    I haven’t been able to find any H4350 so I’m using my on-hand IMR 4350. And yes, I got the Barnes bullets hoping to find good performance for their budget cost. Initial weight sorting wasn’t all that promising, but we shall see!

    Just loaded my 1st 45 ACPs. About 500 of them. Mixed brass with Blue Bullets (230grn) and Sport Pistol. They shoot great, Loaded them a bit light about 8% less than max load data.

    Just finished 1500 45 ACP target loads for indoor bullseye competition. Mixed Federal/Winchester brass, 185gr Zero swaged SWCHP bullet, 3.8 gr VV N310, Winchester large pistol primers, 1.250" OAL, crimped to .470" just enough to straighten the brass from expansion.

    Finally stepping into the 300 blackout game.

    Processed my own 300 brass from some FC 556 cases. Used my 650 with a Honeybadger trimmer adapter and a Lyman 300 trim die. I think they turned out great and it trimmed fairly consistent.

    Will be doing some 125gr SST Supers and 220gr Berry's Subs. Will probably work up some accuracy loads on the subs and load up while I wait on NFA jail.

    Today or tomorrow hopefully going to try out some Lyman #403169 cast with soft lead in the percussion forty bore. Started swaging them down to .399" diameter yesterday.

    I'm working on finding an accurate load for the 165gr SST in 308 Winchester. I tried Winchester 748 no luck, tac improved it some but not great. I have one more load of tac to try if that doesn't do the job I'm going to buy some varget and try it. Starting to think this barrel doesn't like this bullet.

    ugh oh. I just bought 200 30cal 165 SSTs for my 308 because I’ve had good luck in other calibers. I have some varget and cfe223 so hopefully I can find some accuracy with those

    Just did a 500rnd run of 230 grain 45ACP using Blue bullets and Sport Pistol. I had to use all small pistol primer brass since I was out of LPP!

    357 and 44 which I have reloaded for over 30 years now. But now with the unavailability of ammo I am loading 9mm again too. And 223 , have loaded that even when ammo was plentiful as I use it for target shooting.

    I remember those days. 3 boys 1 girl all loved to shoot. Then dad introduced them to semiautomatic firearms. Thats when reloading became a weekly need. Now that they are grown up outcof the house its usually when they come to visit that i find i have to catch up on replacement of what was used.
