So.. what are you reloading at the moment??

[turnerdye1]

Yes it was, lol
She sent him a message with the offer and a phone # up front, saying the offer, have ben franklins, we are in Marion, can be in FW in 45 min.
He owns a small contracting business,
Said he got this in a gun trade and didn't need it.
The only thing missing it the clear tubing on the case drop I believe. It will be convenient now not to have to swap over primer sizes.

Exactly why I wanted it lol. I’ve got a really old beat up 650 for case prepping 223 and 300blk. I nice 650 I bought probably 10 years ago for small stuff

Nothing fancy just 124 fmj over 4.2 AA #2 in mixed 9mm brass. Bullets though are .356 as those were available when everything else had started to disappear at the start of the pandemic. I guess the 38 Super description kept them in inventory longer.

Prepping more .270 brass. I found 100 Cor-Locs and another 100 Nosler BT.

 

[bgcatty]

Needed to replenish my .38 Special target loads so I did 600 rounds with LSWC on a Dillon RL550 in about 1.75 hours.

 

[movevio1]

12 gauge blackpowder for the wow factor

 

[Michigan Slim]

Making a lifetime of .270. Finally got the brass done.

 

[bmbutch]

Did 200 230gr Blue Bullet .45 with 4.6 Bullseye, got new P220 Legion, hoping to take her out tomorrow for some pew pew fun.

 

[tomcat13]

45 acp, 230g FMJ over 4.8g of Bullseye in once-fired/re-sized brass with Winchester LPP to set em off.

 

[Hawkj]

300 Blackout with 125 gr sierra pro hunters and 19 gr of H110. Good plinking round

I'm working up a load for 9mm using RMR 124gr HP.
My load is upto 5.4gr AutoComp mixed brass.

Avg fps 1147 from a 4" barrel.

ES 69

SD 28

I'm not happy with this current load.

Going to 5.5gr hoping it will get better. I may have to drop back down to get better SD.

I have had issues in the past with cycling and accuracy using auto-comp i have since relegated what i have left to revolver only shooting, functions fine in 38 special and 9mm revolvers.

Reloading max loads of 357 mag at this time, would love to find a set of dies for just 357 mag, i have found them in steel but would like carbide or similar. so if anyone knows of dedicated 357 mag only let me know thanks

Redding makes a set.

REDDING 357 MAG SET 3-DIE CARBIDE - Graf & Sons

Titanium carbide differs considerably from tungsten carbides, and is the ideal material for lubeless resizing of cartridge cases. Redding Titanium Carbide die sets contain 3 dies: a full length resizing die with decapping rod assembly and titanium carbide sizing ring, an expander die with neck...

I've got about 1.5lbs of AutoComp left. I'm going to try, and see if it improves. If not I'm going to drop it back to 5.2gr.
5.2gr has done the best so far.

I've read that you shouldn't tumble loaded ammo. I think the concern is the powder consistency changing, thus changing the burn rate. How long do you tumble it? Do you have any experience with tumbled ammo showing unexpected pressure?

All the big boy ammo manufacturers do a tumble at the end of the manufacturing line.
That way its bright and shiney when you open the box.

 

[Michigan Slim]

A fifteen or twenty minute tumble is all it needs.

Ok, went to put away all the .270 I loaded. Found several hundred in ammo cans already. Guess I need to buy another .270 so I can shoot them all up. I still have a bunch of brass to process.

LOL.
One of my kids opened a ammo can a few years ago, and found an Ingram I transfered in the 80's
