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

[oldpink]

Sounds like a fun weekend.
There are worse things to pass the time doing.

Working up some 9mm loads for my carbine.
I'm loading xtreme 124rn and 5.0gr unique. If I don't get the accuracy I'm chasing, I will try a 115gr pill.

Anyone have some carbine specific loads? I tried 231, and decided a slower powder may get some better velocity. That's where I'm at now....first go at it with unique.

Just finished some .260 for my precision rig. Wife needed some .38, worked up some for her. Now I need to complete the painstaking task of bulk .223. Got a ton of brass I need to work thru....takes forever with a single stage press....

I load 124gr Hornady FMJ RN over 5.5gr of Power Pistol for all of our 9mm needs, including my son's 995 carbine. I've seen him put 10 rounds into a coffee cup at 50 yards, with the cheap open sights that come with the gun. Now that it has a red dot sight, ringing the 8" plate at 100 yards isn't a whole lot of challenge.

Broom, what is your 9mm carbine if you dont mind me asking.

Been experimenting with true blue, 124 gr plated and also polymer. Found 5.2 gr to be the best for all my 9mm pistols, will be trying it in my carbines this weekend. Also been loading 40 and 45acp with true blue and getting great results. this may be my next powder for my all purpose loading!!

It's a Hi-Point 995TS...an inexpensive little carbine that is a lot of fun to shoot.

I reload, 9mm, 38 spl, 357 mag, 12 gauge, 223 and soon to be 45 colt. Gotta feed the lever action some how

 

[lstout]

just ran my first 50 rounds of 230gn 45 ACP last night. Super excited

Right on.
.45 Colt is where reloading really can save you the most on ammo costs out of those named rounds, especially if you load lead.

 

[1911ly]

Just finished another 50 rounds of Hornady 225gn FTX's in 44mag. Getting ready to load some of the 265gn FTX in 44mag. This is a new load for me.

Having fun as usual at the bench with my son helping out.

 

[1911ly]

I finally got around to loading some 8mm Mauser. A first for me. Just 10 rounds to test with. I picked up some PPU brass and bought some 175 grain Sierra's. Using 42 grains of 3031. CCI large rifle primers. with a COAL of 3.1 inches. A pretty mild load for an old untested gun.




BTW: RTFM when setting up your Lee dies or you will end up with brass like this.

 

[Leadeye]

Cast some bullets for and reloaded 38-40 and 50-95. Old Winchester and Colt fodder.

 

[jstory]

Just finished up 500 rounds of 9mm and started on 200 rounds of 223. After that I need to start 7.62x54r...

 

[derrickgoins]

Just finished up 1,000 rounds of 9mm 124gr RN. Planning to change over the 550 to 45ACP this weekend and knock out a 1,000 rounds of 45ACP.

 

[Scott357]

9mm with Powerpistol powder, 38/357 with Titegroup. Always trying different bullet manufacturers, / weights

 

[Broom_jm]

Trimmed another twenty fired cases that started life as 303 British and are now, officially, 35 INDY.

 

[bobjones223]

Just pounded out 50 rounds of 45 Colt fo r my daughters Rossi. Those tend to take a bit of time due to hand weighting all of them down to 9.2 gr.

Pulled the 45 dies off, dropped the 9mm dies on to start cranking on those till Santa brings my 44mag dies!

.44 Special with 246gr LSWC propelled by 7.5gr of Unique - this is supposed to be an accurate load, we'll see how my picky S&W 24-6 likes it.

Possibly of a bit more interest to INGO, here is a shot of me repriming some South African 7.62 NATO R1M1 berdan primed brass. After carefully removing the spent primer and primer crimp, I reprime using a classic Lee Autoprime hand tool. For this particular batch I'm using some older (60s or 70s vintage?) Fiocchi No. 217 B primers that were most likely imported by Alcan. Another primer correct for this casing is the excellent Russian Murom KV-7.62N primer - which was most recently imported and marketed by TulAmmo under their label until the Russian sanctions were imposed a few years ago. The KV-7.62N primer was also imported and marketed by PMC USA under the PMC label during the late 90s up until about 2006 when they went bankrupt due to financial difficulties stemming from a family fight. The current PMC Ammunition was founded circa 2008 and is a different company that has never handled berdan primers.
