The "What Have You Reloaded Today" thread

Got a 160 pieces of 45ACP brass sized and primed after work plus an other 80 in the tumbler to prep tomorrow. After picking up some bullets for my new pistol and more bullets on the way I've a lot of brass prep to do.
 
41 Swiss. Reformed 348 Win brass, Lee cast 44 Cal 310 gr bullet, over 47.0 grs of 75 year old pulled 8X63 Swedish flake powder. That gives me about 1575 fps out of my 150 year old Swiss Vetterli converted to centrefire obviously. Seems a bit strange using such new powder in such an old gun, huh?
 
Waste not want not eh Andy!? Lol Not so different from what I've been doing.

Yesterday I cast 1/2 a coffee can of 200gr lee .451 so I could spend today making 45acp test loads using a powder for which no data is available. (Winchester AAplus)

Sized and primed about 150 45-70 shells which I need to get casting for.

Also been slowly sizing about 30 liters worth of 9mm brass when nothing else is ready to go.
 
Cast and sized another 120 x 230 gr 45 bullets and cast another 620 x .356 for the 9mm. Total this week is 1295 for the 9mm and 685 for the 45, gonna have a busy night tomorrow loading them all up then off to the range sat or Sunday to create more empty casings to reload this week.
 
Got the Dillon xl650 all set up, took over an hr setting up. Pumpin out 500 x 9mm tonight for the range tomorrow. Shouldn't take to long, the only problem is the mr bullet feeder is not liking my cast 125gr so I have to feed the bad boy by hand. Wish me luck....

22 rounds of 308, 175 smk 41.7 gr 4064 (left over SMK's, I guess they gave me 2 extra in my 500 pack?). Then loaded 50 223 with varget and 60gr vmax, swaged/sized/primed another 150 cases.
 
I loaded up 20 rounds of 303 British this evening.
Trying some 203 grain pulldown bullets that I bought
from a gunnut on here.

They are Soft points from 7.62x54R ammo, and they mike from .3107 to .311
I am trying IMR 4320 first, then possibly N202.
I think I should be able to get around 2400 fps out of them in my P14, and 2500 in my Epps.

Will report back later. Dave.
 
I AM FINALLY HERE!!!
What I reloaded today was my very first home made round ever. After decades of procrastination, I'm up and running.

My Very first round. 8x57 Mauser. 170gr cast (GC) over tite group. About as loud as a .22wmr, zero recoil, and made a soup can dance!


I am so tickled. If I had a tail, it would be wagging! Now to make 5 and see if I can make a group...
