What did you reload today?

[oremike]

Badman bullets are made in Lebanon and T&B are made in Sweet Home. Both are good bullets.

 

[Caveman Jim]

Got started on the WC's this afternoon and had to reset the die's to fit the wittle munchkin cases.
Took some time to adjust the flairing die due to the variances in case lengths, the the seating die was a no brained but the Lee factory crimp took some time to dial in with inert test cases of course.
And of course this caliber/bullet combination has a recipe for TiteGroup.
I'm lazy and loathe changing powders unless it's changing to rifle calibers.
The book calls for 2.6-3.3g so I went with 2.8g seated to the last grove then a mild/med crimp.
I loaded 24 test rounds for a pistol/rifle range day tomorrow.

I did not know that, another local business to support. I'm only 30 min away from T&B and Badman would be even closer to me in Lebanon. I'll check them out too.

In my opinion those are the ugliest bullets I have ever touched.
That being said I have loaded thousands of them. And shot a bunch of them Wednesday.
Make neat little holes in the target if I do my part.
3.1 grains of AA #2 gets about 2300 rounds per pound. Very economical.
But, butt ugly.

I like economical.

Agreed, almost seems that there is something missing with them, right?
I may try a couple of strings with bull's-eye along with A#2.
If yer shooting paper targets these are the shizzle, big ole holes that even the geriatric crowd can see without binoculars.

Hey! I resemble that remark!

 

[oremike]

I make a 44 Special full wad cutter load once in a while just because I can. They are popular with those that carry a snub nose 44 like a Charter Arms.

By the way? The shizzle? That's sounding like Snoop Dog? Cavemen don't know about that stuff?

Well the Mod squad does have the ban hammer so I better not cross that line like I did on the Taurus Armed forum, AGAIN.

I am definitely tettering on the edge if that happens. I did take several WorkSource workshops when I thought I was going to be transitioning into a new career and it made it abundantly clear to me how out of touch with the new social norms I am.
Or, how messed up the world has become.

Ouch!

 

[misterarman]

I guess I better get back on track.
More boring 9MM.
Using my new 650 and loving it. Makes me regret getting rid of my previous ones.
Be jumping over to my 750 soon to load some 357sig.

I agree. Looks like the caster left part of the bullet in the mold. But they do make nice clean cut holes in paper targets. Not the easiest to use with speed loaders, though.

I Cleaned the 40 S&W I annealed. I Had to rebuild my rotary wet tumbler, [the buckets finally wore out from all the use over the years]so the 22 lr brass is not done yet. I'll have to fire up my casting pot and start making a bunch of cores.

 

[NeoBlackdog]

The only thing I reloaded in the past two months is the bird feeder.

 

[Caveman Jim]

I think I found a good shooting load.
First one is the wadcutters, I shot low twice but the other ones hit their mark. Zoom in on the 2x4 just below the target.

The second pic is practice time with my 9mm load that I mass produced last year.

 

[oremike]

I'm finishing up an order of 38 Super and have 200 lbs of bullets arriving Monday. I'll start on the 45 Colt and then go from there.

I was shooting at 10 yards, my normal distance.
