AS molds Paradox shotgun slugs. They are powder coated a pleasant blue and sitting on Svarog special tail wads. I have them loaded in new cheddite hulls with 34, 35, 36, and 37 grains of Longshot. Roll crimping to top it off. Due to try them out soon. I think these are going to tenderize my shoulder.
Loaded 20 rounds of .30-06 , Winchester PP 180gr SP, 49.1gn Vihtavouri N550,SB LR Primer, used lee dipper 3.4 leveled
Loaded 20 rounds of .30-06 , Hornady 165gr SP, 50.2gn Vihtavouri N550,SB LR Primer, used lee dipper 3.4 not leveled (but not heaping)
Sometimes I like to reload old school… by volume.

With September upon us, made some hunting rounds.
For the (this year's) deer rifle,
20 rounds of .56-50 for Spencer carbine. 350gr bullet (from JetBullets), 9gr Trailboss, Starline brass, CCI large rifle primers
(Note this is for a reproduction, not original, Spencer, that is rated for smokeless)
.56-50 next to a .44 magnum, for size comparison
For this year's small game rifle (no caliber restrictions where I hunt),
40 rounds of .32 S&W (short), 92gr cast (not sure where they're from, got them in trade), 1 gr Bullseye, cut down .32 S&W long brass, CCI small pistol primers.
These are for a Remington rolling block rifle, originally .32RF converted to .32S&W.
Size comparison with .22LR
And, finally, if I decide to use the more conventional .308 instead,
30 rounds of .308Win, 150gr Barnes TTSX, 42gr Varget, reprocessed various brass, CCI Large Rifle primers

Converted some 7.5x55 Swiss GP11 brass to boxer primer today. I did a test of two yesterday and they worked fine so hopefully this batch is good. Just got done trimming them and tossed them in the tumbler to get the case lube off. Not sure if I'll get to loading them tonight though.

I loaded 14 boxes of trap shells this morning on my old Hornady 366. I didn’t mess any shells up either so that was a bonus.

Loaded up 5 rounds as a test and all went well. I'm going to load the other 40pc I converted when I have the time. It's a fair bit of work to do but I enjoyed the process and gained more 7.5x55 brass.
Loaded 100 rounds of 243 using 100 grain Sierra bullets and 36.2 grains of IMR 4064
I haven’t loaded 243 in many years so used old stock components
How’s 15.95 / 100 for bullets and 17.50 per pound for powder
Winchester large rifle primers at 29.90 / 1000
I guess it paid off to stock up years ago and keep the powder dry

Loaded up some .30-06 cartridges for a ladder test. Shooting 175gr Barnes LRX over StaBALL 6.5. 3 each at 53, 54, 55, and 56 grains. Winchester MGLR primers. One red pill at 56.5gr. All loaded to 3.340" COAL. There's no published data for this powder/bullet combo so we'll see how it goes.
