It's plinking ammo for my Norc Cqa and it cycles perfectly in it. This 5 shot group was shot by my wife at 50M.

It's plinking ammo for my Norc Cqa and it cycles perfectly in it. This 5 shot group was shot by my wife at 50M.
I reloaded 20 rounds of 110gr 7.62x51 in Noveske brass with IMR 4895. We will see if they run OK in the Modern Hunter. They were originally 110gr but I believe they were nosler varmageddon projectiles. Trying to duplicate the factory loading.

I run the same for my 308. Nothing else compares
Loaded up another 300rnds of 124gr Campros behind 4.1gr of TiteGroup.
Pulled 14rnds 9mm, one 40SW rnds that I picked up from the range yesterday while cleaning up after an IPSC match up in Alliston. About three of them had WAY WAY too much crimp on them and on one of them, someone has been reloading with a Lee bullet seating die and has the roll crimp turned down WAY too much so that the case mouth is starting to roll over. Dunno who's ammo it was but if you happen to have shot the L2 match at Alliston this past weekend and you're reloading with Lee dies, you might want to back off your crimp on your bullet seating die.

Found 75 loaded rounds of 9mm at the range mixed in with the empty brass. They had good jacketed hollow point bullets, so I spent a little while pulling bullets today.
And then loaded 100 rounds of 30-06 for the Garands.

Today - 250 rounds of 9mm and 60 rounds of 6.5 Creedmoor
I also prepped up 100 pieces of 223 (deprimed/cleaned/lubed/resized/trimmed/primed) ready for loading when my 62gr pills show up, then its off to the range with my new SL8

been kinda out of it for a while, but in the last few days I have fully prepped about 150 8x57 brass. ready to load, all done. Also about that same number, maybe a bit more in 7.5x55 Swiss for the K31. And about 150-200 in .223. Still have to do about 100 more in .223 but is getting close.
Brass prep is a bit of a slog, but its worth it to know you did all of that yourself. crimped primer pockets, dirty crap, stuck cases, even a broken resizing ball/decapper rod.
but, every case is decapped, polished, primer pockets normalized for depth and width, flash holes checked, sized, measured, chamfered inside and out and primed.
no, I haven't gone to annealing, turning necks etc, not there in my shooting, nor do I have the equipment or skills to need it.
lots of recipes to try out, lots of powder and projectiles to use.
And, I owe it all to you guys on here, some of you in person too. thanks!

Loaded up 150 rounds of .223 60gr soft points over 24 gr of H4895 and burned through about 300 with my two kids on the AR on Sunday. I'm going to have to work hard loading to keep up with these kids!
