got started on the 5 gallon bucket of .223 brass...
Just doing what I can to stay on this side of the dirt.
Loaded up a bunch of 6 Grendel with N540 and 105 Berger Hybrids.
Going to head to the range to be sure this is the load I am going to stick with and put it over a chronograph to check ES/SD. Both loads group well at 100, but I need to check how they do at 400 and beyond.
And then I looked outside and saw it was snowing. I went back downstairs to load some 41 mag ammo.

I necked down some 6.5 Grendel brass to 6mm for my build. Also loaded 300 rounds of 6mm Creedmoor getting ready for the Vegas Match in 2 weeks
will work for:
bullets primers & brass
XTR II 4 x 20 SCR
XTR II 5x25 SCR
XTR II 3x15 SCR
XTR III 5.5x30 SCR
Hawkins Precision
Picked up a new bench and cleared every out. I will pick up my Dillon 650 tomorrow
i will ill be loading .380, 40, 10mm, 45apc, 223, 9, and 357 mag. What powders do you guys like for the 9, 10, 380, 40 and 45. I would like to use the same for all 5 and was looking at the bullseye but not sure.

Titegroup or Unique for hand gun 2230, X-TERMINATOR, or TAC in the rifles. . HOWEVER not all powder will perform across the board, like you hope it will. I went from using TG across the board to Unique for 38 w/ 158 bullets. H110 is nice and zippy for .357 AND 300BLK
Best bet would be to buy a 1lb of what ever is available then do some ladders for best performance. What work for someone else in their Walther 380 may not work in your sig or bersa. Your choice of bullet (weight / profile) is a factor too.

"when you're happy you enjoy the melody but, when you're broken you understand the lyrics".
Win231/HP-38 is a great all-around powder for plinking velocities, as is Bullseye and Titegroup (they're all fast powders, so not best for high velocity loads). Unique is great for mid-range loads and higher, WSF is as well.
The new Alliant BE-86 powder is excellent for all those calibers! So are Ramshot powders: Silhouette and Zip.

Thanks for the info. I will feel that all I'm mind.
2400 for 357 Magnum, all bullet weights, Unique is nice too
I got everything set up and rolled my first 20 rounds of 40 S&W tonight. We will see how they shoot tomorrow!
