The "What Have You Reloaded Today" thread

I just loaded up my seating depth trial for my 2506.

120gr Speer SPBT
52.7 gr IMR 4955
Hornady Brass
Fed 210 primers
Tikka T3 with a Vortex 4x12 viper.

Also just sized and deprived, tumbled and annealed some Norma bras for my new Tikka T3 in 270WSM.

Looking to load some 150gr ABLR over a healthy dose of Retumbo.
 
Loaded some .308Win for testing ( soon as the snow goes).
Berger 155.5 Full Bore Target.
Lapua .308win brass run through a small base die.(tight chamber)
CCI Large Rifle BR primers
5 of each.
42.0,42.5,43.0,43.5,44.0,44.5,45.0gr IMR4064.
2.895 COAL
 
100rds of cheap and cheerful 223 for 100m practice.

55gr Hornady FMJ
23gr H335
Federal SR primers
Remington 1x fired brass

Feels weird using a powder measure and not weighing every charge....
 
Spend 3 hours on Skype today supervising my dad learning how to reload for his 270wsm . We did 2 dummies first to set the die and see if everything was chambering than we loaded 5 round . Hopefully tomorrow he shot them and everything will be ok and the group good
 
I am in the process of processing 20,000 rounds of brass as well as loading it.. I am picky and take the extra step to de prime before cleaning. I am loading at a pace of 500 rounds a day. The weather has been really bad and I have been load developing so I have only been shooting 300 rounds a week. I'm gaining ground at least until the weather improves.
 
The landowner tells me that the gophers are out in force, so I loaded another 100 rounds of 17 hornet. You sure don't use much powder at 9.5gr per round.
 
.45-70 rounds for my Ruger No.1 -

Finally made the jump from a RCBS Rockchucker to a Dillon 550. The whole time I loaded up my first 100 rounds of 9mm you could not swipe the smile off my face. Sooo much easier, after 15 minutes I am like, I'm done? 100 rounds of 124 gr Campro's with 3.9 gr of Titegroup and 100 rounds of 147 gr Campro's to compare, 3.2 gr Titegroup. Now off to test the result.
 
Finally made time to do some loading for my Baikal 45-70 double rifle. Had the rifle regulated half decent a few years back, but then tried some heavy cast gas checked, as well as heavy hard cast. All of which gave me vertical dispersion between the barrels, while each barrel shot them all quite accurately. So am back to loading some lighter bullets, which have a better reputation for regulating well in the Baikal. Hoping to get it really dialed in.

Made 6 each of the following, all using Rel7.

250gr monoflex, with 43 and 45 gr.

325gr fix, with 41, 43, and 45gr

350gr Hardcast, with 43 and 45gr.
 
And so it begins....Didn't actually load any rounds but did anneal most of my .308 Lapua cases (except to a few hundred rounds still loaded from last year). I don't really know how many cases I annealed but it worked out to 69 lbs of brass. Time to start resizing.
 
Did up 150 rounds of 38sp with 160gr lead RN to use up some DuPont PB. Still waiting to pickup the model 14 they are meant for.

Tried making about 25 38-55 using 375Win dies. Didn't work cuz the crimp in the seating die is narrower than the .379 bullets. Picked up new dies at the gunshow today.
 
Picked up 500 pieces of .35 cal Rem Core-Lokt 200 grain SP's awhile back and tried a few in my M77 .358 Carbine... they are incredibly accurate in this rifle... so I am loading up 100 of them this morning for bear season.

Also, loading 100 - 405 grain hard cast to feed my B-78 45/70... will carry this one in the thickets.

Reloaded 60rnds of X-Reload 125gr (actually 123gr pills after weight sorting) for my G22's 40-9 Lone Wolf barrel. Gonna try and Chrony these.

Twenty rnds each of 3.6gr Titegroup, 3.8gr Titegroup and 4.0gr Titegroup at 1.06" COAL. Man, that was an 45min of butt f'kn frustration. Each one had to be individualy measured and then sorted into two groups ie rounds under 1.062" and those over and then readjust the seating die to bring the longer ones down to at least 1.062". I had pills seating anywhere from 1.049" to 1.079" COAL.
