What did you do today in the world of reloading?

[TxStetson]

Put a bunch of .223 rounds together. Some with CFE 223, some with Varget. Made me remember how much longer it takes to get charge weights right with stick powder.

That’s why I prefer not to load Varget on my 550.

Got a new mould for my 44 mag that casts hollow points. I ended up testing around 75 rounds of it. I'd be lying if I said that they didn't start to sting a bit towards the end. They should make a really nice deer and hog round though.

Not sure what litttle Golden books are... Playboy, for sure!

I used to like popular mechanics, before they had so many kitchen appliances and such.

Ever see those thin children's books with the gold spine? Those are little golden books.

I guess you could call it reloading. In an effort to clean my bench up, I found about 40 mismatched, some with primers, .223 trimmed cases. I usually have some outlier cases left over for my precision loadings. Loaded them into plinkers.

I need to pick a powder dispenser for my T7 so I can load 308 with 4064.

Annealed and sized a bunch of 30/30, PCd couple hundred 145gr PB, shot a bunch of 30/30 this morning. 145gr PB with unique. A few FTX and some 185gr GC PC. It's set for summer plinking & hogs now. Showed a guy how to sight his red dot by looking through the AR barrel. 3 shots to get on the X.

I started profiling some Speer match bullets. Already disappointed with the long boat tails and narrow ogives. I regret buying them already and I haven't even loaded any.

Why is your ammo wearing lipstick?

So it's easier to pick up at a match. I also color for brass cycle after red it gets annealed and trimmed.

What did you color it with?
I bought some red dykem layout fluid for that purpose. Not sure how it will work.

Looks like 6.5 CM boolits. Good deal. I loaded up 50 140g Noslers last night. Tonight was sizing, trimming, and cleaning 100 cases of 6.5 Grendel. Tomorrow will be stuffing them with 123g ELD's and 8208XBR. It's funny. That powder is apparently the go to stuff on Grendel rounds. Rarely see it used elsewhere. I loaded some 6.5 CM with it, just cause. It was no better than the go to H4350.

Sharpies. Blue, red and black work best. Kids used a different one once and it came out purple looking which was easy to distinguish from others. I used to mark the body but over time it can build up in your chamber so now it just mark the rim area........ you can also color bullets and mark loads on white paper if you have a soft backstop.
