    Nothing too exciting, but did a handful of 7.62x39 to use up the bullets that I had for an experiment, and did 100 9mm Luger. Turns out the 7.62x39 handholds weren't any more accurate than the Wolf Polyformance that I normally shoot out of my AK's.

    It was just good to get out in the garage and do some loading. It had been too long.

    Got #358430's cast and ready to paper patch for the 9.3x74R.
    And there's a bunch of cast and sized Lyman #41026, 41028 and Lee 195 SWC's ready to work up loads in the .41 caliber 1858 Remington but dangit if finding the time is even likely.
    This weekend I'm processing the lumber to build a set of free standing shelves for the hobby room.

    Why does old mean busier?

    45 ACP. 5.3gn HP-38 under a 230gn RN plated .452 from Xtreme seated to 1.25 OAL.

    Ho-hum, dull and boring. Time to make another 1000...

    Got a big tub of brass this weekend. Contained around 800+ 32 h&r mag, 600+ 38spl, 400+ 357 mag, 400+ 45acp, and 200+ 44 mag. Paid 20 for the lot now I have to deprime clean and sort for selling.

    Off till Monday, I'm going to find something to reload
    It's to hot to do anything outside
    I guess I could finish the bathroom, but that's no fun

    I've got to load up my next round of ammo testing. I've found what I think are excellent loads with RL15, 8208, and AR Comp for heavy loads too long for mag length (80gr).

    I need to finalize each powder's "best load" and then do a final shootout between the three powders. Thus far, it appears that AR Comp will likely win running away as it can push a 1/2-3/4 MOA load at good speed (2650ish).

    45acp. I have been using this same basic load in my 1911 for quite a few years. I tumble the brass every few cycles, and couldn't be happier with my results.

    Tested out some loads for my 2 ar platform 6.5 grendels.

    The 18" barrel liked Hornady vmax 95gr with 30gr of H335, cci 450 primer, with an oal of 2.240 best. Averaged .5" groups at 100 yards

    The 24" liked Hornady 123gr pills with 30.4gr of BLC-2, cci 450 primer and an oal of 2.245 best. Averaged just over .5" groups at 200 yards.

    Temps were in the low 80's with pretty high humidity and crosswind around 10mph.

    Was pleased enough with these loads that I'll be loading more of each of these for the next range session

    Finished 5k 9mm a few months ago, and 400 6.5 cm. Shot a bunch up, need to start resizing some 6.5. Hoping to sell case lube at 1500, so thinking about bringing a press so people can demo it. Then they’ll do all the resizing for me.

    Bumping this back up.

    Loaded some slow pokes in a 357 case. 3.6gr of HP38 under a 158gr blue bullet. Should be about 800’/sec.

    I really need to get a chronograph...

    Been scrounging for lead and started smelting bars with what I have. Doesn't look like I'll get to wet tumbling my deprimed brass as I got too much and not enough time with a 7 month old

    I finally got started on processing 5.56 brass that I had. Since its supposed to be record highs for the first few days of archery season, I hope to finish this brass and get them loaded.

    Try your local auto repair shop that does tires as well. They usually have 5 gallon buckets of lead wheel weights laying around wanting to off load.

    I'm working on my 10mm currently.
    Just worked up a load for the 200gr WFNGC bullet. Got it upto 1257 fps avg 10 shot group. Still need to do accuracy testing and adjust it accordingly.

    Now I'm working up a load for the 155gr XTP for the 10mm.
