What did you reload today?

Haven't reloaded anything today, but am receiving a Midway order than contains a Redding slant bed concentricity gauge I'm excited to use later. The first test will be on some 308 rounds. I will also test some old 32-40 rounds for fun and see how the old cartridges fair against my more modern ones with better tolerances and dies.
About 150 9mm.

So much lead. So much pewter. But so hot out there ...

Loaded up the FART wet tumbler with several hundred 9mm and .38 Spl. cases. Loaded 150 9mm.
Resized a few hundred 9 mm cases that were cleaned the day before. Will load another 150 9 mm rounds shortly.
Reloaded for 30-30 for the first time today for my Rossi r95. I used my Lee classic loader, 160 grain Hornady FTX, Hodgdon leverevolution, and Hornady one shot brass.
38 Special target cartridge:
158 grain SWC, Missouri Bullets hi-tek coated
Federal small pistol primer
Starline brass
3.8 grains N320 powder
I use the Hornady digital auto charger Pro for the powder because the shape of the N320 powder makes manual measuring very difficult in my Redding powder measure.

Last weekend, I loaded up an abbreviated ocw test for my good 308 I've had forever unfired. Started single rounds at 43 grains of Varget, 175smk, over lapua brass and CCI br primers. .2 grains until 44.2 for 5 rounds every .2 until 45 grains. My old rifle loved 44.5 several people I know with the same rifle said that should be close. Also received my new Chrono after I found a place with a great deal on them.

Processing several hundred rounds of 9 mm brass (coffee can full) by depriming and wet tumbling. Loaded 50 rounds of .32 H&R magnum. A new loading for me. I'll need to chrono some of these before loading more.
This year's groundhog hunting has been pretty successful. I was down to 3 loaded rounds of .22-250. Tonight I sat down and loaded up the brass I have in rotation. I started out with those 50 pieces 6 years ago and am down to 39. I may have lost a piece or two to a split, but don't remember it. Most of it was lost due to carelessness out in the field.
200 rounds of 9 mm, Berry's 124 gr. plated RN, 4.2 gr. W231, CCI SPP. Moderate load good for about 950 FPS.
Rainy day, good time to process some brass. De-primed and wet tumbling a mix of .308, .30-06, 6.5 Creedmoor and 6.5 Grendel cases, a full load in the large FART.
Also resizing a few hundred .45 ACP cases while the tumbler runs with the rifle cases. I will finally set up my 6.5 Creedmoor dies on one of my Redding T-7 extra tool heads and start to load some this weekend.
Loaded 200 rounds of 9 mm and 100 rounds of .223.
Pressure series for 22-250 AI. 8 twist barrel.
AA 2700 powder under 62 grain Nosler Varmageddon bullets.
Bullets are coated with WS2/Danzac/Tungsten Disulphide.
Seated .010 off the lands.
This is a new rifle so I have ten rounds of 'starting charge' for getting the gun on paper.
I painted over the load data, as this is an Ackley Improved cartridge and I am using 220 Swift load data.
If anyone tried my loads in a SAAMI spec 22-250 (assuming you could even get that much powder in the case) they might have a very unpleasant surprise.
I normally don't load this much ammo for a pressure series but I want to do some velocity monitoring as well, so two rounds of each increment will be chronographed independent of accuracy testing. I'm using a magneto speed and it can change point of impact.

My pewter-hunting lady just hit town, so did cold weather. Gotta fire up that lead pot, got two new molds... We needs some 32 & 38 projos!

.308 Win
Once fired Federal GMM brass, neck sized only
Sierra 168 gr. SMK seated to 2.800 COAL
Varget 42.6 gr.
Federal GMM Lg rifle primer.
I have used the above powder charge with 175 gr. SMKs with great accuracy. Curious to see if I get similar results with the 168 gr. SMKs. If good results are achieved, I'm going to try the same powder charge with 150 gr. pills. The charge is certainly within the safe recommendations for all three bullets. It would be neat if I didn't have to tweak the charge weight for each bullet, we'll see.
