Cat woke me up early wanting to be fed, So I had a cup of coffee, went into the garage and turned on the lead pot. While the lead was heating I primer ed 50 .38spl and then got out my .357 mold. By the time the wife got up I had cast (single block) 200 bullets with only about 10 rejects... Anyone that says they don't jump when the flux flares has better nerves than mine. I sized the bullets, then tumbled them in a plastic peanut butter jar with Alux. Soon as they dry, it's into the cases with 3 1/2 grs. of Bullseye.....Might get some sunshine and a chance to shoot some tomorrow.

i made about another 100 9mm.

[satchmodog]

heading to the garage to load some 45s right now. Knocked out some 9mm, 40 and six 44 mags today

[knot28]

Trimmed, champhered and primed about 75 last night, kids are about asleep so should be able to charge and finish tonight. Pancake breakfast at our club tomorrow so after I'm fed the BRD gets to eat a little.

I loaded up about 40 45acp's today!! Now I am OUT of bullets !! Deprimed some .223 boy dose that lanalon and alchole mix work Great as a case Lube

Over the last couple of days I got my new press set up. the Lee classic loader is working out pretty nice. Still waiting for the riser to show up for the pro auto disk that is needed so I can use there primming system. Last night and between chores today I have 170 45 ACP loaded. Hope to get 30 more loaded in the morning before I leave town for a couple of days.

Will try to post some pics soon

I cleaned, polished, re-sized, de-primed, and swaged about 500 .223 brass. After that, I loaded my first 22-250 rounds. 10, 52gr Nosler BTHP and 10, 50gr Combined Technology Ballistic Silvertips.

Then I went to try them out...man I hit the nail on the head with the Noslers. The Comb. Tech's need a little tweaking, but still shot very nice.

Tomorrow, I think I will clean my bench and load about 100 rounds of .223 and 20 more 22-250.

This reloading business is fun, but it is taking me away from the Armory!

[Lead_Farmer]

well reloading is part of the armory we just haunt you in your head when your reloading to make you feel guilty about leaving.

[DMViergever]

Last week one night I deprimed, prepped, sized and swagged 200 .223, primed then a couple nights ago and loaded about 50 last night. Getting ready to do the other 150 now. Then I have some 44 mag to do.

[helotaxi]

Headed out in a few to load some .204. I've found a nice region for the 50gn Bergers with BL-©2 and just need to tweak them a bit. This of course hinges on my ability to stay awake. Between the new baby and working on my Master's, I'm whooped.

[restorsguns]

I just got through cleaning around 15-18 hundred .40 cals. in prep for getting my Dillon 650, hopefully sometime this week. Tonite I will start seperating them by brand.

[bob72]

Tonight I am planing on doing a work up of 50gr for my 1/7!! I think I need to slow it down a little

[bob72]

Well loaded 30 rounds last night! 5 each of H335 starting at 23gr up to 25.5 grs under 50gr Rem bullets. Now I get to go out this week end and see witch shoots best out of my Del-Ton 16in 1/7 twist

Managed to get off high center yesterday after fighting computer issues for a few days. Puled out my fired 25 WSSM brass that I had used for breaking in the upper and some early accuracy/chrono data. Looked over the primers and did some measuring. So far it all looks good. Chamber on the rifle showed about 0.005 over SAAMI minimums so at least it won't be too picky on reloads. I had picked up an RCBS case Mic when I got the upper so it made measuring a snap for the head space. Velocity data was bit low on the 100 grain bullets but the 75 grainer's produced what the book said they would. I have a sneaking suspicion that I have one lot of BLC(2) that is a tad slow but I'll run it again to verify. Accuracy was OK but not stellar. More range time!!

I've got a new SPS 700 Remington Varmint that I got three years ago that has not been fired. I figured I'd do something "special" for it as it has beens o mistreated and ignored. Went rummaging in the garage and came up with 500 nickeled Federal once fired cases. Started sizing them back to zero size s I can fire form them in my chamber. I was sizing them on my 650 and must have got a little rambunctious because somehow the primer advancing lever on the primer plate got bent and was hanging up the system. Pulled that off and messed with it for a time. The material is hard as blazes and doesn't bend easily. Gave it my best shot and still no joy. Therefore it is off to Dillon today with primer system in hand to get a new actuator. Darn, I hate it when I have an excuse to go buy there!!

I figure I'll just load up some 55 grain FMJ's for break in in this barrel and then will try some 40 grain VMAX over a stout charge of AA2200, We worked up a sub 1/2 MOA load for my stepson two years ago on his SPS 223 that is a real screamer and devastating on PD's. He runs naked bullets but I have decided to go ahead and DANZAC the ones for this rifle. (Bullet Porn to follow)

After I wring this one out I think it will be on to the 243 700 that I picked up used. It might be a good candidate for a walking PD gun but I will also work up a good deer load for that outside possibility.

Last night every one went to bed on me so I ended up loading up some .45acp. 230gr fmj over 6.5gr Power Pistol. Will see how they work this weekend. I still need to test my .223 50gr and see wich charge works best so I will take the 1911's with me and give them a whirl also

[CRE10]

Of course Midway is sold out of dies for my new .38 and sold out of the Speer shot shell capsules I wanted to load up for snakes while fishing. Hope it doesn't take long for them to get here. Some great guys on the forum hooked me up with some .38special brass.

[Capn Jack]

Tumbled some range brass .223 last night and ordered a .459, 300gr RCBS mold from Midway.
I'm almost out of Bulls-Eye for the .38spl, but my brother has 12# of 700X that he says works just as well with almost the same load I'm using. I checked and it's within 1/10 of a grain....The target will never notice the differance.

The weather is drying and I might get a chance to break out the .458 Socom and work on some of my cast bullet loads.

i am 50-60 rounds away from a full ammo can just got done reloading 9mm.

[GLShooter]

Visited Dillon yesterday and got a new priming assembly for the 650.I had some issues with the case feed slide and told them about it. They INSISTED that I bring it in Saturday so they can fix what is not running per spec. NO charge for the $40.00 worth of priming set up parts.

Finished sizing the 500 223 cases and will start priming and loading them on Saturday. I'll use the Dillon 300 or a Lyman to put these together. Forty rounds ought to do it without issue so I can shoot 4 different loads for a blasting load selection for the FMJ's.

Well I didnt think I would get quite the results I got with this run! The 23gr load under the rem 50gr fmj turned out to be the best Nice thing about that is this is to be a CHEAP plinking load!!!
