What did you do in the reloading room today?

[KS63]

1 bucket of 223 down, 1 to go. Then back to 308 - 6.5 converting

What manufacturer of dies for the 6.5 are you using? Researching a set for my future 6.5C.

Hornady, since i had them. My dies of preference are dillon carbide, yet people speak highly of the hornady when using 6.5

I loaded 10 rounds of .308 using imr 4064. One ragged hole 5 shot groups at 100. I swapped over to imr 4895 at 42.5 gr with a 168. At 100, I was consistently getting one flier per 5 shot group. I numbered and loaded the same five cases five times, and the flier moved from case to case. Im a little puzzled about it, but Im thinking I just need to stick with the 4064. It would hit about half an inch to an inch outside the group in all directions. All rounds were individually loaded into the chamber, not from the mag.

quickly cranked out ~150 .38's and realized I have to go get a new .45 shell holder tomorrow which put my plans of working up a new load for my Kimber on hold.

If you load 308, it's the same shell plate

LOL, was cleaning up and setting up my various new quick change tool heads for my 550 and discovered I did not get a .45 Colt conversion kit.

Dies? Check
Quick change kit? Check
Conversion kit? WTH!!!!!

Cleaned my room, sorted crap that I need and don't need. Now there is stuff for sale in the classifieds.

Unfortunately I don't. Almost bought a set of dies at Green Mountain today just for the plate but lo and behold....RCBS dies don't come with them!
