What Did You Reload Most Recently?

Some .38-Special at max standard pressure for 148 DEWCs which I cast myself. I have to shoot a police qualification next week with duty sidearm, plus any BUG or off-duty weapon. My BUG is a 442, and the rules allow firing reloads for qualification.
 
Plain-Jane .38 wadcutters using Berry's plated 148 gr. DEWC and 4.0 gr. of 231. We shoot a lot of plated bullets indoors in the winter.
 
I haven't done much reloading recently, instead dipping into my stash of loaded wadcutters for some good, solid centerfire-bullseye practice with my 686. I did load up 100 .38 wadcutters to stay topped off, though.

I just went and separated all of the brass I've recovered; a few days and some quality time spent with my tumbler and they should be ready to go.

I'm also looking into reloading my first bottle-neck cartridge: 32-20 WCF. I've got a line on a shooter-grade S&W Hand Ejector in that caliber and I'm kinda interested to see what it feels like. Slap an Aimtech mount on it and a modern UltraDot and use it for Centerfire in Bullseye...heh.
 
I just got done loading up 500 .38 specials 148 wadcutters over 3.4 grains Bullseye and CCI primer, I may do 500 more this afternoon.
 
.38 SPL, 3.6gr AA#2, 158gr LSWC Remington. Should be comparable to 3.5gr Bullseye, though the amount of air in the case makes me wonder. Well, I'll see how it shoots tomorrow at the range.
 
I still use a rockcrusher and just fixed a bunch of 45 acp 230gr XTP rounds that would not fit in my case gauge with the Lee Factory Crimp Die. That thing is a real good tool to have around when loading old brass, for me anyway.
 
500 rounds of 10MM for the weekend, tomorrow, .41 mag.

100 rounds of .45 ACP semi-wadcutters (185gr LSWC, 4.3gr AA#2) and 100 rounds of .44 Special semi-wadcutters (240gr LSWC, 6.3gr AA#5).
 
I have an 11.0 grain Unique load I use with my 329PD. It does not cycle the Desert Eagle. I loaded some 11.7, 12.8 and 13.3 grain Unique loads to try at the range. The 11.7 grain load FTE 1 out of 5 times. The 12.8 grain load fired smoothly all 10 rounds. It was also quite accurate at 10 yards.

Next step is to chronograph it, then shoot it at 25 yards off hand and then 50 yards from the bench.
 
30 carbine, this is my first time at reloading them, I came up with about 600 bullets cheap and have several pounds of 2400 that I picked up for 8 bucks a pound so I thought I would give this little gun a work out. Set up the Dillon and I was in business.
