    Started today with tracing paper from the great Wal, patching some wheel weight 280 grain .36 diameter spire points for the 9.3x74R.

    Not far from the tree
    243 with 85 gr. barnes tsx. 45.5 gr of hodgdon superperformance powder cronos 3220 and 1/2 groupes at 100yrds out of a t/c compass
    Great load for white tail.

    Cleaned and swaged some military 5.56x45 today. One more batch in the ultrasonic cleaner tonite. Did 100 rounds of 147gr fmj for the AR10 and laddered up a box of 50 for the new 6.5 CM Sako.

    Been working on some low recoil 9mm rounds using 147gr Hi-Tek Hoosier bullets and Titegroup. Think I've settled on 2.7gr and 1.14 OAL. 2.6 worked but at 2.5 I started having cycling issues with my M&P 2.0 9mm Compact.

    Still gotta get around to finishing them up but I’ve started on come 5.56 with some power pro 1200r powder and Hornsby 55gr fmj. First 5 seemed to outperform Remington umc out of my 10.5” PSA upper.

    plan to work up something for 77gr smk fmjbt as well.

    I have the same pistol but don't load 147's. I worked up a load with 125 gr TC Blue Bullets. 3.5 grains of TG and below created cycling issues. I eventually settled on 3.9 though I did run about 1000 rounds through it with 3.8. They ran fine.

    I've been mostly loading up 9mm 115gr's with TG as it's what I have the most of at the moment. Cheap fun shooting in my handguns and 9mm AR.

    I did a similar load last week with some of the Hoosier 124gr hi-tek. I used 3.8gr of TG with an OAL of 1.125

    After looking at current pricing, I may be pulling 9mm components out of storage for reloading.
    Its kept me shooting for the past year and a half. Even at the current $100(ish) box of primers that have recently started trickling in I am coming in cheaper than factory ammo prices and thats if you can even find the stuff still.

    I've got a bunch of .223 brass cleaned and ready to try out with some Hornady .50gr V-Max but dont know what powder I should try to look for. Anybody got suggestions or favorites for that combo?

    If it wasn't for my reloads I would have been done shooting a year ago. Since then I've put 8-10k reloads down range. I am not sure what this winter will bring me as I have less than 5k primers left and haven't been able to score any.

    Time will tell. If I could snag another 5k primers, I'd be good for another year.

    What's your price range? I'm looking for the same thing (as well as some more SRPs) and I'll let you know if I find any

    Personally prefer Winny or Federal, not a big fan of CCI but might have to go there. I would pay a little more for my usual choices

    I also prefer Federal but will use CCI and Winchester. Heck right now I'm working through 5K of some off brand. They seem to be fine though I do occasionally have one that seems tight. Could be the casing, could be a little lack of tight manufacturing tolerances on the primer's end.

    I forgot the name, Fort Smith or something like that.

    I'd like to be $0.10 for Federals.
