What did you do in the reloading room today?

[cwlongshot]

Loaded a few hundred #4 birdshot loads.

Then I loaded 6 "experimental" sabo slugs with data I have just kind of determined based on the slug and my wad/shell... Loaded nicely went light on the powder - we'll see.

Attachment 267494

And loaded 2 "experimental" buckshot rounds with 8 pelets.... Loaded nice, we'll see how that goes.

I have t loaded buck shot... I have loaded countless shotshells. Im gonna dust off my MEC presses and press them back into duty!!

I need to find a supplier for felt and card wads. Herters is long long gone...

I loaded up my 275 gr. WFNGC bullets for my 43 Magnum Henry rifle.Now if I can only stop my scope mount from shaking loose.

[Bookworm]

Fired some 7.62x54r rounds over the chrono from my M39. 16gr 2400 powder, Lee C312-185 boolit. 1500 fps.

Decapped, cleaned the primer pockets, and washed the 20 pieces of brass.
Yep, washed. In hot soapy water, and used a brush on the inside of the necks.

The brass is out on the porch waiting for the fog to burn off, then maybe the sun will dry everything up.

Is that where my 45-70 cartridge went?

I loaded up 50, 44 mags for deer season and 50 ,45 Colts for deer season to go along with 50 of my 45-70's that I loaded up for deer season. Gee,I wonder which rifle I will take hunting with me this year. At any rate, I have enough ammo to get my one deer.

Yesterday I tried out a power case trimmer that will remain nameless. One of the set screws kept coming loose so I was getting inconsistent case lengths. So today I pulled out a case gauge and it had very light rust on it. Pulled out every other case gauge and placed them in evaporust for a few hours. Rinsed them off, oiled them up well and placed them in the bag which I put oil in as well. Guess I forgot to oil them over the past few years. Ordered up some airtight containers so I don’t have this problem in the future.

Well I bought a lb of rl7 while on a fishing trip vacation I do each year, but that’s it and the fishing trip was successful to.

After owning my Marlin Guide Gun for about 6 years, I FINALLY got a few cast bullets (cast two years ago) loaded yesterday. Today, hopefully, I will test for proper feeding and run them downrange, to check velocities, monitor pressures, and hope that I can keep them on paper.

These are 430 WNGC bullets, and my first attempt at powder coating! The process start to finish, presented lots of challenges! This was my first time using RL 7, boy, it sure meters nicely through my 60+ year old Ideal Powder measure!

I need to hurry up with my loading/testing. I like to do load development on hot days, to minimize the possibility of “over pressure” situations on a hot day when out shooting. I don’t think I have many 90 degree days left this year!

Will soon.....go shoot a few light load, 300 grain, powder coated, cast bullets, that I loaded for my 460 XVR. After a near 30 year hiatus, I’m slowly getting back! memtb

[memtb]

Hey Doc, I wish that my 430’s for my 45-70 were as “purrty” as yours! memtb

[DocSavage]

Been playing with a 6.5 grendel 130 gr gc,17.5 gr IMR 4198 was starting load trying 18 gr next. Howa miniaction Hornandy brass,CCI primers and mold from NOE.

BREAKING NEWS ———In my previous post about an hour ago, I indicated that step#1 today, would be feed verification .....Rounds fed beautifully! Later today, we’ll get her on paper! memtb
