What did you do in the reloading room today?

Swaged 223 mixed cases for an hour, plenty left to do.
Shoulder bursitis limits how much I can do before icing it.

Went to the range and shot a ladder today. Changed seating depth in increments of .003” and charge weights in increments of .05 gr.

I tease, just got a kick out of this target at the range the other day. I did however just finish another 500 round batch of 123 eldm for the grendel.

Loaded up 150 more 6 creeds for my PRS gun, then prepped and primmed 150 more pieces of 6 creed brass and 150 pieces of 223. Been shooting a lot lately, so trying to stay ahead of myself.

picked up a box of ELDMs off my shelf and wondered if I should work up a load with some H1000 for my 300wm. Then I continued to clean almost 50 years of carbon out of my 10/22....lol.
 
Took my 223 apart to send the action and bolt off for nitriding. Dug out all the pieces and parts for my heavy Tikka Dasher, donor rifle should be here next week so I have an action to put it back together to sell. Need to thin the herd a bit.

Shot the savage 110E 30.06 today. Playing with lengths & 3.18 opened up but could have been poor shooting but 3.15 works well. This rifle always liked deeper seated bullets.
Play with powder charges now as primers were backing out.
Data I was using must be lite cuz I was near max.
other data goes up to 48.5 & 50.5 instead of 45.9 max with 180’s. I was using 45.5 of W748.
Not using iMR 4350 which is great but faster load.
Trying slow things down for the short range woods shots.
@2500-2600 fps is enough. Soon as primers stop backing out I’ll call it good.
Loaded 3 more at 46.5 then 3 at 47.5 then 3 at 48.5
Worst case scenario I pulled down the hotter loads.
 
Anyone with a Murdoch’s store close they are having a sale of 15% off of all reloading supplies and tools. Picked up an 8.8lb of Varget for $351. Wish they had H4350 in stock at our store. Pretty good deal to grab primers, bullets, and powders!
