Cleaned the bench. Had some issues with a rifle powder dropping so i made my own s/stage powder drop funnel for the 650. Works great for subsonic long gun loads.

I spent the past couple evenings turning a 5 gallon bucket of nickel 223 brass into 300 Whisper/Blackout brass.
It might not go faster or shoot better, but it looks cool for sure.
Nickel brass is hard on cutters though.
Loaded up some 147’s for the 9mm. The wolf barrel is a little particular on the length it likes.
Inventoried all reloading items, components etc. Say hello to my little 4 sale post ;)
Cleaned the 1050 and formed 50 pieces of 338 edge brass. Going to take the edge out coyote hunting!
Started load development for a 20 inch gas gun chambered in 223 Ackley.
Using the 69gn Sierra TMK and 27.6 gns of Varget I was just under 3,100 fps with almost zero pressure signs. I couldn't add any more powder than that because I ran out of room in the case and still seat the bullet deep enough to fit in the mag.
Now for accuracy testing.
Prepped all the Dasher and all the 6BR in the house (500+). Even had to trim some. Hope they last this season, since they it's impossible to find more right now.
Did some ladder loads for the new Dasher barrel. It is super duper fast. Running 2990+ with 31.2 grains of Varget and a 105 hybrid. 1.5 grains less than the last barrel. Nuts.
Loaded a boatload of 243 Saturday. Enough to go through an 8 lb jug of H-1000...
Doesn’t that feel good. Just did that on 308 about 3 or 4 months ago
Tumbled a bunch of 10mm and sized a few 9mm...
