Nothing, yet but, I did pull a bunch of bullets from some 9 X 57 loads that were for a '98 Mauser, J.P. Sauer & Sohn. Those loads were too hot for my 1890 Haenel-Rasch in 9 X 57 and I want to load them with cast loads. I sold the Sauer rifle at an auction last spring so I had no use for the hotter loads. Now I have to find my 250 gr., 9mm cast bullets!!

I finally ordered some larger diameter bullets for my old 29-2 with .433-.434 inch throats. .430" pills work just OK, but I got some 225 gr. RFN coated bullets @ .431". Gonna try them over some WSF powder; results will be posted within a week.

Haven't shot much lately, haven't loaded in awhile. A quick look shows me low on 480's and 32 mags. Hmmm..

Trimming some .475 Linebaugh brass down to .480 length. Going to load some 400 grain Lee RFPs. Also working up my first-ever loads for .357 Sig. That looks to be more challenging than the .480 Ruger ammo will be!

Bought a glock 27 with extra 40 and 357 Sig barrels, waiting for the 357 sig dies to arrive today. Wouldn't have bought it without the sig barrel, wanting to reload for it. Already load for the 480, will have to check my inventory on it also.

That should make it easier to feed with three different cartridges available for it!

Got everything ready to charge and seat bullets for my 1890 Haenel in 8 X 57, with a .318 groove. Probably do that tomorrow after I get the steroid shot in my thumb and knee.
bigbrowndog, what rifle is the 9.3 X 74R in? I'm still lusting for a decent double chambered for that cartridge. I'm just not ready to spring with 7K-8K for one. 5K i would do.

Finally found a little time to spend in the reloading room. Cranked out some 223 Rem and 44 Special, now just need to find some time to shoot it. Too much OT. All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. All work and no play mmakes Jack a dull boy.

I'm going to go down in the basement to anneal some 6.5CM brass tonight. The problem is that's what I've been going to do every day for about three weeks. Also "about to go" cast some 700ge .510 bullets for about four months now.
