Finished Large 40 S&W Run

[washagonian]

Today I finished my large run of 40 S&W.

Believe it or not, there are 1157 cartridges in that 50 cal ammo box.

Total run, including the 608 rounds I cranked out last week - 1,765.

Between that and the 9mm I just loaded a couple of weeks ago - I should be set for the winter.

Next project is deconstructing about 400 rounds of 357 handholds I picked up for free, salvaging the components and then reloading.

Cheers.

How do you like that win 244? I appreciate your load tag. Nice looking rounds.

Nice job. Churnin and burnin.
In a few days I'm gonna have me an Ammo Plant.

It meters like Titegroup and load weights are almost identical. Shoots the same. Hard to tell if it is really cleaner (as it is touted to be). It's versatile - there's load data for most major handgun cartridges. It's available when other powders aren't. Just a good, general, plinking powder.

I dunno, buddy. A whole lot of those look pretty sketchy and likely to blow up your firearm. You could take an eye out!!

Tell ya what. Go ahead and bring them on over. I'll do a "rapid disassembly" on them for ya and send the brass back for a redo.

No charge as long as you promise to pay the favor forward. I'm just nice like that.

Nice, I to like to keep a 50 cal can full of ammo per caliber that I shoot. I also use a lot of W-244. Two thumbs up from me.

Oh noooo. Please say it ain't so. I'll be right over with 500 rounds for you to test.

Rapid disassembly - is that one of those new Dillon press jobs? Or is it more of a CZ/Glock/Beretta design? Just wonderin'.

Nothing so barbaric. Kahr K40... easy on the brass and I wouldn't want to make more work for you.

That would be fun. I love Kahr triggers. Unless you've shot one, you don't understand.

Yup! At least the older models... built like a swiss watch. Full metal tames the 40 recoil and drives tacks like a mother.

How many rounds of .40 rounds do you got?
