Also printed up some decals for my ammo boxes, this way I can keep track of firings and other stats.

Loaded some .45 auto for the first time.
10 rounds 5.6 gn Unique
10 rounds 5.7 gn Unique
230 gn campro FCP RN
Win large pistol primers
1.240 C.O.A.L
Loaded on a hornady lock and load single stage press.
Trying to find a IPSC load that just meets PF, so at least 750 FPS
Should be getting my chronograph early next week, then I can head to the range and test it out.
Also waiting for my pistol rotor and pistol metering insert to arrive so that I don't have to weigh out each and every load.

Decapped and washed the 310 pieces of .44mag brass (1 went missing somewhere) from this morning. And decapped about 500 pieces of crimped primer .223/5.56 brass. Grrrrrrrr....... Really looking forward to swaging it all, not!
Just finished reloading another new small test batch, this time .40 S&W and again first time reloading.
10 rounds 4.1 gns Power Pistol
10 rounds 4.2 gns Power Pistol
180 gn FCP TC campro
Winchester small pistol primer
Winchester range pick up brass
1.125 C.O.A.L
This is a .40 lite load for IPSC production class with my FNS-40L, hoping for around 750 FPS so 135 PF. Had to guess the gns required as my hornady reloading manual only went down to 850 FPS but it seemed that 50 FPS, was about .6 gns.

Unfortunately that batch is still sitting there, got sidetracked with gearing up for a 3 gun match this past weekend, so was working on finalizing my 9mm competition loads in particular, and CFE works VERY well there! Plan on making time this coming weekend for this .38 test group.
