What did you do in the reloading room today?

Primed 300 more 223 mixed cases over the last couple of days here and there.
2-300 more to go…

Still trying to find a decent load for my bergara b14 carbon in 7mm prc. This has been quite the journey getting this rifle to shoot well.

I used to have a Harrells combo press which is different than the press they sell now but has the same clamp. I think they're best with custom dies or just light sizing in general because the clamp isn't all that robust. I haven't used the Sinclair but I see them alot at BR matches but you're limited to 308 length cases. The Summit is the most versatile obviously.

At the range I've used arbor presses, Harrells combo, Rockchucker, and currently been using an RCBS Partner for a number of years now and it's by far my favorite of those four. It's a light duty press but robust enough for doing what I need at the range while light enough to easily move around. The Rockchucker works fine but it's noticeably heavier to carry around. I don't know the weight of the Summit but I'm guessing it's similar to a Rockchucker give or take so I'm thinking it's probably not the most convenient thing to haul arouond. For me though, I have a lot of hand dies and there's an arbor press conversion for the Summit so it could be a one press for everything even if it's less than ideal wieghtwise.

I have my Summit bolted down so haven't moved it around in a while. But its pretty dang heavy. I want to say its about a pound or so heavier than the rock chucker. I guess one could look to see if weights or shipping weight is listed anywhere.

Does anyone else use this thread just to remember what they did last week at the bench?

Loaded up 53 rounds of Nosler 150GR ABLR for the 6.5 PRC with 54.5grs of H4831.
COAL: 2.956
CBTO: 2.338

Below is a photo of how this load shot for me this past weekend (group 5) right at about a half inch.

Going to fire form the rest of this brass and see if these SD's and ES's settle down a bit and re-shoot groups 3-5.

Have a match coming up this next weekend, looks like I'll be shooting two different bullets with ES's in the 50s. At least I'll have an excuse for when I miss! Lol.
