The "What Have You Reloaded Today" thread

A few rounds of .38/200 with boolits I cast myself. .361 dia 200gr LRN's from a group buy Lee Mold. 1.5gr of titegroup to start, going to slowly work them up to a decent but not hot load. Oceans of brass kicking around for .38/200 as well. Lucky me :)
 
Loaded and inspected 700 rounds of 230gr JHP .45ACP.
Sized and decapped 2,000 .45ACP so that they can be wet tumbled.

Not too bad considering it's only 5:30am
 
Did some 357Mag reloads last night:

100rnds 158gr Hornady XTP and Campro plated RNFP with 15.5gr W296
50rnds 125gr Campro with 18gr W296
4rnds 109gr #7.5shot shotshells with 5.5gr Unique. I was short 9gr for a 5th rnd... I cut open a shotgun rnd to get the shot 'cause I don't reload shotgun and I managed to spill some shot and may have lost a few pieces. :p
 
Been plugging away at my backlog of pistol brass.

Now have about 1000 9mm sized and primed. Plus started sizing the 5 gallon pail full just to fill time. Not sure I want to tie up that many primers though.

About 1000 44russian/special/magnum sized and primed.
And around 500 in 7.62nagant, 8mm lebel, 38s&w prepped.

Badly need to get casting for almost all of them.
 
Full case prepped and loaded 50 rounds of .22-250 with Varget and Sierra 52gr. HPBT matchkings. My Tikka shoots these great and they seem to be performing very well on coyotes at +/- 3,750 fps (major interior trauma with no hide damage).
 
I've put this task off long enough and in an effort to curb cabin fever, I converted 100pcs of 223 brass to 300BLK.

Ughhh! Three hours later and I'm sore. Damn pilot on my case trimmer got scuffed (dunno how) so it was binding up like crazy. I had to chuck it up in a drill and polish it up with some 400grit then 2000grit emery sandpaper. Had to do this a couple times 'cause the scratches on my pilot was too deep to polish out and it would build up with brass after a few cases.

I had to break open a new cutter head as well. Damn, I've forgotten how easy it is to trim cases with a new cutter. Time to invest in a carbide one.

Maybe I'll tackle another 100 this coming wknd. :p
 
Finally powder coated the rest of my 130gr RNFP bullets so I could finish filling my ammo cans with .38 special and .357 Magnum. Another 200 of each for 600 per can (Red is .38's, Blue is .357's)

All caught up on my reloading. Today I pulled the bullets of my mistakes. Must have been about 25, or so.
Some really dumb mistakes, too. Like no primer or no powder in some. Reloading is not a task to be taken lightly.
