What did you do today in the world of reloading?

[rp-]

Damn. I bet those were screaming.

Im not actually sure what the velocity was on those. Its been years since i loaded for him. I did shoot a 460 Weatherby magnum once. That probably actually moved faster and might actually use 84gr of powder as well. Im gonna a have to look at that just out of curiosity.

Out of everything I've ever shot that was among the most unenjoyable rifles ever. It was a ruger Alaskan of something. Real light weight. Imagine a 50 caliber but light enough it could be a pellet rifle. After three rounds I'd had my fun and I passed it off to someone else. It was also about $5 bucks a round in 15 years ago pricing.

Ordered 3000 small pistol primers. I have been remiss in building up a supply.

It appears 22 reloads on this batch of brass is the max limit.

Hmmm... I was thinking maybe those were the new .45 super extra short...

It started life a smidge longer than it’s current state.

Ordered dies and shell holders in 45 ACP, 10 mm, and 45-70. I am slowly acquiring equipment and consumables as my budget allows.

The new Hornfedwin .45 Super Carry

 

[AmphibSailor]

Picked up some primers and powder at Bass Pro. Was able to get a brick of CCI LRP (BR2). Paid out the wazoo, though.

Found some 10 gauge rifled slugs. 550 gr. Loaded them up in solid brass cases in front of 106 gr. CTG black powder. 1/8" over powder card, 1/2" lubed fiber wad, another 1/8" card then the lubed slug. Topped with an over shot card sealed with waterglass.

Just ordered an new bullet mold for the 50-140 Sharps. 600 gr. with a gas check.
Maybe I can bang the gong at 1000 yds!

I think that would be a tough one. I imagine that bullet is going to drop like a rainbow after a few hundred yards.

I did just have an interesting conversation with a guy about making slugs with hot glue. Wonder how those would work in that 10ga.

Lol...just got to arc that rainbow a little bit more!
As far as slugs out of hot glue? Not sure how that would work...I have heard of filling the cavity with hot glue to keep the wad from getting stuck in the void....but not sure if that is a real problem.

We started talking about hot glue bullets in a 9mm with a magnum primer and no powder to shoot each other with. That graduated to 12ga slugs with just a primer and eventually wondering what it would do to a person with a full powder charge behind it.

Edit to add: we are not doing this and I in no way condone trying this. Just a couple guys at work talking trash.

Ok. I think I understand. Like a less than lethal round/ rubber bullet idea. I doubt the hot glue would hold together upon leaving the barrel.

Sorry, I just re-read the post. First I would distance myself from idiots that want to "shoot at each other". They should have their weapons removed.
People like that give the rest of us a bad name.

You have to make sure you test your brass after you do a couple, you don’t want to do a big batch and find out you either have to do it again or you have loose pockets.
I don’t have anything to compare it to as I used to rim the crimps before . I would say it’s better than removing material from the case.
