What did you reload today?

[JJE76]

Loaded 400 rounds 45 acp on my new to me Dillon 550. 230 gr Xtreme with 6.4 gr CFE pistol, shoots tighter then factory fmj.

 

[Caveman Jim]

No loading but prepping about 1,500 9mm, sorted by head stamps, kept the WIN & put the rest into the sell bucket.

Look what snuck in.

I loaded up some 204 Ruger test rounds. Win 748, Rem 7.5 primers and 39 Sierra Blitz King. I got a good deal on the bullets a while ago and can't seem to find the exact load that I want to use for them. I think I have tried this powder charge before but haven't kept good enough notes.


Should have tested them today because it was a really nice day here in Eastern Oregon but let the time get away from me. Maybe tomorrow but I am sure the wind will be blowing 50+ with my luck.

The elusive 9mm-.40

The elusive 9mm-.40

Yep, I found 50 at the pit, I wonder if they even realized what they had done?

Perhaps trying to fireform .41ae brass

Loaded up 100 rounds of AR ammo with the "Jake Wilcox" load:
69 gr RMR 3G bullet, 24.6 gr of TAC, RP 7 1/2 primer, LC cases.
Also started care prepping another 200 cases of .223. Loaded 200 rounds of 9mm the other day, all with RMR 124 gr MPR (pre-nuke), 50 with Titegroup, 50 with 5.0 gr True Blue and 100 with 5.6 gr of True Blue, all primed with CCI-500 primers. The Dillon RL-550B sure is quicker for the 9mm compared to the good old RCBS Rockchucker for the .223.

Caveman loves those RMR 69g 3GH bullets. They work well with 23g of H-322 in my 20 inch ballistic advantage AR build that I did this winter. Ringing steel at 185 yards.
I also have some Sierra 69g HPBT–match bullets loaded, I'm working on the OAL for this load.
Looking to go further this summer.

Finished 350, 45 ACP today.

 

[Newberg]

Loaded up 200rnds of 100grn Berry's RnHB 380acp with some Winchester 244.

These were pulled projectiles I picked up for 3.5 cents each delivered. So far, well worth it.

H-322 is one of the few powders I have yet to try in the .223 Rem. Another is AR-Comp, which I finally have a pound of, but am afraid to try it for fear of it performing really well, and then not being able to acquire any more of it. I guess H-322 could be the same issue. I guess that is why I settled on TAC. First, because it was a lot cheaper than the more established powders, then because it worked so well, and finally because I have been able to order 8 pound kegs of it for decent prices pretty much whenever I have needed to. These days, that is probably the most important factor.

 

[Caveman Jim]

I had a few pounds of H-322, liked the results and like you was able to get an 8 jug. I still have a few pounds left but have been doing a lot more pistol loading lately, need more Titegroup now!!!

Just when I thought that I had my Lee M1000 progressive press all sorted out. Yeah.......my son tells me that it's, "BROKEN". Apparently, he tried to "fix it" too.

So early this morning, I went into the garage to see what the problem was. Hummmm......it was in parts. BUT, But, but......there is that question of the now, "missing parts".

Kids.

Aloha, Mark

No no no….. kids away from loading bench. I'd be scared and I just have a single stage. Haaaaa. Especially early morning. I don't know if they really respect me and my stuff in garage or if they're scared. Either way….. not gonna happen.

 

[Caveman Jim]

More brass prep. 9mm this time. So Purty!!!

 

[NobullSKS]

Maybe dumb question……

Loose…easy primer install. Time for new brass?

I didn't keep track on how many reloads I've done on these…. Maybe 4-5-6
I'm already pretty set on only one more firing…… with loose primer pockets….. because I can't really take them out and reuse in another case.


EDIT….
As I move through these and run out of Winchester primers and switch to Federal and CCI….. I don't have the problem anymore.
I've checked all rims are still under SAAMI….. is it the primers? I guess, so far.
