Spring Field Echelon. Got a couple thousand rounds through it bye now. Only issue is my fault. The only load that is really accurate with my MP 356-358-NLG boolits is too soft to cycle properly...

Loaded 18 556 rounds to test. All H335 24.5 under 55 gr FMJ BT SP.
Fired 12 rounds today to nail down an accurate load. Hoping this is it.

Been going over 5.56 brass that I sized and prepped a year ago and resetting shoulder lengths to -.002 or .003 than retiming as needed.

Finally made sense of the concept of pushing the shoulder back 0 to 3 000s”. or so .From the fire formed brass from my 5.56 and how to setup the die. About time.

Finally set a date of April 1 to quit doing 9 mm and start on a 556. Spent part of Easter cleaning up and switching over. Ended up with about 2500 MP 356– 358 – NLG – BB At round 132 grs. Loaded and...

Got out to shoot some test rounds that have been waiting for temperatures in rise to 20’ or higher so the chrono would work. Testing with faster powder on my 132gr cast boolits. The results are...

Been doing lots of measuring for max COL for a couple of S A 9mm. MP 356 358 NLG BB. 132 gr. 8 cavity mold. My measurements are consistently inconsistent. I realized hay 8 holes in aluminum how...

PCd the green boolits today. MP 356-358 NLG BB. 131.5-131.9 gr. .356”. About 1200+. Build a certain around my oven to keep the fumes out of the room and out the fan. Does a good job. 322568....

Got the red ones PCd (132.0-132.4gr) green blue and black to go.

I appreciate the advice I have sucked it up and loaded up ladders of AA #2, and #5, Tight Group, Win 244, When it warms up enough for the chronograph we’ll see.

Been diligently working up loads looking for accuracy from my new SA Echelon with my MP-136-138-RN NLG BB boolits AA#7 pwd and cci 500 primers. I’m new at this but never been so difficult before. ...

Cast 26lbs of MP 356-358 RN BB NLG throws 8 at a time. 75 min two full pots of RCBS bottom pour. 1300 boolits before cull. Lovin that mold.

Dumped the AA#7 out and put the little bit of CFE Pistol that’s left into the hopper and loaded 40 ladder loads to test. Need to wait for the temperature to go up from -10 degrees to +20 before I can...

Unloaded about 700 9mm 147 gr I loaded last year when my progressive was brand new. What a dirty job. Had never unloaded before cept for a few hammer jobs. After I blew up my XDM last month I got...

Bought a used XDM 9mm 4.5 like the one I blew up and swooped the springs and things from the dead one including the red dot that rides in dove tail. Went out and sighted it in. All went well.

Separating by head stamp and length a few hundred 9mm with clean primer pockets to load some tests. Still trying to get my new echelon to shoot straight. It may never meet my expectations set by the...

Tumbled about 700 9mm to polish the primer pockets. They look so good think I’ll do the rest of the 5000 while I’m at it. I can’t seem to be able to get the loads to shoot straight. Working with AA...

Loaded up 9mm tests rounds in 4 steps for three different powders AA 2-5-7. 60 rounds to test. By around 3 pm. It’s to dark for the chrono and it takes real planning to get to the range while it’s...
