100 .40 S&W 180 gr. SWCL over .29 grams of AA #2. Home cast bullets made with wheel weights. Cold quenched to BHN ~25. Used the LEE tumble lube mold. Good reliable practice loads.
Just settled on a 6.8mm load for deer this season, assuming the regs get changed, so I'm loading more of those up to get the rifle zeroed and for practice.
Working on pounding out ALL my 9mm components before I have to return the production press to my brother...I still have about 3K left to pound out.
He owns the high production machine and I own the single station press. We trade based on what we need to run. I will usually just run a TON of 9mm at a time, lay them up in ammo cans and return the press. That frees up my bench for the fun reloading for accuracy I strive for in the 45 Colt and 44 mag..
I'm getting the supplies together and going to rat tail file the peep sight on the .50 smooth bore.
Will start close with .41" glass balls and then further out for .49 lead balls.
Then will set the elevation.
Probably about 5000 more military brass ready to size, trim and convert to 223.
About time to spend a bunch of money on primers, bullets and powder, though.
Time to get the press out and load up some 308's for the 1919. Tis the season to be shooting. I feel kinda lazy. I haven't loaded anything in 4-5 months. But I did reload a pretty good supply the last go round. The only thing I am shy on is 308 at the moment.
