50 rounds of .308 for load development in a Norinco M305. 165gr Hornady SST's, new Winchester fully processed brass, CCI 200 primers, and IMR4895. starting at 38.0 grains and working up in .5 grain increments as a general sweep, 5 rounds of each charge weight for a total of 10 different charges. Once I find which general area it likes, say the 40.0-41.0 range shoot best I'll do the same thing again with 0.2 grain increments to dial it in.
Also doing the same with .30-06, same components, made up 33 rounds as that's all I had for once fired brass laying around.
Buying a .223 this week for the simple reason that I've discovered I love reloading and I can reload a LOT more for the same amount of money in .223 hahaha.

That's a very light load.

500 Starline 45 ACP brass, 500 Campro HP's and 2500 Campro .223 heads, and a new primer pocket swager kit just showed up in mail. Lotta .45 and 5.56 gonna be going through the XL650 soon.... That IVI brass is very nice to work with.
100 .44mag using 28.0 grains of H-110 and Nosler 200gr JHP's, 100 using 30.3gr of H-110 and stupid POS %#@$@#!!! Hornady 180 gr XTP's All I can say about these ones is that they sucked slightly less than the last few batches in that I only had to adjust about 20 of them. I wouldn't have bought them if there were any other 180's available. They suck, they really do.
And then using a new lot # of H-110 from an 8lb jug, I screwed up and overloaded 24.4gr of H-110 under Campro 240 gr TMJ's. Fortunately, I only loaded 25 of them so it won't be that bad to take them apart and back them down. The weird thing is that the powder off the top was slightly less dense as the 12 XTP loads that were finished off with the new lot only gained 1/10 of a grain. For future reference, I'll be turning the big jugs over to stir up and blend the contents before decanting to the powder measure. I know that different lot numbers can and do vary in density but I can't say that I've ever found a significant difference in the same container. Oh well, lesson learned before something bad happened. (and no, all the reloads for the dead thing used 1lb lots that were checked every time
)
