What did you do in the reloading room today?

[Torque]

I prepped 100 virgin Peterson cases for loading.
I expanded the necks to push the imperfections to the outside, turned the necks to .014 , expanded and uniformed the flash holes, resized the cases with an SAC sizing die with .283 bushing (sets the neck tension to .002), chamfered/deburred, and finally pin tumbled the cases to clean. I got 15 120g Partitions loaded over 6.5 Staball (44.5-45.5g) to test.

Loaded hornady discontinued bullet #2275 60 gr hp, 748, mag primer.
4 different lengths for testing.

308 subs and 28 nosler brass prepped ready to load just need more time!

 

[NWBLKTAIL]

Loaded the rest of my 1x fired Starline 7mm08 brass with 162eldm and Staball 6.5.

83 fresh ones ready to shoot.

Shot some 6.5 loads today, liked what I was seeing with the 100gr ttsx at 47.7 gr of h4350. Going to mess with seating depth to tighten the group up a bit. Ended up trimming and prepping 75 6.5cm cases and then worked up a ladder for a 130tsx in 300sav starting at 42.4gr of w748 and increasing each round by .3gr. Heading out of town for the weekend but I'm curious to see how the copper monos shoot out of the old lever gun.

I annealed 70 7mm rem mag cases and 50 243 cases on a home made turntable I made. Super cheap, little AC motor on a reostat with a coffee can drum. works amazing.

What twist barrel are you using with the 223 and Berger 85.5? And what altitude are you at? Thanks!

1:8 has been spinning them good for me. Running them at 2550-2650 fps depending on the load. I’m between 4000-5000 ft elevation.

I loaded up another 700 or so rounds of 9mm today. Pretty well stocked up for the beginning of USPSA season at this point.

Which is good. As my attention will turn to my new 6.5 creed later this week once my shell plate arrives for the lee 6000 press.

Not sure how the pro 6000 will handle loading the creed.....

Thanks, I’m at 800-900’ so concerned about an 8 twist being fast enough.

Worth a shot but you might run into some issues. I just got into the 85.5s recently and have really enjoyed them. I shoot a ton of 73 ELDM and 77 TMKs and have just slowly tinkered with new bullets.

Shot some 223 Speer #4705 yesterday and settled on a length. Also shot hornady #2275 and settled on a length. Loaded 50 223 hornady #2275 tonight with W748 & mag primer.

 

[CMcCormick1805]

Put together a dummy round for 7mm PRC loaded with a 152 LRX. I’m going to try 50 thou jump and start my ladder from there.

 

[Matt5266]

Loaded up the last 130 rounds of 9mm subs that I had components ready for. Now im over the 9mm so time to switch to loading something else to mix it up
