100 rounds, 450 marlin. 400gr Barnes Original Semi-Spitzer 44gr H4198 it's not a compressed load but dam close. Brass cut back to 2.04 from 2.1 as Hornady manual suggest for the spitzer bulet, a must to get the length right. Pushing 1900fps and a BC of .389 should get a bit more yards if necessary. Yes it's going in a bolt action.
Just finished loading 100 rounds: 300gr 338LM Berger Elite Hunter over 88.2gr H1000. Produces a 1.63" 5 round group at 200m @ 2640fps
Got these done up for long range moose hunting: at 1000m it still has more than 1800ft lbs of energy

Last night I made up 50 test rounds of 32 S&W long for an old .22 rebarreled with a 303 barrel.
11gr of fffg, some with 120gr bullets and some with 88gr in case the recoil is too abusive.

Did some 44 mag test loads. 300gr jacketed and 240gr cast hi-tech coated both with H110. Looking forward to maximum recoil and fireball.
Then a small handful of 455 Webley. 220gr cast with Unique. Now waiting for the gun to show up in the mail so I can try them.

Had a good weekend of case prep! I set up my new to me Dillon RT1200 trimmer and hornady L'N'L swager. Went through close to 1500 pieces of 223. I have close to 7000 pieces of 223 to work through, so still a ways to go, but the rhythm is down and progress is coming... WAY quicker than the dillon swager and lee quick trim die.
