The 'what are you reloading today?' thread - Page 11

hooligan1 · January 2, 2013, 04:26 PM

Just came up from basement, after loading those 50 .243 winchester cases with Winchester Supreme 780 and 100 grain Sierra Gamekings.

huntinaz · January 2, 2013, 04:44 PM

Loaded up a box of 45 ACP last night, in preparation for the 45 pistols I have in the mail. I've gone far to long without a 45 ACP. 5.1gr W231 under a 230gr LRN. Hoping to do another box tonight.

Magnum Wheel Man · January 2, 2013, 06:08 PM

Didn't read the whole thread, but since my new bench is not quite ready, & I'm moving everything, I took this time to do some sorting... when my wife's dad died, he was working on converting about 300 military 223 cases to 7.62 X 25... I was kinda overwhelmed at the time, & just put them all in baggies & stuffed them in an ammo can... seems like a good time to complete them, & get them loaded up... the process involves 3 steps ( maybe 4 ) 1st is cutting to length, then I see I have form dies for putting the shoulder in place, then the case mouth has to be turned... I think thats it... there are some that appear to be turned down some at the base, but I think they just turned when being cut in the lathe ??? we'll see...

I have about 10 that have been test loaded & fired, about 40 that have the shoulder, & 250 that have been trimmed to length... I think a couple that haven't been fired, appear to have 100 grain plinker .308 bullets, & there is a recipe card in the can, that used Unique... I think I'll shop for a few other powders to try out... I don't like using Unique in semi's, as it's pretty dirty...

anyone else out there formed the cases, & or reload for 7.62 X 25 ???

reynolds357 · January 2, 2013, 09:58 PM

I am trying to load 270 WSM, but they are driving me crazy. The rifle I am loading for has a tight chamber and it makes things aggravating as crap.

TheoShooter · January 3, 2013, 12:40 AM

Trap league starts tomorrow so I reloaded 200 rounds of 12 ga. 1oz #8 shot. Gonna be cold tomorrow night, around 20 , so I hope everyone shoots fast!

hammered54 · January 3, 2013, 12:47 AM

just finished up 100pc. of 40 S&W, 8.5g of HS6 with a 155g XTP...on to trimming and sizing some new Win. 30.06 brass.

browninghunter86 · January 3, 2013, 10:42 PM

loading 80 match loads(178 BTHP,Varget, CCI 200, fully prepped cases) for a 3x600 yrd match this weekend.

Heading to the Man-Cave to load another 50 of my .40 S&W...
Mixed Head Stamp
Tumbled, Sized and De-primed, Primer pocket cleaned, Primer pocket uniformed, Length check, Belled, Then...
CCI small pistol primers

9.5 gr of Blue Dot

Almost at 1000 of these and then I will develop a new load for fun and do 1000 more. Fun stuff!

FrankenMauser · January 13, 2013, 04:20 AM

IMR4064

jj320 · January 13, 2013, 08:20 AM

I will be working on 45acp when i get home from work. Cleaned it yesterday and will start setting the new dies and hopefully get some loaded.

308Prepper · January 14, 2013, 05:45 AM

45 ACP

biganimal · January 14, 2013, 07:50 AM

Last night I loaded 20 rds of 6mmPPC, 80 rds of .223, & 50 rds of 44Mag. After work today I'm going to the range with the 44 then its home to reload some more.

stubbicatt · January 14, 2013, 08:55 AM

Spent the day yesterday loading up just shy of 200 rounds, about 90 of 308 and 95 of 243.

243 is time consuming since with IMR 4350 I pretty much have to weigh each charge. The 308 with the RL15 I just throw charges, and it works well.

Don't know the next time I'll be able to go shooting, but I'm hoping to go coyote hunting here soon.

L_Killkenny · January 14, 2013, 10:57 AM

Sized, belled and primed about 250 .32H&R cases yesterday (Sunday). Will be loading em up as the week progress'.

DASHZNT · January 14, 2013, 03:01 PM

.45 ACP.. 700 rounds so far and a few thousand more to go!

DASHZNT

biganimal · January 16, 2013, 09:19 PM

loaded 50 44mag, FC nickel brass, WW lg pistol standard primers, 20grs 2400 powder pushing 240 gr gas checked cast bullet.

reynolds357 · January 16, 2013, 09:23 PM

6.5 Creedmoor

Jbotto · January 17, 2013, 10:01 PM

I had a shooting day creep up on me and realizing I was out of cast plinking bullets loaded up 150 of these instead. 7.2grs of Unique underneath a 158gr Hornady XTP. They were not quite as hot as factory PMC... Another half a grain, and I bet they would be a nice match.

biganimal · January 20, 2013, 02:47 PM

just loaded up a hundred 8x57 for next week's range session.

used a 180 gr cast gas checked bullet over 17.5 grs of 2400. this makes for a nice accurate low recoil load for 100yds in my 24/47 yugo.

also spent yesterday evening casting 150 of the 8mm 180's, 50 405grainers for the 45/70, and 500 .357's DEWC

hunter52 · January 20, 2013, 07:51 PM

Spent the last two days prepping 500 5.56 brass and 400 7.62x51 brass. Sized trimmed and primer pockets reamed.

Fire_Moose · January 20, 2013, 08:00 PM

Once I see how the Balt-Ne game is going I'm going to do up 100 135gr plated FP with 3.3gr titegroup. Then work on making a hole in my Lee pro disk throw around 3.1gr and load up 16 of those.

useless signiture

Glen-Bob · January 20, 2013, 10:39 PM

44 Spec for my daughter to run through her revolver. She runs 44 mags through her carbine and the specials make it a little easier on her to handle in the six shooter. Loaded up 100 with XTP's as that was all I had on hand.

Fire_Moose · January 21, 2013, 06:01 AM

It was bullseye...not TG.

Did 15 3.09gr and 10 2.9gr

AND didn't have to modify a hole in the disk!

jwrowland77 · January 23, 2013, 11:04 PM
