What did you load today?

38 special. 105 grain swc's that I cast myself, over .3 cc's (a little over 2 grains) of Unique to shoot out of my air weight snub nose for double action practice. Full power loads out of an air weight hurt my hand. I ain't no superman.

After stripping down just under 800 rounds of 9mm loaded with wrong powder and bullet for my guns (Hornady Cam Lock Bullet Puller for 9mm?) and then 500 competition rounds after deciding to change powders, I hit the reloading bench for 90 minutes this afternoon.

Thos 500 competition rounds are now loaded with the new powder, 4.7 gn W231 under a 124 gn plated round nose bullet. All I need to do now is barrel drop the rounds and I'm good to go for the first comp of the year in 4 weeks time.

After reloading and firing off as practice rounds most of the cases for the "wrong" 9mm in both my Kimber 1911 and Tanfolglio P19 fitted to a carbine frame load, I filled the last 260 with the same 4.7 gn W231 with a 125 gn LRN sitting on top. These I will fire off in the next week or two in my practice sessions. Interestingly those LRN bullets are reclaimed too after they proved not to be that accurate at distances over 15 meters with the old powder (Tightgroup) in my Tanfolglio CZ75alike. But I resorted to using them after running out of my 124 PRN projectiles. The supplier is out of stock and new stock is not due into the country until the 26th of this month. I can't wait that long to shoot.
 
About 80 more 45 ACP "Just n Case" ammo; mixed brass, CCI LP primers, 5.0 Bullseye under a 230 FMJ. Works quite well in my 3, 45 ACP guns. Ups my stash to about 1,100 rounds...

I shoot these rounds for "trigger time" and keep them handy in case we have to evacuate, they are in a bag next to 2 grab and go pistols (tsunami, forest fires, etc.)...
 
Loaded 100 110 grain 300 Blackout, 200 115 grain 9 x 19, and 200 200 grain 45 ACP rounds.

Just finished testing some 10mm and 38 Supers. They ranged from mild to 100 proof. Now it's time to add the results to my database for future reference.
