Cycles in my 40 Hi-Point:redface: and SAM Omega, but not in the CZ 75. Cycles the 45 Norinco 1911, but not the SIG 220.

I don't want to put in any more powder in fear of compressing the powder, which is not advised.

I also tried just under 3 gr. TB in 9mm, but it wouldn't cycle Norinco M-29 slide and I didn't want to try more powder.

Picked up a box of 240gr Campro .44mag and another of 115gr 9mm on Thursday (Thanks Kate!). 258 rounds of 9mm and almost all of the .44's. I lost count but there's only a handful left out of the 500. Backed off the hotter range load by 3/10 of a grain to 23.5 grains of H-110 in Starline brass, 240gr Campro TMJ and a WLP. Almost 500 lighter range loads of 21.5gr of IMR4227 loaded so far using the S&B primers, I'll find out tomorrow how well they work. Which will probably be fine since their ammo seems to work.
 
Started prepping 50, 243 brass for 75gr VMax. going to be pushed by 760.
This load is for the Ruger American Compact and coyotes.
I am currently awestruck by this little rifle.

Finally got dies for my .284 Shehane. Been trimming, neck turning and sizing the first batch of 100 Win cases. 75 done, pretty good so far. Some of the flash holes are pretty wonky.....
Worked on some 6.5x47L cases too, after 5 firings the damn things still haven't lengthened by even 0.001"!
 
Loaded up another 300 rounds of .40 for my new STI. I confirmed yesterday that they make Major Power Factor so now I can go to town loading a bunch.

I can load 300 in about an hour on my Dillon SDB and it takes over an hour more to chamber check, visually inspect (I found two split cases yesterday), and mark the base of these 300. Not a bad evening's work.
 
40-82 WCF for my Marlin model 1895 which was shipped in 1896. It is a standard round barrel rifle with a Lyman 21 rear sight and it has a near perfect bore.
I am using Lyman mould 403169 with wheel weights and the bullets come out around 242 grains. I also tried the Barnes 250 grains with good results. The best results so far have been with IMR 3031 held down with a small wad of dacron.
 
Loaded up some 6.5x55 target rounds for a S&L M69....H4831 and moly coated 140gr Hornady BTHP....almost too pretty looking to shoot lol.
Also a box of 30'06 for a new HVA with PRVI 165gr BTSP...I'm on the fence with these bullets, can't get them to shoot consistently in any gun yet.
And a box of 8x57 with Sierra 150gr pro-hunters for an iron sight Vapen Depoten.

The 6.5x47 is a wicked cartridge!
 
Just started reloading so my first 250 rounds of 9mm. Took them to the range and I get way more accuracy out of my handloads than any factory ammo I have put through my CZ 75. Very impressed and happy.
 
I just spent a few hours and cranked out 1000 rounds of 9mm.

Yesterday I put together 10 rounds of 300 Blackout with 6.3gr of Trailboss under a Remington 150gr FMJ-BT for some subsonic testing and then 90 rounds of 300BLK with IMR4227 under the same Rem 150gr for some supersonic plinking rounds. The 4227 loads were ten rounds of each powder charge starting at 13.3 and ending with 16gr as a max load. I built 10 of each so I have enough to try them in all three of my rifles (not the Trailboss loads though, they are for the bolt action only).
I should have taken a picture :)
 
Been loading solely for my Norc 1911 in 45 lately. Resized and primed 500 cases the other day and loaded up 50 rounds with my 230gn cast TC bullets over 6.5gn of Longshot. Pistol runs fairly reliably with these rounds and plenty accurate but would like to do a little work on the feed ramps to eliminate the minimal shearing I'm getting with the ww lead TC bullets.
 
When you can load your own 100.00 ammo for fiffy bucks and a little time in the basement what's there to think about?
