What did you do today in the world of reloading?

[GP40X]

I loaded a 50 round ladder yesterday to see what load is best for my snubbie. Went to the range today and found my practice ammo load.

Loaded my first 5 rounds of .9mm.

Currently priming some 9mm brass...

I found about 120 40cal brass so I cast and coated enough bullets for them and setup the press to run them. Might run them tomorrow if the garage isn't too cold.

So, 5 rounds of .9mm makes .45mm total? Just 95 more to get to 9.0mm!

Loaded some 45 Colt. Had to knock off the lube of course. Sometimes you cant help but giggle at scale!

I thought they changed that cartridge name to 45CZ.

Re-tooling to .30-06 this week.

So far:
Yesterday tumbled 200 pieces of inspected brass for about 8 hours and will do another 200 tonight.
Started the decapping and annealing process last night, and I am about halfway through the first batch.

Tonight
Finish decapping and annealing 400+; then start full-length sizing each of them since these are range pick-up pieces. Will trim these to length by this Friday, and toss them into the tumbler again with Nu Finish for reloading on Saturday morning.

This Weekend
Planning on loading 100 of these cases with 150-grain FMJ with 42 grains of IMR 4895 for my M1 Garand.
The other 300 will be put together with 19 BHN 235-grain (powder coated) cast bullets (no GC) over 44 grains of IMR 4350 for range plinking and form-fitting to my Savage 111.

Sat at the bench dreaming I had some powder to load up some 22 Hornets. Thought I did but I don’t. Oh well maybe in a month or two

Been processing 45ACP, separated by large and small primer. Tumble, deprime, and sized. Had a few dated cases in this bunch and thought, “What are the oldest cases that others are still using?”

No mention of Lil Gun?

Not familiar with that and none of my books have it listed. I left out several others do to supply and demand.

Lil Gun is kinda magic in the .22 Hornet, especially with heavier bullets. For example, you mentioned H110. With 50-grain and up bullets, Lil Gun will produce max load velocities at least 300 fps faster with less pressure than H110. With the lightest bullets out there, H110 will beat Lil Gun but never by much. If you need a powder for .22 Hornet and you can try some Lil Gun, I suggest you give it a chance.

I did not do anything today. Nor this week in general. I think it was Saturday when I sat in the near-freezing shed and was cleaning and de-priming about 300 .45 cases while a heater was blowing luke-warm air at me. But once we got down to 20s, I vowed not to return to the shed until it gets "a little" warmer. No way I'm gonna put any extra load on the electrical grid with heaters in this bad situation anyway.
But once we warm up some and return to normal, I'll be loading a few boxes of .45.
