100 rounds of 6.5x284 norma!
What did you load today?
- Thread starter dr. mordo
- Start date
50 rds of 357 - 5.7gr Universal under a 158gr LSWC. Fairly tame load, but I wanted some light magnums to run thru my new Chiappa Rhino snub at the range tomorrow. I've also got 200rds of 38 SPL handloads, about 100 of Remington UMC 38 SPL +P, and maybe 40 full tilt American Eagle 158gr 357 JSP.
I'm bringing the chrono and several different factory defensive loads to test as well.
It's gonna be fun!

Loaded the last 100 of 500
.45 ACP rounds consisting of a 200 gn PFP bullet over Tighhtgroup loaded to a 178 PF. (I won't publish it here as it is slightly over the recommended max load but in my SA 1911 all published data was low).
Cases were new Winchester brass recently purchased. This ammo is for our IPSC Nationals in late November. (I shoot our North Islands this weekend and 10 days later start our big road trip. I only get back into the country again 5 days before the Nationals start).
This gives me around 1100 loaded competition rounds (primer seating double checked in a press out primer after original loading in Lee Auto Prime and then barrel dropped into a very dirty chamber) as well as 300-400 practice rounds remaining (primers not double checked and not barrel dropped).

.40 S&W 180 grain Zero TCFM with 4.2 grains of 231. Then change the Dillon over to .357 to load some 'indoor' loads just under 900 fps.
Yesterday I worked on some 45 Colt reloads. My cast 255 RNFP, from 20-1, alloy was loaded over some True Blue in once fired Winchester brass. For my new Cimarron SAA...

Just finished 300 .222 Remington cases. Loaded every 20 with different bullet / powder combinations.
I got back into the .222 business after an absence of 5 years by purchasing both a 1997 built Rem. 700 BDL and a brand new CZ 527 American Varmint heavy barrel.
An anxious to get to the shooting range I built at the cabin I own part of in a nearby mountain county..............soon!

Just finished loading 5 groups of 5 Barnes 140gr Match Burners with RL17. Went with .2gr difference between each group. All .030 off the lands. Then did 3 groups of 5 using the new Sierra 130gr Game Changers. Again with Rl17, and change of .3gr per group. All .020 off the lands.

Tonight I resized and decapped around 200 44 Mag cases, then primed 500 44 Mag cases. And I just finished loading up 100 with 9.5 grains of Unique topped off with coated MBC 240 grain RNFP "Smashers". That was the last of my MBC bullets. Tomorrow I will load the rest with some Zero 240 grain JSP bullets with a few various powders. I'm thinking of loading some with 2400, maybe another 100 or so with some HP38 and maybe some with some Blue Dot and Longshot.
