What did you do at your reloading bench today?

sized my annealed 6.5x55 brass, it's going in for a trim in a few moments. I plan to load some 140 grn target loads, and 160grn subsonic loads.

Loaded 6.5x55 Swede yesterday.
150ish rounds of 160 grn subs
150ish rounds of 140grn subs
150-ish rounds of 140-grain supers
100-ish rounds of 150 grn supers.

For the subs i used TiteGroup. 9.2 and 9.0 grains respectively. The supers I used were 4064 in a couple of different weights.

All the brass for the subs was bought used. I had to toss about 10 pieces. I annealed, sized, and trimmed them yesterday. The supers were all new brass.

Shooting subs out of the cases stretches the necks something fierce, so a full length resize is necessary. The annealing made a noticeable difference in sizing and trimming.

Loaded a couple hundred rounds of Sierra 165-grain 308, and about the same in Swiss P 167-grain ammo. Both shot exceptionally well.

Loaded up some steel plate clanging .357 loads. I usually use Power Pistol but have a few pounds of Bullseye in the back of the cabinet. I rarely load anything with Bullseye lately and this batch is probably 40+ years old. POI and accuracy is on par with my PP load and since I cast my bullets and case life is nearly forever the only real cost is primers. 5.7 gr. of Bull under a Lee 158 cast is good for close to 1200 fps out of a .357 carbine.
