What did you do in the reloading room today?

About to start experimenting with the NAS3 cases.

I bought 20 round of loaded ammo so I could pull bullets and hopefully see what type of powder they are using.

Charge weight with 150 NBT bullets is 50.5 grains of unidentifiable powder. Looks like a flattened ball powder with either a copper removing agent or a temp stabilization agent. Has that tan/green color like Varget or H4895.

Factory ammo on left, reseated one on right. I pulled the 150 NBT with my RCBS collet die with about the same effort as a brass cased cartridge. The I ran it through my Redding bushing neck die with no issues, set final neck diameter with a mandrel then seated the 168ABLR with no perceivable additional effort above a typical brass cased cartridge.

Velocity data forthcoming.
 
Another 100 223 mixed cases I had primed now loaded with W748, Mag primer and a hornady 2270C 60 grain bullet.
Set the rock chucker up with the rcbs ram priming tool to prime more cases.
 
Loaded up some 135 SMK with n160 and some 140 TGK with RL23 for a 270 ladder test.

Also loaded a some 150 TTSX for my 30-06 to confirm some data and play with seating depth a little.
