The "What Have You Reloaded Today" thread

Yesterday 100 338 win neck sized and primed. Was shooting 185 gr Barnes but I'm going to see what happens with some 210's and 225's.
Neck sized and primed 150 257 wby.
Wishing I could find some 25-06 brass lol
 
Had some degree of success with 58/62 RB and three 000 buckshot at 12 yards. Using full and extra full choke in a 10 gauge BP shotgun.

The 10 gauge shotgun with Imp-Mod/Skeet 2 was absolutely dismal at 12 and 25 yards. Just about the same results with full/xtra full at this same distance.

However to get some better/tighter pattern at 12 yards, I had to squeeze card board shim around the larger RB and crazy glue the smaller buckshot to the base of the RB.

Hardly inspiring and this ridiculous amount of hand loading work for marginal results.

I'm thinking I would be better off with 00 buckshot & buffering material. Less work for better patterns at 20-25 yards.

just info
 
Finally got my 243 back together so I decided to finish off my old 70gr BT's to get rid of them and break in the new barrel.

.223 rounds of 53gn, 63gn, and 77gn projectiles + Varget in 0.2 gn intervals across published load ranges; all for chronographing. Will go with the exact same combo in AR Comp powder for comparison.

61 rounds of 338 Win mag, 50 rounds with virgin Winchester brass, 11 with once fired federal brass. The 11 once fired were loaded with 225 gr Barnes Xs, 69 gr of AA 4350 Over CCI LRM primers. 25 of the Win brass were loaded with 225 gr Hornady SSTs, 69 gr of AA 4350 over CCI primers and the other 25 with 200 gr Hornady interlocks, 71 gr of AA4350 over the CCI primers. I also have 20 rounds of 225 gr Federal fusions and 20 rounds of Federal premium loaded with Bear Claws. Looking forward to seeing what shoots best in my antique (1964) LH custom Savage.
 
Another 300 x 45ACP tonight(pic shows half of it). My 550B has been working very hard and cranked up 1000 round each in 9 & 40, tomorrow will finish 45ACP in 1000. next up are 357mag/44spl/44mag. The goal is to load up 1000 rounds each before getting warm outside.

 
50 match rounds of 41.7 4064, 175 SMK @ 2.840". 4/5 shots grouped under a inch at 300 yards, pulled the 5th opened group up to 2.7". But DAMN am I ever impressed, I was seeing bullet trace and impacts on paper!

gotta load another 100 before friday..

650 rounds of 124 grain Berry's RN 9mm over 4.5 grains of w-231. That's it for plated. Now I've got to start casting.

Used a Lee Auto Drum powder measure on the Loadmaster. Really sweet setup.
 
couple hundred 45-70s. 405 HP & solids. 46gr. 3031 cci 200. For marlin 95. use same bullet & powder in my Ruger#3 but 50gr. Tried reloader 7 with 405s but I was not happy. Not sure what to go with next. 525 cast in #3 but will keep away from max as this gun kicks :)
 
Loaded up some more 243 rounds.

Going to try Varget with the 95gr TMK's. Got 33.9, 34.2, 34.5, 34.8, 35.1, 35.4 and a couple of 35.6 for pressure signs. Also made 8x 34.5 for sighters.
