What did you do in the reloading room today?

[49ereric]

Pan lubing 358429 Kieth bullets that were gifted me. I will crimp these just above the driving ban.

 

[BWSmith]

Bought these to eventually stamp a few custom barrels. Which I'll get to....

In the meantime, am practicing the craft stamping some specialty dies/swages/powder rotors that I make for cast bullet shenanigans. Previous sharpie marking on these wasn't hitting on much.... I can see why all the advice about practice is warranted. Am getting the hang of it.

Well, I think I've gotten to a point where I'm pretty happy with my USPSA pistol load in conjunction with my spring setup in my pistol after some final testing yesterday.

Also my Lock-out die arrived. Got it dialed in.

So its just full production mode now. Rattled off 300 earlier. I will probably run another 200-300 this evening.

I still haven't fully committed to what the new hunting rifle is going to be. But its probably going to be a 6.5 Creed. So, I will probably start gathering components next month for that.

Ended up doing 300 subsonic 9mm loads this weekend. Not a ton but im a single stage guy.... so just chipping away haha

 

[ResearchinStuff]

Less than I was hoping for. 150 6.5 Creed and a handful of 20 gauge.

Dropped H335 into some .223 LC brass for the AR. Putting together practice ammo for my 7 and 10 year old girls.

Look at the price my Grandpa paid for this pound…

Yeah, I’m just going to keep refilling this bottle with new H335 so I can look at the price and feel better about reloading .223 practice ammo..

Loaded a few hundred more rounds for PRS, NRL, and some 223s for my trainer. Shot up 400 rounds of 68 grain BTHP hornady bullets last week that I loaded and going back to 73 ELDMs for practice. Not pleased with the 68s over the few loads I tried and at distance the 73s seem better to me.

Who makes that folding ammo case? That’s nice.

 

[Austin Kaufman]

@RME It’s just one off Amazon for $20. I didn’t want to spend 80-150 on name brand ones and found these. Work great for PRS, NRL, or going to the range. Work well with 223 or up to the big stuff. Just search ammo novel.

What length barrel?

What length barrel?

26

I shoot the same 40.7 load in Hornady brass and a 24 inch at 2720.

 

[Austin Kaufman]

Loaded up another 50 77 TMKs for the 223, then loaded up 100 more 6 creeds with 108s for practice this week before PRS this weekend.

Deprimed and tumbled 100 rounds of 6.5 PRC from the last month of shooting. Plan to get them loaded back up this week, so I'll be stocked back up.

 

[MD97756]

Prepped 6mm creed brass

 

[Shug]

Installed a new trigger on my Savage B22, went straight out and shot two groups at 1/2 inch at 100yds. Not bad for a $300 plinker

 

[49ereric]

Made 6 357 mag snap caps with hot glue. Tumbled lubed bullets for a little extra lube. Try it and see how it goes or just slow em down.

 

[Austin Kaufman]

Loaded up some ammo for a PRS match this weekend. 6 creed, h4350, and 108 ELDMs.

I haven't loaded ammo in weeks, but tomorrow I’m planning to make some 140g ELDM rounds for my 6.5cm, I’m going to go up like .5g in powder to try and get some velocity. With 41.5g h4350 I’m getting ~ 2550fpa out of my 18” tikka.

 

[Castle Rock]

What brass, the common load between a few of us here locally is 42.5 with 147s with good case life in lapua brass(SRP), the LRP seem to require.5 less for the same results.
Velocity is about 2640-50 from tikkas ( 22-24 inch) and at least 50 fps faster in other barrels
