Fingers crossed. I hear this is a challenging rifle/caliber to work up a load for. That's part of the fun though in my opinion.

I put a box of factory PPU through it so far. Once I figure out where to hold, it printed a 5" grouping at 50 yards. Having said that, I was at the tail end of my box when I found it where it was shooting.Poi was about 3 ft high at 50 yards lol.

I have since grabbed 20 boxes of ppu factory ammo to burn up for the brass.

.35 Whelen rounds for my Remington 7400 made brass by running .30-06 brass thru full length resizing die works fine for me.

I loaded just over a case (300) of 12 ga...Rem STS..7/8 oz loads for skeet ..W209, CB 7/8 oz wads..21 gr of WST ..book velocity of 1325 and only 8200 PSI !! Nice load, very comfortable to shoot in my 625 !

I'm about to start in on a few hundred rounds each of 90 grain's .223, and 168 308's for the match rifles.
Maybe load some long range 145 LRX's for the 280 as well.

Just picked up a BSA royal in 243. Loading up some 87gr vmax and 100gr hornady interlocks to try the ol girl out. Very cool firearm

 

[iron cat]

Started on a 5 gallon pail of 223 brass. Sorted by manufacturer. Decapped, resized, trimmed to length, etc. My hands hurt. I broke down and bought a power trimmer. - dan

7mm-08 for my daughter and 223 for my Savage 25. My daughter has the Vanguard Camilla, what a great rifle. That thing shoots everything really well. Great rifle and cartridge.

I've been on a casting and powder coating and paper patching binge as of late, .366's ,and 45's in several different weights both greasers and slicks.
I only powder coat in clear, but a friend uses a bunch of different colors .

[PPCLI-Jim]

Did a bunch of cast 30.30 for a friend, now it's my turn. primed a bunch of RWS brass for my CG 63.

 

[hunters home]

Just loaded a few different loads for my 6mm ppc. Hope they work out.

PC'ed? what velocity for match loads?

 

[dan belisle]

Finished some testing, and now have a great load for the 22-243 Middlestead. Only problem is it uses RL19. I guess when I run out of that I'll start over. Sigh. - dan

Nope I don't powder coat my .223 match bullets, I was making ammo with 90 grain Bergers !

my bad, I read your posts in reverse order

todays project was annealing/massaging/priming 200 Sako brass for a .308
ready to test some Fiochi primers

80gr Sierra sbt blitz with 44gr Superformance for my 243. 3200ft/sec ish. Haven't tried this one yet. Hoping it's a keeper. My ol BSA seems to throw everything well so I'm hopeful.
Also loaded 37gr varget with the same bullet. 3000ish. Could probably push this one faster but it's a laser out of my 243 already so may leave it.
Cheers
