New test loads for my new 243 A-Bolt, 95 grainers...and my sons 308 A-Bolt....165 grainers. 40 rounds for each caliber....10 different loads...they'll serve as a break in for each gun...and some good load data to boot !!
I cast and loaded a handful of 595gr gas-checked spire points for testing in my .500 Jeffery. Velocity should be in the 1950fps range.
I can almost feel the shoulder blades gritting as I look at those missiles !! They look a little top heavy....lol

Just finished off a batch of 500 .357 mag with plated copper 158 gr flat point bullets. First time i'm trying these bullets. Propelled by an ancient lot of 4227 sold by XL powders. Looking to get 1500 fps from my Rossi carbine. Should be deadly on tin cans.
Finally finished my 45ACP reloading project!
After extensive load development for my JR Carbine, I went with 3 different loads/bullet weights. 185 grain XTP, 200 grain XTP, and 230 grain Hornady XTP's. Took a couple of days, but it is now finished. All loaded on a Rcbs Rock Chucker single stage press. Thank god for the Rcbs automatic powder dispenser!

Just picked up a box of small magnum pistol primers. Gotta reload some .357 magnums for a hunting trip to Tennessee next month.

Did 1000 rounds of 9mm yesterday, and 700 rounds of 45acp this morning. The Lee Pro1000 keeps cranking them out.

That must be soooo satisfying!!!
Load testing some 165 accubonds in my 30-06 M70 Winchester EW, propelled by IMR 4895. 21 round, 3 each at half grain increments. Not the best or fastest choice of powder but I usually have it on hand and it should be good for most weather.

Finished up 50 45-70 with Lee 480gr over 65gr of ffg goex and a 0.060 cork wad. Ran low on good bullets and had to make the last 6 with bullets that had voids in the base as fouling rounds.
Starting cleaning about 800 cases of my father's bpcr so I can start trying to figure out what he was loading when he died. No notes to go from....
