The "What Have You Reloaded Today" thread

About 100 rounds of .223 on my new Lee Pro 1000 took about 4 hours.
This thing has one hell of a learning curve on it BUT Youtube is your friend so am figuring out the quirks.
Towards the end things were going smoother until I figured out I had shut the powder measure off and had loaded about 20-30 rounds.
 
Last weekend - 243 Win 90gr Nosler Accubond & RL19, and 243 Win 87gr Hornady BTHP & IMR 4451. 375 Ruger 300gr Woodleigh & RL16, 300 WSM 200gr Accubond & RL26, 7mm WSM 162gr ELDx over RL16, RL23, RL26, 7wsm 175gr Nosler Partition over H4831sc, 223 Rem 53gr Nosler Varmageddon Tipped over H380, 338-06 300gr Woodleigh & Ramshot Hunter. Probably others too. Two good range trips, looking forward to more now that the snow has melted
 
I'm currently loading 308 for some further load development.

Hornady 195gr ELD-Match, CFE223, Lapua Brass & BR2 primers. 20 thou off the lands. Last weekend I was sending these down range at a whopping 1650fps with 45gr's of CFE223. SD of 6fps. My shoulder still hurts ;)

Loaded a few hundred rounds of 9mm and 45ACP. 20 rounds of 30-06 for the M1 Garand and about 50 rounds of 7.62x39 for the SKS. Tomorrow will be some 38 special and 43 Mauser
 
Hacking my way through case of Lake City 7.62 once fired brass at about 100 a day. Sizing, swaging, trimming, prepping and priming. Initially was using a rotary tool to remove the crimps before switching to the swaging tool that is a lot easier. Also switched from hand priming tool to my press as the force needed to seat the primers was hard on the hand.
 
Loaded first time 10 rounds of 40SW, going to Chrony them tomorrow to make sure they make PF. Speaking of PF, my load is Campro FCP HP 180gr, Hodgdon HS6 6.1gr starting load, COL 1.12 out of a Springfield XD40. Anyone use this 'recipe'?

Some more 280AI loads, my Kimber likes IMR7828 with 160ABs
Some 223 / 69SMK and RL15
Prepped 100 New Norma 6XC Brass
50 rounds of 6.5x47L H4350 / 130g VLD Hunter
 
People must busy out in the sun rather than hunched over the reloading bench.

Did about 150 rounds each of 38-55 and 40-60 couple weeks ago. All Goex BP and home cast bullets.

Today finished up 155 rounds of 44special. Some with 25 gr ffg for the Merwin Hulbert and the rest with 30gr and seated long to cycle in a Marlin 1894.

I'm just on the verge of loading this for the first time. Mind sharing how you build your cartridges?

Edit: I've stocked up with new brass, FFFg, SPG lube, various wads, cards, 2 different bullets from Jet Bullets, etc...Just curious what people go with when reloading BP. I've seen what I consider to be pretty exotic setups to "fill the case, seat a bullet and shoot..."
