The "What Have You Reloaded Today" thread

Just started some 9mm Luger for the first time. Specs are: cci 500 primer 4.3 gn of IMR target with 124 Hornady XTP at 1.065 oal. Hopefully all goes well burn rate on imr target is fairly high and had trouble of determining oal between 1.065 or 1.150 and there was no loading data available for Hornady XTP 124gn, any ideas on this load is appreciated.

22 rounds of 7mm Rem SAUM.
It's all I got as prepped brass with the rifle, once I fire this it will be the same as the other 28. Just copied the previous owners load with 4831SC under a 168 Berger VLD Hunting.

For now thinking this should make a nice hunting rifle, once I run out of brass I'll swap in a 300WSM barrel I've got that looks identical to this one.

Between yesterday and today, 200 rounds of 7.62 x 25 for my TT33.

5.2 to 5.3gr Unique, under a Berry's 110gr bullet.

Kind of amusing, I reloaded 200 rounds of 30 carbine 2 days ago, and no idea how I swapped them (lazy stupidity I guess), but I ended up grabbing the .311 bullets instead of the .308 bullets. Generally speaking I tend to check bullet dimensions with a micrometer before I start, but I forgot to do it this time until after I had finished. I suppose better late than never, but now I have a big note hanging on the reloading bench.
I had a lovely couple of hours pulling and replacing bullets, but at least my M1 will be happier for it.

I found the actual measurements on the berrys .311 is .3095, and the .308s are .307, but I don't think the M1's have that much tolerance in the barrels, I might slug the bore just for curiosity sake. ah well, lesson learned.
 
120 rds of 500 S&W
90 rds of 44 mag
200 rds 45acp
70 rounds of 455 Auto

Have a few calibers left to do before spring, but getting fairly well stocked up. Bring on some warm weather!!!
 
Finished my neck turning work for a while (did 500 rds of 223, put in cases, plus a dozen "spares"). Sorted and took stock of the 218 Bee brass that I have, (which will be my third loading project).

Resized 50 brass (223) using a Lee Collet Die. These were used today in load testing, which I think I've got a powder weight. Next will be testing seating depths, hope to have good weather next wknd.
 
50 rounds of 45 acp for load development
200 gr DRG SWC, 4.6, 4.9, 5.2 gr IMR 700-x (10 of each), WLR, FED Brass, 1.216"
225gr DRG RN, 4.6, 4.9 gr IMR 700-x (10 of each), WLR, FED Brass, 1.202"

These are my first pistol rounds loaded. Was nice not to be dropping 77 gr of powder into each case for a change.

100 rounds of .218 Bee

Using 11.7 grains of IMR 4227 over a CCI Benchrest Primer pushing at Sierra 40 grain Blitzking bullet.

Have yet to check velocity but its printing about 1.5 MOA out of an old Rolling Block with an oversize chamber.
 
Loaded up 400rnds of 180gr RN behind 4.7gr Titegroup for a (hopefully soon to be mine) CZ TSO in 40SW. The 4.7 makes Major PF in my Tanfoglio, hopefully it does the same in the TSO.
 
Today's reloading didn't involve much more than putting a factory crimp on some stout 45 Colt rounds. The exciting thing is that I'm about 24 hours away from reloading a new caliber for me: 300 Savage. Today I bought a second Hornady COAL tool (the curved tool for levers), a modified case, a shell holder and 117 pieces of brass. A big shout out to Proline Shooters for both having the stuff, you know, just lying around and more importantly the hour-long free education from their staff and regular patrons. My wife gets home tomorrow aft from Phoenix with my Redding Deluxe dies and lastly I'll pick up my Redding micrometer seaters and carbide buttons from Prophet River on Friday at the Calgary gun show.
 
20 rounds of .340 Weatherby Mag. It's been awhile since I loaded some of these and I forgot the ridiculous amount of powder required. 85.5gr of IMR 7828 pushing a Nosler 225gr pill.(with a few Hornady's to finish it up since I ran out of Noslers)

Weatherby cases sure are pretty.
 
25 rounds of 300 AAC Blackout

I'm building an SBR upper so these will be some of the first rounds to run through her.

12.5 to 14.5 gr. of H110 behind a 147 gr. Campro. I cut and formed my own brass which was kinda fun.

Think I might be good for 9mm for the season. Depending on how much I miss, lol. Now onto .38!

147 grain RNFP CamPro over 3.3 grains of Titegroup.

Loaded up 30 rounds of 300WM couple nights ago, testing out seating depth influence. Made for a neat picture. Decapped, neck sized, and body sized (had a few new brass that didn't chamber well) 50 once fired as well.

20190409_220745.jpg

Loaded up 30 rounds of 200gr 45acp, over 4.9 gr of 700-x, 1.216" oal. Used the factory crimp die, on these. Primed an additional 150 cases.
