What did you do today in the world of reloading?

[SQLGeek]

I looked at the primed 357 brass on my bench and remembered that I was going to load them once upon a time. There’s probably about $57 worth of primers sitting there.

Bought 14k primers off Craigslist. Federal NOS,,,, 5k SP 4K SR, 3K LP, 2K LRM. No I'm not selling any.

Nice score! How much for them?


I stopped at bass pro today and checked for primers but they didn't have any. Better luck next time.

Just 1 kidney or both?

Didn't even require a good piss...

You know Craigslist has a thing about gun stuff. I know they don't watch it too much though. See lots of reloading gear.

Unfortunately I just came across a screen shot of someone on this website selling 5k of primers for $900. Wonder if that listing is still posted..

I'm aware of that. I found the ad a few minutes after it had been posted and called him Abt 2 hours later they were in my hands.

Reloading gear is fine, just no bullets, etc...

Haven’t reloaded in a while, and closing on the house in 2 weeks. I loathe packing my reloading stuff.

I got out and shot some 223 and 9 reloads yesterday. Decided to look over some chronograph data and the damn battery crapped out. Of course not a single 9v to be found. From what I did see I'm pretty sure I have some 115gr xtps going about 1250fps through a 5" gun. Which matches Wilson combats +p load with the same bullet.

Needs chronograph.

 

[TexMex247]

Well the data is there. Even as the display was fading it was recording shots. I had 2 loads over 4.45 and 4.7gr titegroup. I could barely make out the numbers as I was wrapping up those 2 ten shot strings but I'm confident it's all recorded.

I had to run them short to ensure they would chamber in a cz75 as well as sig xfull, x five and and GP xcalibur. At 1.075" I thought I was ok since I was a touch under max. All brass looked fine. I also shot my older SD load with golden sabers(124gr) which have a much smoother recoil impulse at 4.3gr. Those may even group better than the XTPs.

Sadly they discontinued the classic golden sabers and now only load the black belt version which I couldn't find for sale anywhere as a projectile. I guess I load my last 150 or so and hope I never need to use them.

Loaded up 40 rounds of 6.5 creedmoor with Hornady 147 grain ELD Match bullets, and Superformance powder.

Got my Chrono data...

115gr xtp 4.45+/- .05 gr titegroup

1198 fps SD 5

115gr xtp 4.7 gr titegroup

1249 fps SD 3

The second load is a keeper. It shot tight and ran 2 pistols perfectly. Also may be the lowest SD I've ever had in a handgun load, especially across 10 rounds. I feel confident to pump out a few hundred now. Even going to use some new starline nickel cases I recently bought from another TGT member. I guess that's a post for another day.

Been at home with the Rona for a week now quarantined to my bed. Today I went out to the garage and sorted through some stuff and weighed a bunch of bullets to make sure there's no hidden surprises. Still not loading anything though. Too hot out there.

Academy 75 in Plano has SR and SP primers.

 

[TexMex247]

Well I can't edit my last post but I typoed that chronograph data and the loads were at 4.35+/-.05 and 4.55 gr titegroup. 4.7 is getting hot. Just wanted to put out a follow up.
