What did you reload today?

[carpriver]

Over the last two days I have cleaned de-primed resized and trimmed and loaded 500 M1 Carbine rounds 13.3 grains of IMR 4227 under a 110g Remington round nose soft point bullet. Now I need to find more bullets I have brass powder and primers.

I load my 110 gr cast GC'd bullet over 13 grs of 2400. Works well in all my carbines.

Several calibers . 44-40 using the LEE 200gr RNFP sized .427 over IMR 4227 for my Marlin rifle . About 100 38spl cases loaded with the LEE 148gr WC over 2.8 grs of Bullseye . The other day I reloaded some 45acp using a 230gr plated RN bullet on top of Winchester 572 powder . I had never used it before but I really like it so far . Regards Paul

I got my Missouri Bullets today.....

...and I'm in the process of reloading about 300 more 9mm rounds than the 150 I started last week. I had the cases primed and ready so all I had to do was charge and seat, charge and seat. And they are plunking well. I think I've finally discovered the right 'touch' for 9mm. I've always tended to use way too much force on everything but I'm getting over it. I only have a few 'non-plunkers' that I need to look at.

PS: I HATE .380s getting into my 9mm range pick ups. I must have thrown 50 of them into the recycle. And I have a really hard time reading the headstamps on most of them. A long .380 can look like a short 9mm. But I get them weeded out, though it is a PITA.

Wow. I must be a real blabber mouth......

Have been cleaning up my reloading bench. Suprised at what I found. A 5 gallon bucket of 45ACP brass, 3 or 4 thousand 9mm's and other misc. stuff. My tumbler is working overtime. My 550 will be working overtime to catch up. I've been a member for a lon, long time, but this is my first post. This forum has been a wealth of information.

My friend just got a .30 carbine...

It's been his 'grail gun' for a long time. Royal Tiger Imports got a big batch in from Ethiopia and the prices are pretty good. They might have some left if anybody wants to spend about $1200.

Straightening my reloading shelves last weekend I found 700-800 cast and lubed 124gn .356 projectiles that have probably been sitting there since the last ammo shortage. I've not cast 9mm projectiles for awhile. So today I started loading them in 9x19 cases over 3.6 gns of Bullseye. the primers are marked $19.95 per K so they are probably also left over from the last shortage.

 

[DR505]

I recently loaded up a whole bunch of Oregon Trail 200 grain hard cast SWC in .45 ACP. I just filled up 100 moon clips and am ready to break out my 625-6.

 

[pasound]

Loaded some Berrys 158gr Flat Point for .38spl. Universal instead of 231 - trying out a new powder (to me). Loaded warm but not hot. 25 tryouts for the range, 225 left to finish the experiment.

 

[max503]

Lee 125 grain TL wad cutter lubed with Lee liquid alox. Bullets are unsized. Using 5 grains of Unique in 38 special. I loaded half normal and half inverted.
The regular ones shot good out of my Model 15 S&W. The inverted ones shot good out of my S&W 638, but they might be too hot for that little J Frame.
I'll stick with normal seating and shoot them out of the Model 15 Combat Masterpiece. Should be a good woods walking load.

A friend had some old stock Unique he didn't want so he gave me a couple pounds recently.

My go to 45 acp powder is 700-X with a load of 4.7 grains behind a 230 grain RN pill. So, I experimented with the Unique for a good load. Started at 5.0 grains with a 230 grain RN. This charge cycled the SR1911 well but was too light.

I bumped up to 5.5 grains which was much better. However, it was still a tad light. I figured 5.8 grains of Unique should be good. Loaded 100 of then to try out next trip...

Haven't reloaded a single round, my lee turret press dies and powder drum should be in by the end of the week and I'll set her up !

 

[Turn4811]

Used the RockChucker to work up some 10mm with CFEpistol. I have 135gr Frangable FP and 180gr FMJ FP loads worked up and ready for a range day with the Chrony.

 

[Mike SC Hunter]

Reloaded 2 1/2" 410's and cast/cleaned 70 lbs. of lead pucks for my shotmaker. Sunday/Monday unloaded 6 bxs. of 410's on my skeet field.

 

[Nevada Ed]

Did some 12 Ga. trap and skeet loads a while back and just finished some 38 and 9mm to refill my ammo boxes.

I feel for you if the shotgun hulls are getting low and you have to buy new ones for your future loadings, for what they are selling for.

Right now I am getting ready to take inventory on my loaded ammo for my deer rifles, just in case I get a deer tag, in my state. Not an easy thing to do with all the new people that have moved in to the area over the last ten years.
I have three different size calibers that I use, and will have to test three different load in two of them and see how the old standby does in the third rifle.
At my age, I am hoping for a shot at or inside of 100 yards but 300-400 is doable, IF the terrain will allow access to the deer with the 4x4's.

Venison is nice to have but I have learned that there are other foods that
will make me happy and keep me out of the Emergency room !!

Later.

10mm 200 Grain WFNGC under 13 grains Accurate #9 ...

Oh...I like that bullet. What mold is that and do you suppose it's available in 180-185 gr? That's nice.

Over the last few days I've concentrated on 240 gr RNFP cast over H110 and IMR 4227 for 44 Mag.

 

[38SPL HV]

Me again, using up some AA5 which I have around...

Cartridge: 38 Spl +P
Powder: 6.4 grs AA5
Bullet: Speer 158 gr LSWCHP
Cases: Starline
Primers: Fed 100 primers,
OAL: 1.455” OAL
Approximate velocity (S&W 642 1 7/8”): 800 FPS
Comments: Another Rem/Fed/Win “FBI” level load. A little “dirtier” compared with my Power Pistol 38 Spl +P equivalent. I use 7.1 grs AA5 with Keith 358428 for a real good 38-44 loading for my Ruger 357 Mag (ref: Handloader Oct 2016 article)...haven’t chronographed this 38-44 load but it is very accurate.).

Wild Horses

Yesterday; 45 Colt.

Found 35 cartridges (G.F.L. brand).
36 with Alliant Red Dot (my current plinking reload).
5 with Alliant Power Pistol (just to try in the 45Colt).
4 with Alliant Unique. (just to try again, and I finally
ran out of the 4lbs RD that took years).

Interesting note; all flash holes are not centered.
