This weekend I did:
2 boxes of 9mm (100 rounds) using Universal and Berry's 124 grain at 4.5 grains powder charge. 1 box of 40 S&W (50 rounds) using 180 grain Berry's and 6.7 grains Longshot 1 box of .223 (20 rounds) using 25.3 grains H-4895 and Hornady 55 grain FMJ's. 1 box of .308 Win (20 rounds) using Nosler 155 grain HPBT's and 46 grains of IMR 4895, Rem Case, CCI primer. I have about 1000 rounds done in each of these calibers now, with components to load at least 500 more. I'll survive the great ammo shortage of 2012 just fine! |

I took it slow today and only loaded up 600 rounds of .45ACP and noticed I ran out of available brass. It looks like I gotta go shopping I guess!

Broke down some reloaded .30-06 I had from 1984. Cases looked horrible so I thought I'd reuse the bullets. Tumbled the cases and they all looked great. Powder had no sign of deterioration (still smelled "factory fresh"). Put everything back together, even the primers I pushed out before tumbling. Hopefully get these to the range this weekend.
All the Best, D. White |

I get to pull down about 40 .204's cause I had 1 separate mid case last range session and I will be sending all 100 of the cases from that lot to the recycle bucket. Weird incident, I did not even know their was a problem till I ejected it and it came out in 2 pieces. Looked like it had been cut in half with a tubing cutter. In that group their was one shot that was away from the rest by about 1 MOA, I assume it was that one

A proven load in my varmint AR, so I had to load up more. Next up will be some 77 grain Match Kings for the same rifle. (1 in 8" twist) Looking forward to trying them out. |

I loaded 12 rounds to work up a devastating load for my S&W 629-4... 300gr XTP-HP. These have 9.5gr of Titegroup and CCI #350 Magnum Primers. I cant wait to blast these off at the range and see what more to add or take away or with luck, keep just the same and make the remaining 88 I have left!!
