What did you do at your reloading bench today?

[DsGrouse]

Loaded 100 or so of proofmark 147grn plated 9mm,

Mounted new scopes on my 6.5grendel and 6mm ARC.


Today I'd like to finish up the 9mm. But, the kids are visiting t
This weekend, it's the first time the grandbabies will be here.

Bathroom tile fix is done. It needs a day to cure. I need to call the shower door guys and see when they are bringing that back.

Darn my post didnt upload.

Working on 125 grn tcfp fmj load using 3n37. I'm having a dickens of a time finding the right coal in the reloading books.

I'm seeing coal numbers all over the place in the books
1.035, 1.042, 1.075, 1.089, 1.105, 1.124, 1.142

Some of these numbers seem unrealistic. Anyone load a 125grn truncated cone fmj? What was your coal when done.

Haven't done a thing at mine all year, but I did just order a couple hundred 130gr. 30 cal. Speer Hot cor.
Going to try some in the ole Marlin 308mx and possibly a few in some 30-30 cases.

I hadn't needed to reload for a few months, but it was finally time. My ammo safe was down to an inventory a half dozen boxes of factory 357s, which I bought before I started reloading and was the initial source of all of my brass cases.

I still have a dozen boxes of cleaned and primed brass on the bench, so I won't need to begin prepping any of the hundreds of already-fired cases that have been piling up for awhile. Yesterday I processed a box with 158 ZERO JHPs and 13.9 grains of H110 for 22₵ each.

gotta love $11 per box for 357.

went out and shot 11 of my 125 grain test loads. Accuracy was great at 40yds. The test gun was an HK USP Expert. The average fps was 1157. This is 0.4 grains under max and not a +p load. I think that will do just fine.

Yesterday was a rainout so I hit the reloading room. I’ve been working on a project using .315 round balls for muzzleloaders to create a low noise low velocity gallery type load for my 327 revolver. All the research and testing is done so it’s time to load up some for fun. I’m going to see if they will have enough oomph to knock over a bowling pin at 15’. I only have 60 pieces of 32 SWL brass so I loaded up what I have. 48 grain round ball with 2.0 of Unique and small pistol primer. Very light crimp, just enough to keep the ball in place while the cylinder is fired. It’s been a fun project with a few bumps in the road along the way. All part of the fun.

Here’s a link to my project.
