What did you do today in the world of reloading?

[ed308]

Move the Dillon to the side and setup a Hornady Classic Single Stage press. Then loaded 100 rounds of 270AR with 38.5 grs of CFE223, 6.5x47 Lupua brass, 115 gr Nosler Custom Comp bullets with CCI 41 primers. This round should get down range fast!

 

[Wyldman]

Prepped and loaded 300 rounds of 230 gr .45 acp so I can go play with my suppressed MechTech CCU next weekend.

Crush, kill, mangle, maim, destroy.

 

[Vaquero]

Found 400 Federal Small Magnum Pistol primers locally so I could work up some 357 magnum loads for a lever action Marlin, now have 100 rounds at 10 rounds per step of .2 grains starting at 10.2 with 158 grn XTP's for woking on hogs with. We'll see which it like the best.

Let us know how those bullets hold up at rifle velocities.
I didn't have good results on "test media". Around 1800 fps. If I recall correctly.

270AR you say? 6.5lapua brass you say??? I don't have either of those for my cartridge collection...

Any chance you want to part with 1 of each??

Hmm, sounds like a great reason to see if I can get hold of some ballistics gel or may just try it out on a hog.

I've been thinking about doing the knox "ballistics" gel mix. If you are going to do some real gel though please let me know, I would like to do some testing on some 300 blackout cast/powder coated subs that I'm hollow pointing.

It's wildcat that works in a AR15 and equal to .260 Remington factory ammo. You make the ammo with either .308 or 6.5x47 Lupua brass by necking the brass down or up. Lupua brass is the best to use. Just shot it for the first time. Impressed with the results.

I figured as much. But the question still stands, wanna part with one 6.5 brass and one 270AR for my collection?

I could send you a dozen or two 308 brass in exchange.



Here's the collection so far. I also have a 22auto rimfire not in the pictures

 

[ed308]

Sorry, not from my 6.5 Lupua brass. I have only 100 and everybody is out of that brass currently. But, if I form 270AR brass from .308, I send you one. Just not sure when I'll get around to it.

 

[Moonpie]

"Emptied" one hundred 9x19 and one hundred .32acp rounds. Heh.

 

[orbitup]

I loaded 250 45ACP last night on my Lee Turret. Ordered a roller arm today.

Loaded up my first 9mm rounds. I'll test those the first chance I get.

 

[Wyldman]

Got 200 rds of .32 ACP prepped and will drop powder and ball tomorrow. Mrs. W wants to air out her CZ 70 this weekend.

Crush, kill, mangle, maim, destroy.

 

[LFHenderson]

Loaded 300 rnds of 9 x 19 with Berry's 124grn pills.

 

[Charlie]

Nothing today .......... /////////////////////////////////////////////////////// yet! But I really need to get in there and separate a whole shitload of mixed brass!

 

[Moonpie]

Made up about eight pounds of tallow/beeswax lube.

Speaking of making things your own as much as possible....stumbled across this awesome channel of a youngin who is living off the land and even mining his own lead and materials for gunpowder.



Tons of great survival stuff on his channel though for sure.

Cody's Lab is fucking great!

Cody's Lab is fucking great!

Seriously I've been binging on alot of his videos lately. This kid is fucking brilliant. I have learned so much more about survival from him than all the survival guys that just show you how to be a hunter gatherer ^_^ Why make spears and run after your game and sleep in lean-toos when you can still keep making gun powder and bullets with nature.

 

[robertc1024]

I hand trimmed 100 rounds of .223 brass. Fingers are sore.

 

[Vaquero]

Dug through some boxes.
Found the brass I wanted.
