What did you reload today?

[Rudedog]

Excellent idea on the bin racks.

Excellent idea on the bin racks.

They're pretty nice, but easy to overload if you put too many bullets in them! I keep some of my nicer bullets (HP and such), primers, and brass all organized in them and they seem to do well

Photos?

That is crazy I literally just put one of those bin rack things together today too haha! It's actually a good little system for me so far.

I may end up reloading for .45 soon so appreciate the heads up on the powder

I'll report back on how it runs... I am hoping for a nice, pleasant, accurate target load. Not really concerned about power factor on this one, as long as it cycles reliably.

And yeah, that bin rack setup is nice. Now I just need one of those wooden HF benches so I can separate gun repair/maintenance from the reloading bench...

Yeah, I don't plan on keeping lead in them, but brass, primers, a few dies and all the odd automation bits from the APP.

First round of my newly set up Dillon Square Deal in 45 auto. Wow, much different than the Rock Chucker I've been using for 35+ years! Going to try and make time to set up the 750 today which will be for 9mm, 38 Special and .223. Square deal will be left for only 45.

Sacreledge, a single 45 ACP round in a tray ... that is akin to some sort of porn. LOL

I assure you, it was joined by many others soon after. I won't continue down the road you were going with this...

I loaded up a few more of the 40 S&W pictured above.

I also loaded up a bunch of 223 range brass I scrounged. I like free brass but I'm not a huge fan of all the work on the first go around. Full length sized, swaged, trimmed, de-burred, chamfered and primer pocket uniformed.

Some got 55 gr Vmax with Win 748 powder.




Some got 55 gr Nosler Ballistic Tip with Win 748 powder. Actually used up the last of my BT's. Never really found a load that I loved for them so I will stick with Vmax in the future.






Had a pretty good weekend. Loaded almost 120 rounds.

I made up some test loads with some 155gr Keith hollow points now to wait for a chance to test them.

Man, I'm pretty stoked about how those AA2 loads for .45ACP with the 200 grain pc wadcutters shot. The book numbers for minimum loads make major, so I just kept reducing, and the gun just kept running, and getting more accurate. Loving how this powder meters, even setting up the ladder loads was easier than usual. Got it down to 4.1 grains, could probably go lower. I have seen several posts as low as 3.1 on the forums, for target loads. Here's some porn for you weirdos.

 

[Mikej]

Mmm, yeah hoo-ha...Hubba Hubba....





Would you turn it on it's side for me now? Hmm?

 

[ageingstudent]

Seat it a little deeper...lord I appologize...

That's a fine looking SWC mister

 

[Rudedog]

Very interesting. I have been sorting brass for hours.

 

[ageingstudent]

200 .38 that look like this:



Because I took a young family of 3 shooting last weekend to show them the ropes and they got trigger happy. Now I'm decapping and cleaning and polishing 200 .357 cases. I need to switch my press over to .40 cal but everybody loves shooting all my old S&Ws so I keep having to crank on the .38s and .357s to keep up!

Look like .38 spl. I use 3.5 gr. of Bullseye in my Combat masterpiece. Jackrabbits fear my name.
