I forgot to mention it was 300 aac blackout I did for a friend that I really hate to do as it is just like 7.62 but a bad copy. I am going to make a round out of reloader 7 for the 300 blackout as I now have the powder but no data. I can extrapolate from 308 or some other round close. Funny as Alliant has no 300 blackout data on their website. Oh well another reason why I hate to reload 300 and I don't even have a gun to test with.

So my fun yesterday revolved around some clear gel and target shooting some 223 rounds.

In the 223 fired some 55gr vmax loaded with 25.4gr 8208 and 62gr gold dots loaded with 27.2gr cfe223.

The clear gel was shot with 230gr HST, 230gr gold dot, 200gr gold dot, 124gr X-Def, and 62gr gold dot. This is also the order in which they appear.

The 62gr gold dot was shot at a distance of 15 feet. It penetrated 15 inches.

The 124gr X-Def penetrated 11.75 inches.

The HST and gold dots were all in the 12inch window.

Nice expansion all the way around. Well finishing up a few 125g 9mm HST bullets and finished with the 300 blackout. I am looking for other bullets to reload. Oh I did sell two pontoon boats I had laying around the backyard so I am getting the place cleaned up with a few extra bucks in my pocket. Went to the local gun store but couldn't find anything to buy and there is still little to get on the internet. Oh well I will keep on keeping on I guess.  Craig

Was cleaning the reloading shop this morning and found a brick of small rifle primers I have been trying to buy all week. I must have gotten them a few weeks ago and just forgot I guess. I have nothing left to reload except a few thousand 9mm fmj that I have thousands already loaded. Boy I did some case cleaning prep yesterday and I left a few in the tumbler for like two hours. They came out beyond clean. That's it.  Craig

Yep, they can shine up pretty darn nice

[gadabout]

Ha if they are real bad I put them for 30 minutes, these I forgot about so they went 2 hrs or so. Needless to say they are real clean!!  Craig

Found some 125g JHP like about 400 or so. Did a quick 100 this morning and went to put them away and guess what? Found about 500 already loaded. Ah I guess I need to start shooting more. I don't even know who's bullets they are, maybe Barry's thick plate but not sure. Loaded light anyway. Craig

Found another Tupperware container full of the 125 JHP so I think I have about 800 or so I could load up. Shot some today and the STI was in the black with all rounds and the Kahr was better but needs work. I think I am just shooting better in general but the Kahr is very light and I get a lot of movement.  Will work on that. The STI is a wonderful gun.  Craig

BTW When Handloads.com was still going Shadow or Slick helped me with a problem that a S&W 910s was shooting everything low. Whoever said to try a 147g bullet and it might raise the point of impact which it did!! I am wondering with the Kahr impacting high all the time if I load a 115g bullet if it might help me. Any ideas??  Craig

[gadabout]

In answer to my own question this will not work as I was shooting incepters at 65g and they were high on the target. Will try the 115g loaded light as I have them done at this point. also the sites are strange for me on this gun. a white dot between black dots and a white dot under the white front site.Oh well just something to do.   Craig

[gadabout]

OK shot the Kahr with the lighter bullets FMJ and they seemed better but really the problem is the shooter. Once I really figured out the site it shot all rounds better. Nice little gun and no recoil to speak of. The white bar dot  sits below the front white dot and that lowers the shots. Case closed.  Craig

Going to a gun show tomorrow to meet up with my holster making friend and will take him some 300 blackout I have loaded for him. Hope to find stuff to buy as I have a lot of cash to spend. With the virus and people out of work the walking around people selling cheap should be interesting. I hope anyway. Will also be looking for misc brass I need but not a real problem except for 300 blackout. I really am in pretty good shape for reloading supplies in general. I would love to come across some 9mm incepter bullets for reloading. Weird stuff like that is what I will be looking for and maybe a cheap gun but can't think of anything I want but that's when something I can't live without turns up.    Craig

Found a elderly gent walking around with a Walther P 38 like a 60's vintage he claimed was never shot. Perfect condition, we talked and he wanted 775 for it I offered 600 but he turned it down. Saw him later and I offered 650 and we settled on 700. Sorry but I will have to shoot this one. BTW got everything you get when you buy the gun box, paperwork,2-mags, cleaning brushes. Needless to say good gun show as I got some needed brass also.  Craig

[gadabout]

Shot the new Walther p38 today so there goes the never fired price point but it was worth it. Shot FMJ no problem and JHP no problem but the incepter round were a little bumpy. I am not sure what the load was as I had some left over in a mixed tub. Was shooting just for fun so I will revisit the incepters with known good reloads to see how it does. NICE gun though. Reminds me of the way my Browning high power shoots. Very smooth!!  Craig
