The "What Have You Reloaded Today" thread

Getting things loaded up for next summer's CAS, so it's .45 Colt loading time around here.
I just do a few at a time; different loads for the RNV and the .45 Colt '66 and '73 lever actions and the Rolling Block. Each one likes something just a little different.
 
Recently became reacquainted with a 6.5X58 Portuguese Vergueiro rifle, been reforming cases from 270 and 30-06 brass. Loaded up 80 rounds this past week with 140 gr Spire Points.
 
I just re load for my 45/70 with a simple Lee loader kit,h322 powder,no hot loads just plinking rounds for the range so I can let others try the 45/70 without fearing it .so far I'm making some very accurrate loads with hornady brass and 405 grain jfp,and 325 grain ftx bullets. It's a lot fun and much easier on the shoulders lol.
 
Just finished off a batch of 45 ACP, and for the first time loaded 45LC, just bought a Spencer Rifle and a 1860 Henry and a Uberti El Patron all in 45 LC, so just loaded up about 30 rounds to see what each firearm likes, the Spencer is supposed to be picky about length and how hot a load you can run

Foolishly sold my original about 15-16 years ago and instantly regretted it, the one I bought recently is a very nice example and I can guarantee it won't be going down the same road.I use 6.5X57 Mauser load data for making up my rounds, cases are very close dimension wise.I really like both the rifle and the chambering.
 
Loaded some 280AI with 139gr GMX's and some 340 WBY with 225gr TTSX's last week for a ladder test. Now if it could just not be -30 for a little while.
 
Loaded up 227 pcs .45ACP! 87 rounds 225 gr DRG FP, 1.200" OAL, over 4.5gr Titegroup, sparked by WLP. Also 140 rounds of 200 gr Cactus Plains SWC, over 5 gr Titegroup, sparked by WLP. All made on my Lee single stage. Only took 2 hours...

This PPC/Duty pistol club night shooting really chews through a persons ammo. Almost time to invest in a 9mm, and a progressive press!
 
Resized, chamfered and primed 150pcs of 270 Wby Mag brass. Loaded some 44 Mag ammo, with 200gr OMA cast and Vihtavuori Tin Star, 240gr Nosler JHP with H110, Speer 270gr JSP with H110 & LilGun
 
Just got set up for reloading after much reading and research, only made 40 rounds so far, 20 30-06 and today 20 300 Savage, both with 150 gr Hornady Interlock bullets, wish I had of started years ago!

Well,you are off and running now,no going back once the handloading bug bites. At least that is how things have turned out for me anyways.
