Got my first reloads ever done! I did some Hornady 158 XTPs 38 special on top of Unique, Bullseye, and AA#5. A nice variety of loads to see what is most accurate out of my model 15 and baby chiefs special.

.357 wadcutter cat sneeze loads. They won't penetrate a 1 inch pine board, but they make nice holes in paper.

Today:
357 magnum with 158 grain Oregon Trail LSWC
10.4 grains of AA#7
WSPM primer
50 rounds
Yesterday
38 Special with Hornady 158 grain LSWC
3.1 grains of Clays (accurate, soft shooting, clean)
WSP primer
50 rounds
All on my Lee Hand Press. Metered the Clays through my Lee Perfect Powder Measure. Flaky stuff dropped more consistently than I ever imagined. I dropped 10 loads into my scale pan and weighed it. Came out at 31.2 grains. Incredible.
All the Best,

55 rounds of 44 special. Starline brass, cci 300, 4.5 gr of HP-38 with a 240gr lswc...very accurate out of my new Ruger Lipsey .44 special. A very light load, great for taking out the heart of paper targets.
JD500: those Barnes Varmint Grenades are just what the name implies! I was totally impressed on a Wyoming prairie dog hunt this summer. Loaded some of the 36 gr. VGs to about 3500 fps in my .223... red mist with solid upper body hits! Loaded mine with AA-2230.
Most recent loads? Those 800 rds. of .223 and 400 of .357 I loaded for the p-dog hunt. Time now to cast bullets and load .44 mag hunting ammo for the upcoming deer season. 245 gr. Thompson design cast HP/GCs over AA-9 for about 1100 fps. out of the Ruger flattop or 6 1/2" 29-2.

I loaded all my bullets in my cabinet in 223. I exhausted all the brass, powder & bullets. That's about 2000 rounds over several nights. All the 223 ammo in placed in military ammo cans ready for me when I decide to bring out a black rifle.

I just got done developing a whitetail load for the 500 S&W with an 8 3/8" barrel.
I used Hodgon Trail Boss powder because its very bulky, fills the case eliminating possabilty of SEE (secondary explosion effect) large pistol primers made by cci,(I have old 500 brass made for pistol primers do not mix brass) and an RCBS 340 gr swc mold using wheel weights.
The Load:
14 gr Trail Boss
Corbon Brass (lg pistol)
cci lg pistol primer
340 lead cast
The load speed is just 1100fps as I said its a whitetail load I don`t need 2600fps to kill a deer, also its kinder to the landscape after full penatration.
I employ a heavy crimp in the crimping groove of the bullet this ensures better burn of the powder in a shorter barrel.
Regulary hitting B27 at 200 yds from rest.
You can shoot this load all day long no pain lots of fun.

Working on two projects:
180 Gr LFP GC .357 load for hunting Pigs and Deer out of a Marlin 1894. So far using 296 and it has been a bit disappointing, as i don't have Mag SP primers am going to try SR.
69 gr Sie. HPBT MK over Varget. I Need a good accuracy load for my AR and a Savage bolt gun. The Savage is remarkably accurate and the AR can be, but rarely is.

I loaded 100 rounds of .44 Russian today. Starline brass, Federal LP primers, 4.5 grains of Winchester 231, and 200 grain copper plated lead bullets from Xtreme Bullets. This is my plinking load for my .44 Special 696 revolver.

LEFT shoulder? What press are you running?
I did another 400 rounds of .45 ACP last night. Then DIDN'T go to the match this morning because I no longer get off shooting all morning in a cold rain. Makes taping targets tough, also.
