Loaded 450 45acp with 6.2 gr. Of BE-86 under 185 grain Hi-Tek RN. On the Lee ABLP
Well Saturday I pressed primers into 12 444m cases charged them with rl7 and then went looking for my lee c430- 310rf but realized I had none lube sized and it was late afternoon. So I dumped the powder back out and put cases away for the night. Sunday I lubsized a small pile of boolits 431 with gas checks and finished my loading. Starting at 40gr going two 43 in a ladder. Test sometime still haven’t tested the 308s I made back a few months
fixed a dumb mistake...pulled 50 300bo which I loaded with .312 bullets...lol
I'm loading a batch of Lee 105 SWC bullets; some PC'd and some tumble lubed over 4 grs of AA#2 for some .38 Special fun this weekend.

Finished point forming this batch of .224 fron or brass.
Loaded a batch of 44 Specials - 6.8 grains of Unique with home cast tumble lubed non quenched .430" 240 grain SWC's.
Got j word bullets in from Midway, 243 dies in from Hi.. have powder and primers, and cases. Guess have no excuse now to load some to try out.
Sized/gas checked/lubed a few hundred 22-55 fp boolits to .225 and loaded 50 rounds of 223 to try in my bolt gun. Man, those litttle tiny gc's are a pain!!
finally counted, sorted, marked via stamp, and then stacked all of my various leads and alloys.
Now I know what I have on hand, and it's in easy to grab/use spaces on some custom junky shelves I made. I also melted down all of the odd pig and muffin ingots I have and now have them all in either pound or half pound ingots.. much easier to use. The 2# muffin ingots stack nice.. but kill pot temperature in a 10# pot.
I opened up my Star 225 sizing die the other day to 226. So this morning was spent putting a second powder coat on the already sized boolits to resize them to 226. Then powder coated and gas checked and sized another 200 boolits. Only a few thousand more to do...
Loaded up 48 rounds of 44-40 with a Lee 200gn RF over some Longshot for the Son in Law.
I loaded a pile of 223. 50 with 2400 and the rest with IMR4895. I want to compare these loads to the ones i shot when i put the new scope on. They were loaded with red dot and varget. After i was done loading. I vacuumed the man cave. I seam to get tumbling media on the carpet. No matter how careful i am.
Not in the reloading room but ran 12 444marlin loads I made last weekend over my chronograph and out to 50m (54yards) here are the results.

Goal is a dangerous game load for grisly and black bare defence think I got it :mrgreen:
Vacuumed the reloading room. Sorted through all my buckets, bags, and bins of brass. Found several pieces of some obscure brass I. The bins: 30 American Army, 32 Win Special, 440-40, 32-20, and much more. I keep finding all kinds of treasures in the bins of reloading components I inherited from a dear friend.

I powder coated the last of my Lee 105 SWCs, finally caught up on powder coating. I did a ton of Lee 125 LRNs, the .452 200gr LRNs and these 105 SWCs a long time ago and never got around to powder coating them after I ran out of HF Red. I went up to Eastwood which isn't far off and got some dark blue from them. It seems pretty good, guess we'll know when we shoot it. I do need to resize now, but I need to get a press set up and fixed for that first.
still lock down here so i did a bit of casting 100x340gr 457 boolits and 100x190gr 358 boolits.tumble lubed.
Finally got my star lubrisizer to agree with my paraffin and bees wax based lube. And finished sizing/living the last batch of 115 gr .355.
Loaded 100 10mm - gonna do this for the next few days until I load all the 10s. I've got about 300 to go.
Sized 500 223 cases, loaded 120 223 for the range tmro with powder coated boolits, and checked, powder coated, and sized 200 223 boolits. It was a 223 kinda night.
I noticed that I needed to replenish my supply of 30-30 cast loads. So I combined some C309170F @.309", LLA, 25grs of 3031 with CCI primers - a classic recipe that my rifle and I like- a lot.
