What did you reload today?

[HighlandLofts]

I loaded up a bunch of 38spl, 357mag, 44spl and 44mag over the past few days for todays shoot up in Darrington.
I will get it all reloaded again for next weekend. I need to load up a bunch.of 223 for my grandson to shoot now he is shooting a AR. He sure can go through the ammunition.

 

[SHPD_Retired]

500 rounds of 9mm 124 grain. Had a bunch of brass all primed and ready to go so I spent a little time out in the shop.

Ten days ago a friend and I loaded up 1100 rounds of .223
Since then it's been slow, but I managed to get a few ready to shoot today.
I had two partial boxes of HDY XTP bullets and loaded some 90 grain into .380acp, and 110grain into .38 special.
Did the .38's on the single stage & had a good time

Finally decided to break out my 90gr Sierra Matchkings for the .224 Valkyrie and venture into uncharted waters. Did a lot of exploring with the .224 69gr pills so feeling like it's time to look to the horizon. I'm excited about sending these down range.

A little bit of 9mm got made up today.

Got in a shipment earlier today.
Loaded 200 this morning, plan to do another 300 after dinner.

Resized and swaged 2500 5.56 and resized and belled 1000 .45 ACP. Ran them all through my wet tumbler … boy do they look pretty!

 

[Throckmorton]

.45 colt ammo for the cowboy match guns. 200 grain cast boolit, rnfp. 5.6 gr. Trail Boss for the hand guns, a few tenths more for the '66 carbine.

Well, our first ever revolver match is in the books … it was a very fun day. Perfect weather and a very gracious range. We had no misses and no DQ's! (We won't talk about the time penalties for wide hits and overall scores though!)

So yesterday evening I decapped all the .38 Special we shot (about 450 rounds between us) along with another 400 or so waiting to be worked on. Then into the wet tumbler. Dried overnight and this morning resized and belled. They are now ready to load up for the next match (we are hooked). Perhaps that will actually happen today as I have about 500 bullets left from a bag of 1000. You can't have an open bag of bullets lying around, they might spill or something … right?

Where was the match ? I used to live up that way, former Wolverton gc board member.

It was the ICORE match at Wolverton, put on by Greg Ostrander. It was the first time to the range. It's a nice little facility with even nicer people! My boys and I are hooked on ICORE and we will be trying a Speed Challenge there soon.

 

[DLS]

Sized / decapped another 2500 .223 last night and and will work them through the tumbler this evening.

Man I wish I had a progressive!!!

At least the .223 doesn't need swaging.

What Did I Reload Today ?
My muzzle loader....Over and over again.

 

[Helocat]

Knocked out 1000 9mm early this AM before work. 165gn FMJ-RN Subsonics. Laying in 5k of them before I switch over to 9mm 115gn FMJ-RN Suppers in the same quantity.

 

[HighlandLofts]

I seperated about sixty pounds of range brass. Now when i find some extra time I will clean it up and get it preped.

 

[old11bravo]

Baked up my first run of home rolled 223 tonight.

Put together 100 rounds of 223 with some Vihtavuori N140 I recently acquired and topped with 77gr Sierra Matchking HPBT projectiles. Seated the SMK's for a 2.25 COL with 25 each at 21.5gr, 21.7gr, 22.0gr and 22.3gr of the N140.

Now............ to crimp, or not to crimp, that is the question.

some 44 , revolver fun time

 

[WillametteWill]

Oh I'm too tired...I saw the image of the 44's and was wondering why there was a picture of a pile of lipstick!

Upon closer inspection...they look nice.

 

[JO JO]

What 9 mm bullets and powder charge are you cranking? Have you used these bullets before?
I tried some coated 9mm bullets and the jackets are so thin they shaved off seating some of the bullets.

Missed this post.

I use the following depending on who has the best prices per bullet.

Acme Bullets
Eggleston Bullets
Blue Bullets

All are plastic coated.

The best are probably a toss between Acme and Blue. Eggleston has a thinner coating but can be less expensive at times.

The key is using your expanding die correctly. This is crucial in ensuring that you don't strip any of the coating as you seat.

I've been through 10s of thousands of these types of bullets thus far and have had great results.
