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

[1911ly]

Seeing this thread brought back some memories, good ones. I need to set the press up and do some 308 for the M1919 and do some 300wm for my R700.

So, here is the lowdown on what Dillon Precision told when I called them on May 1st. I wasn't going to say anything, but I figured it might help someone if they had "plans." Like, try plan B.

The stock status/shipping dates of reloading dies listed on the webpage is NOT accurate.

I ordered 9mm dies in May of 2022 and they are "hoping" to be caught up this year. If you are looking for dies from them be prepared to wait a very significant amount of time. I'm hoping to see them by Christmas.

Did you get a Covid or supply chain response/excuse for no availability? Any reason why die prices doubled overnight at Dillon? All of these manufacturers continue to blame Covid19 and supply chain even though 3 years have elapsed! I call B.S. on all of this at the current time.

I was on hold for a bit and they had nothing. I asked if they could tell me the order date of their latest shipped dies to try to guesstimate and still nothing. All I got is the, "We're hoping to be caught up this year." Whatever it was, their lips were tightly sealed. Frustrating to say the least.

While I was following the returns last night I occupied my time fruitfully by prepping some 308 brass for my cousin who is working on a few loads for his Model 70.

And I prepped the brass from my last shoot with the Henry 44mag. After 7 loads with 4 different powders I think I have a good enough load using 19.3 grains of Lil'Gun with a 225 FTX Hornady bullet. I am kind of hoping to do my first deer hunt using it.

The last few months have really gotten me in to reloading. I have reloaded more ammo in the last few months then I have for the last 6 years! I am really enjoying doing it more for some reason.

Currently waiting for my hardcast 9mm 120 grains hard cast semi wadcutter bullets to come in. Loaded them up before and shot. Good accuracy,reliable feeding. WW231,Titegroup,and Hodgdon HS-6 have worked out well. Reloading for over 45 yrs,and always look to try a powder have not used before.
So what are you reloading at the moment? Please share.
