20 off the lands, boattail is way ahead of the junction. Seems odd as it should be a SAAMI chamber.

Gave up and loaded 195's and N570. Pressure at 72gr. Boattail is in same position as my 7STW, just above the neck radius. Will load some around 69 and see if it repeats.

.280 Mandrel? Hell yeah, brother. Good to see another robust loader out there, none of that sissy thousandth stuff, lol. That ladder looks like that load is gonna shoot lights out! Keep us posted with results, I'll be doing some 7 PRC testing myself this winter.

 

[Darren_8167]

This was a nice surprise today. Grabbed the last two bricks of these guys. I had to double check the price.
And then found CCI 200 & CCI 400 for $5.99 each! Couldn’t pass them up.

What is everybody's favorite .223 varmint recipe for gas guns? Mine are neglected back in a corner as they've always kinda been more of a SHTF part of my collection. However, based on my own misgivings and thoughts posted here, rather than spending components developing varmint loads in my 25-284 or 7-08, I'm thinking of reinvesting in the black rifles.

Would be tough to beat a 22ARC eld-vt for a dedicated gasser varmint banger

Damn, I’d be happy with even double those prices. A Brick of those WLR primers is $150 Canuck bucks up here.

Thats an awesome price! Where did you find them for that deal?

 

[Snowwolfe]

Purchased two S&W 500 revolvers last month so spent a few hours today prepping new Starline brass to be reloaded. Ran it thru the resizer, then expander the necks, cleaned up the primer pockets with a cutting tool, then primed. All ready to load when I decide what the load will be.

I live in Northern California. The Winchester’s are from a small mom and pop gun store in Paradise, Ca. The CCI’s were on sale at Sportsman’s Warehouse in Chico, Ca.

Last night, I loaded up ten 6 mm ARC cartridges with 75g Tipped Hammer Hunter bullets for an upcoming hunt.

I am interested in your results. My next build will be a 6mm. The ARC is on the short list. I will more than likely be shooting Hammers out of it here in California.
