What did you do in the reloading room today?

[Great-Kazoo]

Started Saturday finished up tonight. Prepped over 2000 rounds of 556. Deprime, wet tumble, dry, lube, size, swage, trim remove lube. I might need to see a doctor about my shoulder!

A 1050 is cheaper that 1 - 2 doctors visits. Not counting your deductible & any meds prescribed.

You sir are correct.

I'm new to reloading but I think I'm understanding the importance of consistency in the complete process. I'm not looking to bench rest shoot, just want to take the ammo errors out of the game.

• Win Brass 2.008, (1.6235 shoulder)
• Necked only, fire formed already
• CCI #200
• Shoulder bump .0015
• SMK 175
• COAL 2.825
• To Ogive 2.250
• Varget (41.5-42.0) under development

Went out to the property yesterday and shot 3 groups of 3 (41.0, 41.5 and 42.0 each group) at 201 yards and the results showed the 41 gr seemed to be the furthest (lowest) from the group.
Vertical drop from rounds 2 and 3 were .28, .32 and .27 MOA respectively per group.
This is the vertical distance I'm addressing with charge weight per research.

First group of 3:


The additional groups showed the 1st round (41.0) another .4 - .5 MOA lower.

So last night I pulled the remaining 41.0's and added a little powder to put it in the middle of the 2nd and 3rd rounds. I now have 41.5, 41.7 and 42.0 for Saturday at the BRC to finalize which charge weight to stick with. Pretty happy with the consistency of the rounds compared to Southwest Ammunition's Match junk.

Prepped 100 pieces of Winchester .300 WSM brass. Tumbled a few hundred pieces of 9mm and around 100 of .38/.357. Loaded 400 9mm and 200 5.56mm on the Lee Classic Turret. The LCT is a great way to multi-task during a hour long evening conference call with my Asian coworkers and suppliers. I'm at about 200 rounds an hour.

Made my first run of 300 BLK OUT from 223.
