The "What Have You Reloaded Today" thread

Trying a new recipe for the 338 Lapua , 250g Interlocks with Retumbo powder .
I have about 350 of these projectiles , couple of lbs each of Retumbo , IMR7828 ,IMR 4831 and some US869 .
Figured i would try Retumbo this time around as ive never used this powder before .
Loaded 4 x 92g, 4x 93g, 4 x 94g ,4 x ,95g and 4 x 96g for now , just for trial .
Also loaded 30 x110g Pro Hunter for my 270 WSM .
 
A few test rounds of 458win mag 4 starting load to get the hang of it and then 4 more in one grain increments, 500gn Hornady RN from the red and white box era on top of H335…. IMG_1125.jpeg
 
I processed a bucket of 9mm brass (it was wet tumbled clean so I lubed it before depriming / resizing it). Guessing around 3000 pieces.

Then I loaded 350 5.56 75gr BTHPs
 
Loaded up a bunch of 30-06 for my first M1 Garand that's on the way. Found some old NRA & CMP load suggestions

150 Grain FMJ
- 48 Grains Win 748
- 49 Grains of Varget
- 49 Grains of IMR4895

168 Grain SMK
- 47 & 47.5 Grains of Varget
- 48 & 48.5 Grains of IMR4895

I cant to take the M1 out to the range. Time to hunt down some more 30-06 brass
 
Couple different grain combos pushing some 75gr eld win with 748 and H4350. Looking for 500yds plus with these bad boys in a 22-250!

Prime and loaded 200rds 22 hornet 40gr speer 10.5gr h110 today. Also prime and loaded some 22-250 with 40gr v-max, 55gr fmjbt, 40gr speer sp with 2520 powder
 
Loaded up just under 300rds of 9mm. Got invited to PPC provincials at the end of the month, so needed some practice ammo. Been 2 years since I shot the last, due to health reasons.

Annnnnd it's gone. 500rds thru the CZ in the last 2 weeks. Officially out of bullets and down to a few sleeves of primers. Which the price said 49.99.
 
Reloading for my son's Tikka varmint 243 today. These newer 243's are 1:8 twist and the throat is quite long. At an OAL of 2.807" I am .030" off. Tried a few different powders with the same OAL, N555, N565, staball 6.5 and Hybrid 100v. Hybrid gave me the best velocity and group @ 100yrds. I will stretch it out a bit tomorrow and see if it holds together. These groups were not shot with the same powder charge as I was doing an OCW but the groups surprised me! The hybrid 100 powder test group ranged from 41.7-42.1 with a 108ELDM this was my final powder test for this powder and I will be going with 41.8gr.
