There's a box of 40, 44-40 brass on the bench ready to be charged and bullets seated. That's a project for this afternoon.

Loaded some Grendel ammo for a bolt gun, may be able to net an additional 100-150fps. Hoping for 2500fps for a 120gr. CoreLokt, should be a good pig killer.

Giving Lee Resizing Lubricate a try as a paper patch lube, looks more traditional and no smell (unlike liquid alox)!

Going to load up two ladders to test this weekend. One is 45C with the NEI 315.452. The other is 500L with the MP 511-525. Both on Longshot for some easier shooting loads. Hoping for best accuracy between 900-950 with both.

Just bought my first pound of it yesterday. I only cast 355,410,435, 465, and 525 grains for now in .511". I use Universal up to 410grs, but it's out of stock everywhere and I have about a pound left for the 357mag. Gotta find something else. The 435 and 465 only get max h110 for hunting. My starting loads for longshot are from Gordon's and Quickload. Once I work it out, I publish the results on here.
