"What did you reload today?"

[trueat1stlight]

Wow, AxeHandle- that's some shooting! I'd love to see a photo of your setup.

I picked up some more powder (H1000 and H414) for load development in the .257 Mag while traveling for business. I am looking forward to when the weather doesn't completely suck so that I may be able to shoot all I've been loading. We're supposed to be getting 10-14 inches in Minneapolis this evening... IT WILL NEVER END!

Just loaded up 40 more rounds of 500 JRH. Starting charge of H110. Don't plan to move from here until I have a chrono so I have an idea of what's going on. Plus, there's a learning curve just to pulling the trigger on this thing! Practice makes better!

Starting to sort out an accuracy issue in my 44mag Vaquero. I think I need a fire-lapping kit. That's a project for another weekend.

Loaded 25 rounds of 22 Hornet for my Dakota Sharps - 40 gr. Nosler Ballistic Tip over H110. I'm fooling with the seating depth on these bullets, just for accuracy sake. I'm out to 1.925" COL and still dropping them into the chamber. I'm about at max length with this bullet weight without risking too little case pull. Dropped some Trail Boss in a few 500 Linebaugh cases and seated some 425 gr. cast bullets on top. Hope to get to the range this week and shoot the Hornet and the 500...

50 more rounds of .475 Linebaugh- this time with Hornady 400 grain XTP's over a stiff charge of Unique, 4227, H110 and Enforcer. I have GOT to get out and shoot that gun! Finally bearable weather here so the chances look promising!

I'll be headed back to the loading bench ASAP for for 240 and 255 Banshee. Made 50 of each the first go round. After the fireform I can see that I need at least 50 more. The fireformed case holds significantly, relatively speaking, more powder. Then we'll naturally need to load a few 100 rounds of 45 ACP for next week! Really need to load up some 32-20, 327, and 38 Super. Not to mention the perpetual need for 32 wadcutter, 38 Special 357, 41, 44, 45 Colt...

Finally found some H4350 in my travels for work and loaded up some .257 Wby Mag for load development: 80 grain TTSX's and 100 grain TTSX's, as well as some Nosler 110 grain Accubonds. Also found some IMR 7828 SSC which seems to show the highest velocity in the .257 Wby Mag with 100 grain lower bullets. We shall see!

Today I loaded about 47 rounds of 45 Colt with some Unique and 250gr round nose bullets. Best part? My gf helped! Also, used my new case trimmer for the first time. It needs to be mounted to something.

This thread needs to be resurrected. I loaded 100 44 mags. 280 WFN from beartooth that I got years ago. I bought this mold from Veral Smith last winter. I loaded them over 21 gr of W296 with a CCI 350. Next I need to load a few 270s and cast some boolits. Not sure what kind yet.

44 spls and 44 mag this morning before taking kiddo to school 475s tomorrow.....then maybe back to 44s and 284s, we shall see....45-70s next week for the Sharps.

[AxeHandle]

Found 32-40 Dies. Then stumbled on 43 Mauser, 7.65x53, and 400 Corbon dies. Didn't need them but didn't have them so...

[seancass]

so far I've made 12 JRH cases out of 500 smith. This is a sloooow process without a lathe. Might have to borrow the one at work for a few minutes...

100 45 Colt: 225gr wadcutters with 5gr trail boss

Sent from my DROID RAZR using proboards

[seancass]

Today I made and fired 40 rounds of 500JRH loaded with 2400 and 4227 as well as 24 rounds of 44 loaded with 2400 under a 240SWC. Also fired 100+ 38 specials. I'm really going thru that stuff fast this year!

[Paden]

Today I loaded for the 500 Linebaugh: 457 grain LBT SWC GC, 22.5 grains VV-N110, Federal LP Match primer, Starline brass; 1000 FPS.

A couple hundred 38 specials. One of my favorite rounds. Perfect for plinking and cheap to feed using 2.8 gr of Clays.
