What did you do today reloading related?

[blaster]

loaded up the .308 Win. brass I prepped the other day. boy, my estimate was way off! instead of 200+ pieces, it was only 153 pieces of brass!   I guess its been a while since I've reloaded full sized rifle ammo. loading all those pistol & 300 Black Out rounds has skewed my estimating ability to look at a pile of brass and guess the numbers.   anyway, I charged them all with 42 gr. of WC - 846 and topped 129 with Hornandy 150 gr. SP and the rest with some 147 FMJ bullets. now I need to take the M1-A out and empty a bunch of them so I can start the process all over again.

I just received my "blue" bullets from North East reloading. Ah they are blue and look real fashionable. I have never done painted bullets but these were priced right and I thought I try them. Will let everyone know how they load and shoot.  Craig

Sorry it took me so long to get back but I have been reloading!!!  The web site for North East Reloading is as follows. www.nereloading.com I did try to make it a link but not sure how to do it. Craig

Edit to say the link is good but I can't find the bullets at the site. They may be out.  Craig

Thanks, I looked earlier and thought the same thing

Polished the 30'06 brass that was resized and sorted and bagged. 
Also loaded a few 30'06 testers with my Cast NOE 311-199-SP-K5 bullets.




Also loaded a few testers of 30-30 with my cast RCBS 150 FN

Boy Wade those rounds should take care of those pesky rhino in your backyard!! Ha. Back to reality for me I loaded up some of the blue bullets I just got in and shot them in three guns. All shot good but I was off slightly but not too bad. This is interesting, I loaded 6.5 Power Pistol with those mag primers I had to buy. I feel a very good load for these blue bullets should be 6.3 power Pistol. It also happens to be the same load I have shot for years with JHP bullets. The 6.5 with mag were just a little hot for me but they sure worked. I'll post when I shoot the 6.3 rounds.  Craig
Oh the three guns were the Taurus slim,G2, and the Walther p-38.

BTW I did check the barrels and NO!! leading of any kind. The data folks on the internet said to load light so the bullet would stay together and my load as stout as it was for me was lighter than most but I like light. BTW this was a 115g round head bullet. It really shot good in the Slim and I have had trouble with that gun before. Craig

[gadabout]

Ya know it's almost as good when you have no issues as to function in a new round compared to shooting great. I  like both but will settle for good function in a new to me round.  Craig

Shot the 6.3 blue bullets this morning and they were fine. No failures of any kind but I did have some trouble with 125g JHP as I loaded them too deep so they hung up on loading the first round then all OK. The blue bullets are a welcome surprise to me as they are so cheap I will have to buy like 1000 or so just because!! Need to find primers first.  Craig

I have a mess on my bench. I am reworking g a progressive press that was given to me. I have to order some parts to convert it from 45acp to 9mm and replace some worn or broken parts.
