What did you shoot/reload today?

[Skip Sackett]

Just wondering what you fine folks loaded and or shot today.

Personally, I shot my M25 -7, 45 Colt, with the hollow point version of my Mihec 45-270SAA over 9.0gr of Unique.


How about you?

Cleaning brass now and going to reload it later!

I'm also going to make some with my alox/JPW dip lube to see if that's better, worse, or no difference. I'm thinking if this works as well as my .30-30 loads do then I may just use alox/JPW for all my cast loads. I need to make some time and cast some with the penta pins and the small round pins.

 

[sheriffoconee]

32-20, got the cases sized, primed and ready for the boolits...just gotta drop the powder, seat and crimp....
My ol' partner picked up a Martini cadet 310 today in great shape, and he is making brass from 32-20 brass, should be a fun project...
I will be reloading 38 and 44 spl over the holidays as well

 

[Troystat]

Have not been out in 3 weeks but last time I shot my model 27 with two different loads. 148 bevel base wadcutters with 3.3 grains of bullseye in 38 special brass. Also shot 125 grain jhp on top of a stiff load of W296 in .357 brass those are some flame throwers.

 

[NKJ nut]

I didn't do any loading today but last night I loaded some .45 ACP ammo with 6.2 grs. of Herco and a 225 gr. FP cast bullet and shot it this morning in my M-10. i also shot a Hi-Standard .22 Derringer...with 60 gr. SSS.

rain and wind

Howdy,
It is rainy and windy here today. Good day to load and eat soup.
I recently picked up a Rem. 600 in .223 (re-barreled) and am trying to make a 22-250 out of it. Loaded up 30 rounds, in ten round lots of IMR 3031, H 322, H 335.
As soon as the wind lays I'll see how they do.
Thanks
Mike

 

[Smith357]

Something else, I'm currently working up .303 blanks. No real loading, just some trimming sizing and priming. I'm still researching the load.

 

[Black_Talon]

Loaded 50rds of 38 Spl target loads using Rem 148 HBWC and WW WST powder. Will shoot them tomorrow.

 

[lazy]

Checked on my posting about 125 jhp and H110, thanks everyone for the help. Been looking to make some booooooming bullets for my .357, im starting to think Alliant products may be the answer. Drooled about loading bullets for awhile. Made arangements with Tony to come chronographing some time this weekend.

I have my final for accounting Thursday at 1, and profession selling at 6, so its been nothing but cramming credits, debits, and customer relationship management. Also stopped by the VA facility across the street and dropped off a Christmas card to my doctor thanking her for my life.

 

[venomballistics]

I was sizing a large accumulation of 30 caliber pattern of 1906
I have not determined exactly what Im going to load them with as yet ... but it may make for an interesting post here later

 

[semperfi71]

I have been working on 125 grain bullets in my 4 inch .357 Magnum Python for several months now. Trying to find the most accurate load and bullet combination.

So today I loaded VitaVhouri N110 and Ramshot Enforcer with all the different brands of 125 grain hollowpoints I can find. Nine different bullets total.

Off to the range tomorrow to shoot the Python, a M66-1 2 1/2 inch, and a Colt Police Positive Special 2 inch.

 

[shep854]

Yesterday, I was seduced and won over by a civilian M1917, so we got acquainted over a box of commercial .45 ACP. Needless to say, my safe is now a bit more crowded.

 

[Paul5388]

+1 on the VA and Lazy's service! I don't know that they've saved my life, but they have kept me going.

.35-200 RCBS in .357 Mag brass with a good dose of 2400. I still need to clock them, but getting the loading room back in shape is taking a lot of time.

 

[Treeman]

.44 Special plinking loads today.-Tomorrow who knows?!

 

[Norsky]

Surprised that .22 was not in the list - well at least for shoot today. I reload and shoot both .38 Spl and .45 ACP; however, will still shoot more .22 than both Center Fires combined.

 

[Davwingman]

Loaded about 250 of 158 gr. LRN for 38 special. Probably shoot them fri.

 

[Skip Sackett]

lazy,
Glad you are still with us and are now sharing in a hobby you helped us still have by your sacrifice! If it wasn't for folks like you, we would be speaking some other language and our Constitution would be completely defunct.

Best to you on your finals!

Jessie,
Good to hear from you. Long time no see or hear from!

This is good, keep them coming folks!


p.s. 22lr isn't on the list because you cannot reload it. That was one thought behind the "something else" category!

 

[ronnie gore]

load and shoot

i have been on a marathon loading of 357 mag. with a 160 grain roundnose flat point bullet for my lever action rifles, have 2000 loaded now ,also shot some through both my marlin and my rossi to check for function, worked great.

 

[Maximumbob54]

I'm dying on remembering the name, but someone used to offer a .22LR reloading kit. I have seen them pop up for sale. I had to ask how they work since I didn't get how you would reprime them. It had something to do with liquid you drop in an allow to dry. Neat idea but I'm sure the cost and time factor didn't make for hot and heavy sales. I also doubt it was the only kit of its kind.

 

[Mike SC Hunter]

Surprised that .22 was not in the list

Should be. Last night i killed a doe with my 2" 34.........After she met the front bumper of my truck and was trying to crawl away.........Burn lots of .22's off the back deck and front porch this time of the year.

Merry Christmas and May God Bless..............Mike
