What did you do today in the world of reloading?

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

Wow - That is a round I've never heard of. That is one long son of a gun - and a boatload of powder.

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

The knock on it is that it is very temperature sensitive. It is a great powder for smaller calibers though - develops a lot of speed reasonably fast.

That's what I need for my short barrel.



Get your mind out of the gutter!

 

[orbitup]

Just got here.

Grats on the blue koolaid!

I loaded up 20x .223 70gr Barnes TSX over Varget for sight in and hopefully pig ventilation. Will load more when I have zero.

Just got here.

Oh wow, lucky

Today I trimmed 44 + 12 pieces of brass before one of my case holders for my Lee trimmer broke. I didn't even know that was possible. Apparently this one was aluminum and warped or something. Cases fall right out when I tighten it down now.

It took me all day. I can only seem to get about 15-20 done before my hands hurt.

I also noticed my Norma Jap cases use a #12 holder but the ppu Jap cases need a #2. Weird.

The lock cutter stud setup?

Much easier on the hands.

Got that going and have it chucked in my drill. My hands aren't as good as they used to be though.

Couple hundred 223 cut, turned, trimmed and chamfered for BO. Only another 500 or so to go.

I use a similar setup, but use one of those cheap white gloves with orange rubber on the palms and fingers to hold the cutter. I have trimmed a bunch of 300BO with that rig.

What does it hold?
3? 4?

 

[Moonpie]

Heck, I don't know. It's honking big. About 75 cases going now. Could put a lot more.
I bet it would hold 200 5.56 easy.
