50 218Bee 45 gr Horn HP
50 348Winchester 200gr Horn FP

Playing around with some 43 Mauser rounds for my Model 71's formed from 7mm/300 magnum brass and 45/90 brass, plus a box of 32 Remington for my latest purchase, a Model 30 Remington.
 
60 rounds of of 7.5×55 Swiss in about 20 minutes on my inaugural run on a new Lee Classic Turret press.

Here's 20:

And here's one particularly pretty one:

Loaded up 600rnds 9mm using 124gr Campros behind 4gr Titegroup. Haven't been able to chrony them but I was getting 130PF out of my Glock using 4.1gr so hopefully these safely make minor out of my Shadow2 else they are plinking ammo. Waiting for some 147gr pills to come in to do some testing.
 
Finalized some loads for 243 win using 85gr TSX and 90gr Nosler E-tip. Two different savage 10 rifles I cobbled together. 22" factory barrels 9.25 twist. H4350 with CCI BR2 lighting them up in Winchester cases.
85tsx 42.5gr H4350 outstanding sub moa groups @100m. 60 jump COAL 2.705. Should be an outstanding game getter.
90gr E-tip 41.5gr H3250 clover leaf cluster @100m. 30 jump COAL 2.700. New to this load and bullet in the 243 and should be another great game getter.
Sorry no chrony data as if was acting up today.

Got to like it when a plan comes together. Please notice these are well above published loads and my rifles practical max so as always...work up. However it appears those loads you read on the Hodgdon or Nosler site for these bullets are rather lawyered up.

Elkys 243s....

I had this bucket of 4 range session pickup worth of brass that I've just been putting off for the longest while. Ughhh!

Going by the average amount of certain sized brass that fills a tupperware container... I deprimed and tumbled approx 2500pcs of 9mm, 300pcs of 45ACP, 200pcs of 40SW, 200pcs of 223, 50pcs of 45LC and 5pcs of 50AE. Tumbled 'em all in my dual 3lb HarborFreight rock tumbler. Holy crud, I've been shooting/reloading so much 9mm prepping for my BB course the last 2mts, after this weekend, I think I'm going to need to pickup a bigger tumber like the Frankford.

I used to resize all my brass and store them in containers after they were tumbled but that's become too much of a chore now. Finally got around to using my PTX expander in my LNL AP and will resize on the fly going forward.
 
I reloaded 9 rounds of .223 (lol). My first ever batch of reloaded cartridges. Going to test them out this weekend hopefully.

Also tumbled and deprimed (and removed the crimp) of about 1000 peices of ivi 556 nato brass (over the last 3 days). I will probably save that until I get a good grasp on wtf I'm doing.

32-20 winchester for a Marlin 27. Used oversize PL pistol bullets ( powder coated ) over a 4 grain charge of Tinstar; oversized for the 0.314 diameter bore on the Marlin.
 
First I cast some .379" 255 grain bullets



And then I annealed some 45-70 cases and ran them through my 38-56 dies.

I loaded 5 as I was way too excited to finally shoot my 1897 manufactured marlin 1895 carbine!! Been working on it for about 8 months!

Here's the cartridges all finished.

 
about 100 12gauge for trap 25.6 800x under a 7/8oz #8ish shot made by a guy I know. Hot little load and yes I know the powder doesn't fit the load but I got a 5lb can for 10 bux so it will have to do. Guys on the trap line are telling me that there is an 18 inch long fireball coming out of the barrel. Not much recoil though
