Loaded up 20 .40cal with Berry's 165gr for my SW M&P and IMR Target to try and work up a load. Last weekend I used the same 165gr and Bullseye. Worked but shot low and right.

Put some primers in some 30/30 brass and put a LOT of .45 ACP brass into a LFRB to trade for a set of 30/30 a.i. dies......

Did I ever mention that I hate to trim brass?
Made up some Emmert's lube.
Yesterday I poured 45 to 50 pounds of .431 boolits for my .44 Mag and 445 Super Mag then sized them that evening. Now, today I'm lubing and loading a batch of boolits I casted a couple weeks ago to go shoot this afternoon. . .Mother Nature permitting.
Loaded more .40 S&W 155gr over 5.8 gr Unique.
QUIS CUSTODIET IPSOS CUSTODES?
Tried a couple of .40cal loads and found that a 165gr Berrys plated over 5.0gr IMR Target avgs at 950fps or so and is dead center. The M&P does not like powder puff loads it would seem

Loaded 300 rounds of .45 Colt with the Lee 200 gr FRN over 6.5 grains of 700X for a nice light load in the Blackhawks and Vaqueros. Then mixed up some 10:1 lanolin lube and sized some LC brass in 5.56.
Trying a few loads of 11 gr Herco in a 30/30. Going to shoot them to fire form the cases...
I just can't shoot toilet tissue or other stuff to fire form. I like to see holes in the target. Just wish I had some lighter boolits to load.....

Loaded 50 x45-70 over 20 gr 2400 with quarter sheet of toilet paper as a filler .tried some with no filler on Sunday shot gun type patten ,if I tipped up my marlin then fired, nice tight group .never thought 2400 was position sensitive learn something new everyday.
Got out the turkey fryer smelter, and getting setup for the weekend, as I have 410 lbs. of range pickups, to melt down for casting. I have been waiting for a cooler weekend, without rain. Just picked up propane, and I'm all set.
Melted around 30lbs of wheel weights into ingots and separating the Fe and Zn from the lead. I have about 150 more lbs to go through before I start casting.
Backsliding a bit by loading long range 8x57 mm with Hornady 170gr SST. I want to try CFE 223 based on the velocity/ pressure ratio shown in the Hodgdon magazine format manual.
Prepared some 308 and 45-70 brass sized expanded sonic cleaned once there dry tumbler to shine them up.
I loaded some 40 year old virgin brass.
