What did you do today in the world of reloading?

Thanks. Been shooting for 20 years or so, and reloading for about 10 years. Just simple reloading for me, 9, 45, a little 40 for my son, and 223.

Moved to Anna Tx just over a month ago.

Still using the simple Lee classic in the pic, hoping to get into a progressive press once all the moving expenses are paid off.

Got my second CASE PRO 1000 set up (first one is in 38 Super) yesterday.

Got a smoking deal, has the "roller plates" for 9mm, 10mm/40, & 45acp.

Had to alter the set up a bit to allow use of Dillon Case Feeder on both...

Roll sized a 5 gallon bucket of 45acp brass yesterday.. about 90 minutes? A lot of this brass looked like the heads had been with a ROMAN SUN DIAL! (been fired a few dozen times with full snort ammo) LOL Really does a good job of ironing out the imperfections in the extractor groove area of the case.

Hey Denver,

Welcome to TGT!

Lots of fun to be had here!

Later, Mark

What little I've read about the .35x30-30 wildcat sounds great. Like a .35 Rem but you'll never run out of brass.

For the same reason I've looked at buying a 35 Whelen. As long as you can find 30-06 brass you can make 35 Whelen.

Well, yeah, but I'll never run out of .35 Rem brass, anyway. I won't live long enough to wear out all I have.

Smart man!

I've had the exact same thoughts, though the .338-06 also looks great.

Same here. 35 Remington was not a popular or really even known caliber in Tennessee, so when I would find it at gun shows or my favorite pawn shop I could usually pick it up for about $10 for a box of 20. I also picked up reloading days just in case I ever run out of the factory ammo LOL

Sized 6Br . Loaded some more 6Br and 6mm Creedmoor. Cleaned tumble brass and sizing after coming home from range
Good day

You guys convinced me that primers could be found, and as it turns out, Brownells had CCI 450s. Also ordered some Lapua brass.

Chrono’d some handloads in 308. Used a magneto speed sporter for the first time.My most accurate load also happened to be the best in velocity, es and sd. Fiocchi brass, cci 34, 44.2 gn IMR 4895, 175 smk.
2700 fps, ES-31, sd-11

Which rifle? Nice group

 

[smtimelevi]

It’s a Remington 700 sps Tac. 20” hvy barrel. Here is the initial group when I discovered it on load development.

 

[popper]

308W with proper sized 168gr PC'd cast. 40gr IMR 4895. Somehow my 310 sizer came up small. Or my alloy is softer.

 

[xdmikey]

I ordered two expansion plugs from NOE to go along with my Lee flair die setup.

 

[thescoutranch]

Ordered some missing caliber conversations parts for my square deal press

 

[smtimelevi]

Chronograph some 6.5 cm loads. Savage 10T 24”, MDT XRS Chassis. The best loads were 41.0 gr H4350 2700 fps and 42.2. Very low es, and sd’s. Groups were shit though. Maybe me having a bad day, maybe the magneto speed strapped to the barrel, bipod and bag setup weren’t great. Barrel not fully broken in. Who knows. Gona redo these and try again.

 

[deemus]

I shot about 100 through mine before I got serious about load development. I seem to remember there was some chatter about barrel break-in.

 

[Austinpilot69]

Knocked out the first 250 of 1k 9mm I’m doing, on a single stage I might add you. Just finished the last of my 115s, going to do the rest in 124gr. Might make a small dent in the HP38 I have after I’m done..

Right around 41 grains seems to be the magic number for 4350. May want to play with seating depth a little to see if you can tighten the groups up. This is a 5 shot group out of my Savage 6.5 CM that’s just over 1/4”. Hornady 140 grain BTHP, with 40.5 grains of IMR4350. I seated them at about .035 from the lands if I remember right. Averaged 2600 fps with a SD of 6.
