Tried to clean the shithole up a little. Got shovel blisters on my tender little hands.....
Well, yesterday loaded up 50 test rounds of .223. Increased the powder by .5 gr every 5th round.
Streched the retainer spring a bit on my LNL AP so the .357 cases would stop tipping over when trying to find their way into the sizing/decapping die. It worked so well I finished loading all my cases.
Loaded quite a few 556 with ballistic tip noslers with from 40- 50 grain. Loaded a few hundred, don't laugh that rounds expensive, 380 with Bayou Bullets and Bullseye.
Last 5 years I've had about 1/2 pound of Blue Dot in my reloading room. I never really found a load I liked with it (compared to 2400). Decided I need to use it so I tried to load it up with the new 250 grain rnfp's I'm casting in .44. I got a pretty darn solid blaster load with 14 grains / 1,230 fps from a 4-5/8" Blackhawk a few days ago. Didn't set any records for speed, but I had 4/6 rounds hitting the same hole at 15 yards. With the state of pistol powder, 250 rounds is 250 rounds. Loaded up the rest tonight. We'll see how they do at 100 and 200 yards next week.
Cleaned the place up to get it ready for the new safe tomorrow.
Poured my last 3/4 pound of Unobtanium (aka, Hodgdon Clays) into the hopper of my 550 to load some .45 ACP. Clays is the best 45 ACP fuel I have ever found. Sad day.....
Set up the rl1050. Jamie likes. Now I know how to take it apart and put it back together.
