About twice a month, been loading 100 rounds at a time of .45 ACP, 230 FMJ with 6 grains of Unique. Stocking up, I have access to full auto Thompson M1A1's in our armory, they need exercise and also have a hearty appetite!
Also load .38, .357, 10mm, .41 mag, .44 spcl/mag, .45 AR and .30-30, just not all in the same day.

Good deal Greg!
What was the load and distances? How long have you been reloading? Not long, right?

No sir, I've reloaded since I was a child. I haven't had the rifle long.
The load for the tight group was a max load of IMR 4895, CCI 200 primer, and 85 grain Ballistic Tip bullets.
Distance is 100 yards from sandbags on a bench.

Didn't actually reload anything recently, I've been saving to buy some components. Finally got the last order in, primers and 8lbs of powder, received my order from Bayou Bullets last week, two weeks ago got another order from Precision Delta and a week before that got a couple hundred 147gr XTPs from Hornady. Now I have to decide where to start!

Didn't get much time to reload this weekend, but did put together a few rounds of 45acp. Used up the last of my Berry's plated 230gr RN, and started loading up some 230gr RN cast by my father-in-law. Loaded with 6.0gr of Unique, OAL :1.265" , Crimp:.471", CCI#300 Primers.
Here's a pic of a few of them, had a hard time trying to get a close up pic, the cast lead got blurred by the flash.

I put 100 rounds of .357 Magnum down range yesterday. 158 grain plated semi-wadcutter with 6.1 grains of Unique.
Model 27-2 with a 5 inch barrel. Got some decent groupings.
Shot a few 148 grain wadcutters through a Model 15-2 as well. It was my first time shooting the Model 15. It's a buddy's gun and he brought it out for the first time. I just may have to get one.
There was another revolver as well. One from those folks in Hartford, Connecticut. It was alright, I guess.

I loaded up 200 rounds for my Garand.
HXP Surplus brass
CCI#34 primers
46.4gr H4895
150gr M2 surplus bullets
That is a great load in my M1 and I see no reason to change a thing!

I shot 75 rounds of 55gr FMJ .223 out of my M&P15 Sport and 40 rounds of 250gr 45colt out of my Rossi 92 rifle. I have already decapped them all and ran them through the tumbler. I wont work on the .223's but I hope to have the 45 colts loaded with .225gr Hornady FTX's over 12.5gr of Longshot.
p.s. I have done some research and my Rifle will handle a little over 40k cup and my rounds are running around 35k cup. 9.1gr of longshot with a 225ftx loaded into full length cases (I dont have to trim) give me almost 1200fps.

Those bullets are less than a quarter of a grain? How do you even see them?
