So.. what are you reloading at the moment??

[2in1evtime]

Still loading 45 acp, done with 9mm at present. Will be loading 6.5 creed moor, 6.5x284, and 308 next few weeks. Got a great deal on bulk hornady 140 gr .264 bullets so i figured i need to fill a couple cans. past week did a inventory again and have 50 cal cans of 9mm and 40 s&w i had stored . so i am pretty good on pistol for a while.

Beginning research for SRB-118 with heavy bullet soft cast loads in a 1951 Marlin .35 Remington, to wooosh them down range.

Right now I’m reloading 9mm, .40, and .308

 

[gagesmamaw]

We just loaded 250 rounds of 357... 5 different loads.
Now starting on 38 special

 

[Leadeye]

[Karl-just-Karl]

Just ordered another 2k of 9mm projectiles from Summit City Bullets.

So...Another 2000 reps at the reloading bench in the near future.

 

[Chalky]

Just got 15# of Hoosier Bullets coated 147s. Time to break into my SPP stash a bit. Then it’s some 140rdfs over 46.2 of RL26 in Peterson SRP for my 6.5 for the 1000y match coming up, then some .223 for the XTC match after.

I was just looking into ordering more 9mm 124gr plated bullets and your post caught my eye. I looked at SCB website, and I've never loaded coated bullets. Is there much difference in load data between plated and coated? I like the difference in price.

For the most part I've kept using the same recipes that I used for plated. In general I do not load things to the top end.

My approach to coated bullets is to start with lead reloading data. The plunk test and the throat length of the firearm often determines seating depth.

I performed a test for a reloader friend of mine who was getting a lot of fouling in his barrels (Glock) using coated bullets. I didn't see any significant fouling using the SCB coated bullets after 100 rounds with Titegroup in my CZ75.

With the SCB bullets I have to bell the mouths a little more to avoid scraping off the coating. The coating is not as tough as plating.

I have become a convert. Coated bullets for plinking are sufficient and satisfactory.

Appreciate the info, thanks!

Fourth day of being sick. Yesterday I got bored and ended up depriming and ultrasound cleaning about 1000 9mm cases. All dry and put away now with the rest of the "ready" stash.

 

[yetti462]

6.5 creedmoor. just finished up some 10mm &44mag.

 

[gcoop]

Ready to cut down 200, 223 Rem. cases to make 300 AAC Blackout ammo tomorrow morning. Then resize and trim in the evening.

 

[jbrubaker]

Loaded my first 10 rounds of 6.5 Creedmoor. Using once-fired Federal cases from some GMM I shot, Fed 205 small rifle primers, Barnes 140gr Match Burner bullets. Going to do a 10-shot "ladder" test so I loaded 10 rounds, each charge 0.3gr above the last.

 

[Magyars]

Finishing my last couple hundred pieces of 38 special

 

[Leadeye]

44 Russian BP.

 

[red_zr24x4]

223 in the tumbler and 1 of the 550's set up for 45Colt

what powder you burning? I have some match burners coming in mail, looking forward to shooting them.. so far my rifle likes bergers the best, burners are much more economical.

6.5 Creedmoor using H4350 and 143 ELD-X. Last time out I finally nailed down some magic juju shooting .3 to .5 moa groups. Next will be 129gr Interlocks and Varget but will probably have to wait till Spring.
