What are you loading shooting these days!

[gandog56]

Your cheating in you count if you are counting all the birdshots as a separate caliber!

How about I reload .44 Russian, .44 Special, and  .44 Magnum? I consider that three different ones since I have to adjust the dies for each one, even though I use the same die set.

I would contact Double Tap, but I wouldn't hold my breath that they will make sweeping changes to how they do things.  They may send you some more bullets.

NOE has this mold in stock: http://noebulletmolds.com/NV/product_info.php?cPath=39&products_id=330

I just picked up the 4 cavity version of this mold on Saturday, and unless UPS screws up my Lee handle delivery today, I will try it out tonight.

Unfortunately this mold is NOT a GC design, so it doesn't quite meet your desires.

Mountain Molds will cut you a custom 2 cavity mold of your design using their online tool for $95.  I have one of their molds, and highly recommend them.

I emailed them... I also sent pics. I Got back a ''thank you for making me aware of the problem'' letter...

WAS gonna order 200 more... guess I'll look for another source. They don't need my patronage.

Wow, that's awesome.  What rounds will the 1050 be set up to load?

Then using that logis, Shotcaps should count as different, I have to use a different Seater Plug too

If you all have kept up with the Pull-Downs posted you know that I have been busy doing a few recently.
BTW you will notice that they are easier to find as they are now located in their own sub topics.

I just put a few 10mm rounds together this evening...soon these are headed to Intercooler for testing.
Hornady 200 grain XTP one each of the following
9.4 grains IMR800X
9.4 grains LongShot
10.5grains Blue Dot
8.4 grains Power Pistol
12.6grains AA #9

RCBS 200 grain cast TCBB (SWC) 3 made of these
10.0 grains Blue Dot

That pull down data from The_Shadow and the chrony data from IC is good stuff too.  Good to have an idea of what is being used, especially for handloaders who may want to duplicate factory data.

Even better is to get standardized chronograph data from IC.  We KNOW it is apples to apples comparisons of different loads since they are fired from the same gun.  Only variations are temperature and barometric pressure.

[445 supermag]

I am a little late to this topic but for me I reload on my dillon xl 650  my 445 supermag and 41 gnr#2. These two are shot out of my custom encores.
I used to reload for a rifle but rifles have lost interest to me.  All my hunting has gone to my crossbow and handguns now.


Soon and very soon to be reloading for 380, 10mm, 357 mag, 9mm, 45 acp.  Dont know why I never really started to reload for these but now I am working on getting stuff for all of them.

For now it'll be setup in 9mm and 223 expanding to 30.06/308

It is a must when doing any military brass with crimped primers.

BTW, I could only load 400 of them even though I had 500 matching bullets M80 147grain BT...I used up all but 39 grains of the IMR4831 powder.   LOL  This powder was given to me in 1985 by a co-worker in a brown glass jug!  It still smell sweet of the solvents used when it was made! 

400 x 60.0 grains = 3.428571428571429 lbs   This is a compressed load as loaded...All hand weighed as match loads.

I have IMR3031 I can load the rest but may wait to see if any powder shows up in the near future...to load the rest with something else.

It will be cool in the morning tomorrow, I think I'll setup to cast a few bullets!  That's always a good option to provide some ammo in times like this.

Well today I'll be casting some #00 and #4 buckshot...   I received my new dual BuckShot mold and waiting for everthing to get hot to start casting!

You don't have to adjust the sizer/decapper, or the powder through expander die. And I have to adjust the seater for whatever brand bullets I'm using.  You probably just have to do the seater die.

Doing another 1k of 45acp and 10mm on my old Orange Crusher press. Managed to pick up a 5# jug of Blue Dot so I can finally load a summers worth of 10mm for the RIA and Glock. Since we shoot once a week the ammo goes fast.

Got my new Buckshot mold the other day and despite the heat, I had to warm up the lead pot to do some casting!




Then I had to dig out my shotgun stuff, I haven't used since about 1990. But I was able to find all my wads, casings, primers, couple of bags of fine shot...#6 # 7 1/2 shot.

Anyway, I search out some info for loading these #00 in the federal cases using the Remington RP 12 Wads.

I can stack 10 pellets two by two in the shot cup, seated over 35.0 grains of Blue Dot which is what I used for 1 1/4 oz of lead shot back in the day!

I also made a Duplex Load that consisted of 16 pellets total, 8 of #00 & 8 of #4 Buckshot.


Now, to get out and test them out!
