What did you do in the reloading room today?

Stared at the 550. Wondering what ever happened to my cover

I need to issue an apology to the board. Or see if I can actually make them. I bought all the material.

It was 12gr of 1680 loaded to 2.24" COAL.

I was loading based on a bunch of targets I shot a few years ago and that was the load with the best group. I didn't even look in a book to see what speed that was supposed to be at.

I loaded some Eggleston (original) 200 gr projectiles at something similar and they were definitely subs, but had serious issues.

Wow, hot.

I run 10.6gr AA1680 with a 208gr AMAX pill @ 2.220 in my 9" AAC barrel with a can.

I did not yet have a chrono when I ran the ladder, but cycled perfectly and had decent groups and were sub.

I have some 220 SMK I haven't worked a load yet, but stock is very limited on these here.

If you haven't found it, check out 300Blktalk site. http://www.300blktalk.com/forum/view...?f=141&t=68693

When working up subs, start high and work down.

When you get to around 1025-1050 fps, thats when you start playing with things for reliability and accuracy.

Got everything prepped and ready to load some 9mm for the range.

Haven?t done much reloading in a while so no powder on hand.

Not sure what my chances are of finding some locally but may venture out and take a look.

Lincoln Park pawn outside of canon city had some powder, but they were about 2x regular price.

Yeah. Not going to venture that far out looking. Lol.

I have had good luck getting powder at Murdochs lately.

[ray1970]

Hmm. I never would have thought about Murdoch?s.

Heck I think the Big R right by my house might carry powder. Might run and look.

Worst case, I?ll probably be up in Wyoming in a week or two and I can probably find something up there.

I didn't see powder there, but I wasn't looking. They were restocking the shelves yesterday but it's probably all gone now. They were stocking .308 at the time, but I didn't stick around to see what else.
