The "What Have You Reloaded Today" thread

Just finished 60 rds of 8x57 topped with really old Ideal 321297 made boolits.That fodder goes into Gew 88 hence 323 sized boolits.
 
Made some .260 Rem cases from some 1x fired .243 brass a few days ago for a project that Guntech is working on for me...then hit the Calgary gun show Saturday and snagged 100 pcs of new Lapua .260 brass for $90!! Score!

Loaded up 9 rounds last night, 3 each at 40gr, 41gr and 42gr of H4350 under 120gr TTSX.
 
Finished 50 rounds of 8mm Lebel revolver with 116gr cast NEI bullets over 3gr of Unique. Any less and the cases don't seal and even then there are grains of unburned powder remaining.

Yesterday cast a pot of .457" balls and today a pot and a half of .490". Badly need more pure soft lead.
 
40 .30 Herrett AR for my Troy PAR. A Range day this weekend to try out the Hornady 110 and 26.0 gns of I4198.

I cast some 500gr gas-checked FP's for my .500 Jeffery. I went to check for fit and the bullets were jamming in the lands. I had to mill .003" off the nose diameter. Looks like Blasers have virtually no freebore.


 
necked up some once fired Nosler 30-06 brass to 338-06 this afternoon, and this evening I made a few test loads for a new-to-me Tikka 22-250 with Barnes 50gr Varminators and W748 powder

Nice, that's a beast! What sort of velocities are we talking?
 
I decided my powder shelf was too full so I loaded some 470 Nitro Express.........that gets rid of powder containers in a hurry. 500gn Woodleigh with 110 gns of IMR 4831 behind it lit with a fed 215. Load 100 rds and get rid of the better part of 2 lbs of powder.
I also found 200 primed 357 Mag cases in a bucket and just happened to have a couple boxes of Horn 140gn XTPs. So between the 470 and 357, I was able to open up some room on my bullet shelf as well.
I made up some test loads for my 25-06 with 110 gn ABs and some new RL 23, we'll see if I can get that damn 25-06 to shoot yet......
Now I'll have to order some more bullets.........wherever I can find them.
 
50 rounds of 325 WSM Win cases, 200 AB, WLRM, 63.5 grains of IMR 4350
15 rounds of 8mm Rem Mag, 220 Woodleighs, Fed 215, R-P cases, 83 grains of Reloder 26.
15 rounds of 8mm Rem Mag, 220 A-Frames, CCI 250, R-P cases, 82.5 grains of Reloder 26.
