Over the last week or so I have loaded 1000 45acp 230gn FMJ and added it to the stock pile.
I am now going to start working on 9mm again for a while but probably not to long, I have some test loads with Remington 100gn frangable I want to shoot out of a new glock 19 gen 4, then will load up a 1000 or so of what ever load I decide on. After that I have a 45 colt project I want to work on.

200 rounds of 9mm. Really loving the progressive press. Did all those in under an hour whereas I would have maybe done 50 with the single stage.

.45ACP test loads using Federal No. 200 SPMP and HS-6. Downloaded 20% from max and worked up to max across 5 steps. These are SPP cases, mostly Federal. 25 each of 200 grain LSWC and 230 LRN. I'm trying to work up loads to use up the 5000 SPMP I got for super cheap so I can save the other 5000 SPP I have for 9MM and .38 Special. I'll load up a similar set tonight/tomorrow for .357 Magnum using 158 grain JHP and .38 Special +P using 125 LRN.

.308 BLR
I'm trying to find the right load for my .308 blr, I have 2 different powders I'm working working with. BLC (2) and Varget. I'm using 150gn Nosler E tip bullets. Where I hunt you cannot use lead bullets, makes this experiment pricey. Staring off Varget powder and 42.3gn load and working up to max 46.5gn. Going to look for the best groups and focus on getting a tighter pattern. This gun is not a long range riffle but I'm still looking for the tightest pattern at 100 to 200 yards max.

Hand primed 250 .223 cases while watching TV. I'll probably get another 250 done before I go to bed.
Tomorrow - I'll charge them with powder, seat and crimp the bullets (55gr FMJBT Hornady's) into them.

I shot my first 50 reloads at the range last weekend, 223 55 gr fmjbt and ram tac.
they all fired and we're all pretty accurate. I got about 200 more cases already prepped and I'll probably start cleaning and prepping the other 1000 or so. |

500 rounds of .223, mixed brass (mostly Winchester and Aguila), CCI No. 41 Primers, 28 grains of WC844, Hornady 55gr FMJBT. Loaded, checked with a Lyman headspace gauge, weighed to verify no squibs, put onto stripper clips and loaded into a .30 Cal ammo can.
I've got about 280 more rounds to load, then about 20 round to pull apart because they failed quality control (light powder charge, wrong bullet, need resizing, etc.).

Shot my first 75 reloads last weekend - 230gr fmj .45 acp with Bullseye powder working up to max in 8 increments. Will load up a couple hundred rounds of 4.7 gr and 5gr bullseye (those seem to work out best for me) to try out this weekend. I'm surprised how enjoyable reloading is ... almost as fun as shooting!

I thought AR-15 mags can use stripper clips? I guarantee you if someone bans the bullet button and mags are TRULY fixed, someone will invent a product that lets you swivel up the upper, clip the stripper clip into the exposed mag, and load away. Yes? probably already exists?

Tumbled, lubed and sized 400 .223/5.56 cases, sorted and reamed crimps. Will prime today and start loading.
Loaded about 75 rounds of 32 S&W a couple of days ago with 90gr SWC's. Those little suckers are a pain! I needs me a powder trickler.
