    Let me know what you think about the 165 in the 300 Blk. I have been shooting the Nosler 125 BTs, and am curious about the heavier bullet in that round. Would love to know what the effect is on a deer or pig.

    The 165s worked great, as did the 220 gr remmington subs I bought (only thing wallyworld had). I have some 110 gr fmj and some 113 cast (gas checked) that I want to try. Ive heard they wont feed worth a hoot though, so im not loading very many to start with.

    I enjoy hand loading on my Redding T-7 turret press .223 Match quality target rounds. I use the Redding micrometer seating die for Sierra bullets and Lapua brass. The rifle I use it for is the Browning White Gold X-Bolt just for paper targets at the range. Certainly this is a hobby when loading these rounds - there's definitely no economy here!

    Sized a bunch of bullets, tried to get my Hornady 9mm sizing die apart, bent the primer pin and the rod the other day.

    Loaded up a batch of lipstick for a buddy. He liked the look of some powder coated bullets I had on the bench so I loaded them up for him. The best part is I had a partial box of primers sitting on the bench, went through those and put another 100 in. It was exactly enough to load all the bullets I had. I love it when that happens.

    Nice red powder coated 358156 bullets loaded into nickel brass. I was going to post a picture but apparently the tablet in the reloading area is not uploading pictures. I'll have to solve that.
