What did you do in the reloading room today?

[Great-Kazoo]

Damn I need a 550b.

My offer still stands

[Rucker61]

I have a couple hundred of those loaded up. What powder you using?

I need to load up my own couple of hundred. My best group was 1/2 MOA with 50g VMAX, 24 grains of H322, ATI brass and Federal 210 primers out of a Savage Model 10 with a 24" varmint barrel. The gun needs a new trigger badly.

Use this Chamfer / deburring instead of trimming.

Got the New Dillon super 1050 put together however it is a little fussy right now. I know I need to do a little more fine tuning.

How long was that running before you broke it, Yeti?




ETA: I don't know it's broken yet, just assuming as it's been longer than 48 hours.

Sigh, found a replacement tool for my Lyman Small Primer Pocket Reamer. The Lyman tool is no longer sharp. Barely made it through 250-300 cases before it stopped cutting the brass. Filed a complaint/warranty/ticket with Lyman but I doubt I'll hear back from them.

The replacement is a simple countersink tool with 6 cutting edges. Should be more than perfect for what I need. Granted, this one is still manual though I might be able to find one that I could use in an electric drill.

Also tracking my 1k 55gr FMJ bullets about every 10min. Should be here on monday and I'll get to load up some test loads, then head to the range and test both 9mm and 223. The question is, what range do I test for accuracy on the 223? Is 50yds too close to see a real difference? They'll be shot through an AR with a red dot, though I'll probably use the irons for the testing.

With a P-dog Shoot close at hand, I needed to restock my 223 Varmint Loads so I ran 300 40gr NBT, 27gr Varget, & WSR through the press. After that it was time for the 6x45 (6mm/223 REM) 100 70gr NBT, 26gr Benchmark, & WSR.

I paper @ 25 then set @ 50. This gives me on again @ 250. I'm not a MOA shooter, just like to know when i point i'm COM. I do like knowing the groups i get (off the bench) are on the money

Loaded up some 223 to shoot tomorrow. Apparently a few LC cases slipped through and made it onto the press for loading. Forgot how much I dislike crimped primer pockets.

Thanks jim, so I'd be able to obviously see a difference in groupings even at 50yds? I was thinking about doing that, but it just seems pretty close to me for 223, like testing pistol loads at 3-5yds.

Primed 1060pcs of 5.56 brass.

Also the Lyman reaming tool is only sharpened mild steel and sucks. The Hornady version is tool steel and lasts forever. They were in stock at Midway this week but I refuse to pay their minimum order fee to get one.

Yea, the Lyman one was at my LGS and I didn't want to pay $10 to ship anything from Midway (because if I was going to place an order with them, I'd be getting more than just that).
