What did you do in the reloading room today?

Necked down 30 rounds of ADG 270 WSM brass for my 6.5 WSM. Initial observation is that the brass is much harder than either Hornady or Norma that I've already worked. I'm going to run a pressure test to see if the ADG brass has the same limits (66 grains) as the Hornady I've already fired. Also going to measure fired case capacity to see if there's a difference between ADG and Hornady.

I would be interested in the difference!!

Put this in the StaBall thread, but figured I'd share here as well.

Did my own temp stability test. 5 shots each set. Charges were double checked to +/- 0.01gr on a TRX-925 scale.

StaBall 6.5 - 147gr ELD-M - 43.0gr
Zero Degrees - 2681.7 AV, 36.6 ES, 12.4 SD
50 Degrees - 2687.4 AV, 33.4 ES, 13.2 SD
100 Degrees - 2695.7 AV, 26.9 ES, 8.8 SD

H4350 - 140gr Hybrid - 42.0gr
Zero Degrees - 2686.8 AV, 29.1 ES, 9.5 SD
50 Degrees - 2686.0 AV, 23.6 ES, 8.4 SD
100 Degrees - 2707.0 AV, 15.8 ED, 5.4 SD

Results:
StaBall 6.5 = 0.14 fps per degree.
H4350 = 0.20 fps per degree.

Holy ballz, what is your velocity going to be? Gotta be lazers.

Hornady manual shows a top end of 3,400 with H4350 I'm using.. Barrel is 20" so probably won't get there but should be plenty fast!

Lots of cleanup and organization. My son designed these racks for our cleaning supplies and printed them. Took about 10 hours each to print.
