Loading for Multiple Rifles

[diver160651]

If you create an individual load for each gun, do you guys keep the brass separate or just mix it up and FL resize each time?

My 2 cents. - keep the stuff separate. For accuracy (if that's what you care about) and possibly safety. If you happen to have two chambers with min and max specs. You will loose brass life and increase the risk of case head failure as the brass is sized small but grows to the larger chamber.

I have a particular load setup for each rifle. Some loads use the same powders, but in my case, each of my rifles like a particular powder. Makes it hard for me in a way because I have more powders that I need to keep.

These are "pet" loads and were developed with the intent to shoot very precisely and accurately. I use particular headstamped cases for each and if I wanted to really get anal, I'll weigh the brass. I mainly use LC brass and have an affinity for LC, WCC, Winchester, and R-P stamped brass.

If I was just developing a load to do plinking, I can simply use 55gr boolits (Blitzking and Hornady FMJ) and load 25gr of H335 OR Benchmark and call it a day

For my bolt, which I should have in a month or two, I will be keeping brass separate. My my AR-15's, I just full length size. On my .308, I actually use a small base die since my 308 has a match chamber and is a little tighter than most.

A piece of advice. Look at the load book and find powders that are the same for the calibers you are loading for. For example IMR 3031 loads alot of different calibers. Also look at the powders availability,for example RL-15 hard to find. Develope the load to the gun with that powder.
What this does is prevent from having alot of powders and not enough stowage area.

I FL size everything. I do not keep brass seperate for each rifle. For some cartridges it will not matter anyway as I only have one rifle in that chambering
