What did you do today in the world of reloading?

Let me guess.
The bench was wobbling?

Yeah but good enough.

Actually it was TSSR with their bouncy one piece bench. Like a deck, bench, and roof all in one. Little breeze or somebody racking their bolt and you feel it all.

Wish they had a prone shooting area.

That's my story and I am sticking to it.

You seem to do better with a wobbly bench.

I have put some nice groups together there.

Beginner's luck probably.

Annealed 300 pieces of 308 brass with my new toy!

How much did your new toy cost you?

I finished off the last of my 9mm brass loading some more powder coat bullets. I also realized I've got about 50 pounds of lead left and lots of powder... Im gonna need more brass!

ETA: this batch was green

$1100 with shipping and three caliber pilots. Expensive yes but I love I can anneal anywhere there is a plug! I compared my annealed Lapua to factory and they looked identical. I love that it is all programed so no guess on how long and it is fast. Annealing went from a pain in the butt to now I'll anneal after every shooting

So what would you charge to send you 100-150 rounds to anneal for me?

Holy crap!! I was expecting it to be pricey...but that's way out of my league. I guess I'll stick with my ol' propane torch.

I ordered a Giraud triway trimmer today.

It looks like I'll be playing for Team Blue soon. Buy once cry once right?

I felt the same way, even after I ordered it. Now using it was worth the money to me

Congrats! That will be fun.

9.3X74R........Hornady brass, Speer 270 gr. HCSS, Federal Lg Rifle primers and 53.0 grains of Varget......for my Ruger No.1

 

[ROGER4314]

I've been developing loads for the .458 Socom and .375 Socom (.300 Blackout, too) on the team for the local gun shop. We've worked together and tested many variations of the two calibers for many months, now. We used legal SBR's and silencer equipped rifles.

Friend Karen and I both favor our 45-70 rifles for piggie guns. She went to to shoot her Marlin yesterday with a box of 300 grain cartridges......At $46 per box! Reloading 45-70 will be at the top of her list!

The guys were pretty intrigued by the reloading, so two of them ordered Hornady starter kits and I'll teach them the "ropes" of reloading. We'll work on the reloading during slow times at the store. That's gonna be fun!

Just loaded up 100 of four different rounds of the .223 69g SMK's. I think I'll burn them up ASAP. If its not raining here, I plan on taking care of them tomorrow.

I finally got a bolt action .223 rifle. Shot a lot of rounds I made for my AR, but the bullets were way, way off the lands and my accuracy was in the 1.5 MOA range. I'm hoping these new rounds will be a lot better.

I'm still loving me some CFE223 for metering. That stuff is unbelievably consistent.

 

[orbitup]

I need to get some CFE223. I just ordered some 77gn bullets to try out.
