What did you do in the reloading room today?

[Hoser]

What load did you end up using? I’ve got a few hundred new .44 special cases I need to load up. I’ve got some powder coated 250 grain cast hollow points I will probably load.

Just a mild load of Universal Clays and Gallant coated 200 gn round nose.

A friend came over to load Dasher at my house. He's been reloading on a single stage press, and I've been regaling him with tales of loading precision ammo at a rate of 2-3 rounds a minute on my Dillon 550. While there, he spotted my 650 and 1050 as well as my Auto Trickler. I'm pretty sure that visit is going to cost him roughly $4K.

Ha! On a side note, the connection to the target flashers is AUDIO, not bluetooth.

It's pretty amazing how the 1050's sell themselves...

Two guys that I have shown my 1050's to have then gone on to buy their own.

Have 1k of 145 coated 9mm projectiles sitting here. Guy i got them from, along with 2k of 155 p/c'd , asked if i tried sport pistol ? Lots of load data for coated bullets, sold me 3 pounds of it. I'll finish the 145's this weekend, 500 loaded as of this morning. They shoot fairly soft w/ 3.5 gr SP, see how they do suppressed tomorrow.

Loaded 100rds of match 223. Lapua brass,varget, 52gr eldm. I've got it down pretty good now i use my auto charge then dump it in to a old school ohaus beam scale then trickel to my final charge weight. Last batch was at 1/2-5/8in groops.

Since I've got assloads of components, I've decided to start assembling them together in the (perhaps misguided) belief that they'll be easier to store in a smaller area as assembled ammo. So, I've been filling up the primed brass I've been hoarding with the bullets and powders I've been hoarding. A daunting project, haven't made a dent.

All the .45Colt, .38Special, .357mag, 10mm and .380acp so far. Hell, just finished 650rds of .308, and I don't even have a rifle for it. I'll never be able to shoot it all up, guess my heirs will have a good time.....

Not exactly in the reloading room, but I keep slapping together 6XC rounds in small batches to take to the range and haven't done a full work up yet. I've seen 3 hits on steel nearly touching at 500 meters on several occasions and finally shot it with the lab radar up. I only had 3 rounds left but the numbers made me think I may have stumbled onto something.

Stats - Average 2973.26 fps
Stats - Highest 2976.5 fps
Stats - Lowest 2971.11 fps
Stats - Ext. Spread 5.39 fps
Stats - Std. Dev 2.85 fps

That looks like a solid load so far.
