What did you do in the reloading room today?

[jjohnsonElknewbie]

All- I snuck out to the backyard 100 yard range to test 6.5 WSM MV and group with 68 grains of N565.

Below is the Athlon summary-
Avg MV- 3160
Min- 3144
Max- 3184
SD-12.7
ES-40

10 shot group was just under 1" at 100 yards, and for me this load is done.

Rolled 200 more Carlos. Almost halfway done.

6mm Day:
6 ARC - 105 BTHPS - 120 rounds using TAC and CFE - practice ammo.
243 Win - 108 Eldm's - 20 rounds using Staball 6.5. Looking for a temp stable hunting load. I started with Staball because it was the fastest temp stable powder I had in stock in Hornady's load data.

 

[Kooziehiker]

Purchased and started to read a classic - PO Ackley Handbook for shooters and reloaders.

 

[Pharmseller]

Done loading for my brother and his boy for our upcoming rat/marmot shoot.



Finished the last 400 rounds today. Carlos, 75 ELDM. They get to share a thousand rounds.

I need to load 400 more for me. My load is Kyle.

You are a good Uncle.

Pulled the STW barrel, bagged all my x fired brass, cleaned/boxed all the dies, put it all in a box so the wife can have a garage sale when I croak.
Put the 7Prc barrel back on and re zeroed the scope from it's STW days. Time for 600 and 1,000.

You are a good Uncle.

I get a kick out of providing the ammo that smokes a marmot at 500 yards.

My brother killed a bull last year at 612 yards using my handloads. That’s a good feeling.

I need a replacement for Reloder 26 and 162 ELDX for our 7mm Rem Mags. I haven’t heard about StaBall HD for that application.

Just started reloading for first time today. My kid learned last summer and got most of the tools needed. I bought the benches and components. Reloaded my first rounds today. Case prepped some once shot brass and ran them all the way thru on a pet load my kid has worked up.

Was a ton of fun to load and learn something new. Now I have a problem. Not gonna have much free time….

It only gets worse I’m afraid my dude.

I’m going to try Ramshot Grand after good results in a 270wsm. Once I get bored with this 6.5PRC barrel I will spin a fresh 2025 tikka 7rem mag barrel on and sling some 162’s

Hell even whacking yotes with handloads is satisfying!

Yeah, but standing directly behind your brother, watching the trace from the bullet as it arcs into a bull, is really cool.

Yes sir! Can only imagine at this point.

 

[waspocrew]

Loaded up some 6 ARC with Lever and 70 gr Nosler BTs for my gas gun. The 87 VMax go about 2850, so I think I should be close to 3k or better.

Also working up some 38 special for my Marlin lever action. Just need to shoot them over a chrono to see what ends up being subsonic out of my 16” barrel. Once I have that figured out, I’ll do some bulk loading.

 

[49ereric]

Sized 200 357 mag Norma brass.

 

[49ereric]

Sized 300 more 357 mag Norma brass so now 600 to prime & load, slowly…

 

[Nutkin13]

Sized and tumbled some 7mm-08 brass, baby steps

 

[Sinistram]

Finishing up Bulk handgun loading for the coming nice weather. Loaded 400 of my 44 Magnum practice rounds. Tomorrow is another 350 45 Colt rounds. That ought to get me through!
