What did you do in the reloading room today?

[Jim Draper]

I only did some 9mm today. I think I got about 400 and decided that was enough.

Getting closer

Have you found a recipe yet for 6.5 StaBall powder. I found one that worked for me. But had to start setting the bullets back to find the node for the rifle. Got it the groups down to just under .5. Berger bullets, staball powder, CCI magnum LR primers and Hornady brass.

Yeah I have. But I want to get my SD under 10. So I will try a few other charges on each side of it. I also will need to tune harmonics with seating depth to tighten up the group.

I guess I’ll be chambering these by hand

I ended up getting down to .076" jump on my 140 VLD'S when the holes became a hole

I remember you saying how your Bergara was a deep throated lady.

For the past few days I have been loading .223 cases with H335 and 50 gr. v-max bullets and CCI 450 primers.
All my 30 round P mags are now full and in ammo cans along with some bagged loose bullets.
You can fit 16 mags in the large ammo cans. 600 rounds per can with some loose ammo bagged in there.
Some are charged with N133 powder and all mags labeled as to what is in them.

Now more brass sizing and prep for the 55gr bullets.

I am using the Lee Perfect Powder Measure and it drops right on 25.5 gr every time for my 50gr bullets.
55gr I will weigh on a beam scale that takes much longer and it will be H4895 for the next few hundred and in F-C cases fully prepped including annealing.

See youse next week

Hoping to beat the heat in the AM.

Well, I mowed the East Benchrest range Wednesday morning. Now you can see the 300 yard line.

Deprimed, shoulders bumped .001", trimmed, chamfered, deburred, primed with 7 1/2's, charged and loaded the 20 rounds I fired yesterday.

No unworked brass left in the house.
