The "What Have You Reloaded Today" thread

I got loaded on Monday night, and I'm in the process of getting loaded again.
So should I consider myself re-loaded?

Sorry. It had to be said.
I waited 10 pages for someone else to say it, but everyone was being so serious :wave:
 


Paper patched .303B rounds. Started as .309" 200gr cast, PP'ed up to .317" or so. Trying them in a Martini-Enfield with a terribly worn bore; slugs around .316".

I know the wraps don't line up; this was more of a hail mary attempt to get the rifle to shoot before looking at having it rebarreled. I'll do the tweaking later if there's any promise. In the past I've found poorly wrapped bullets to still work but not shoot as well. If they don't keyhole, I'll be happy.

I have no idea what any of this means but the picture is cool as hell. Looks like half a game of kickass checkers :)
 
Did 150 .308 for precision rifle and 100 45-70 for plinking.

Will do a few hundred .45LC today since I already have the 650 set up for large primers before going back to cranking out 9mms and .40s for the winter season
 
Took my temporary reloading set up apart today and packed it away for the move next weekend.
Can't wait till we get into the new place and get to start building wreck room/gun room and reloading room.
A blank canvas and I will bet about 2/3 of the basement all to myself. Look out Home Depot and bring on the sales.

great idea.
 
Doing some load development for a "new to me" M700 chambered in 7mm Remington Magnum. [1973 build, looks like new]
This rifle has a relatively short throat for a R700.

160 Accubonds with Norma MRP....loaded 64, 65, 66 & 67 grains. Will see where that takes me.
My Chronograph will tell me if I can safely shoot the top loads or not.

Regards, Dave.
