What did you do today in the world of reloading?

[orbitup]

Different method. I used 2 different ones before and got the same but did it this way (the way I normally do it) at got 8 thou shorter.

It looks like I do it about the same as you. I tried the Stoney Point tool but I can't get consistent numbers that way. It relies too much on feel I think.

Cabela's didn't have blue dot, or 2400, or even AA9. Walmart and academy only sell hodgdon.

I have some AA7 and tons of the fake AA5. I thought about using one of those but they just aren't great for the 357 and no data for the 454. Longshot has data for them but it's about 25% less power than the h110 or 2400 is.

I have an unopened can of Blue Dot. What part of the world are you in?

Edit - Just saw you are near SA.

Any thoughts on True Blue? A buddy of mine is getting into reloading(we think)so I was going to pick up something new(for me, it's all new to him!)that we can split and he can learn about working up a load.

Thanks

Lucky bastard. On my list for the year, but depends on a lot other things happening.

Like you gifting yours to me.

This week I ran my cast 45s through one of the pro1000s. I ran out of bullets after 1015. I still have a bunch more brass so I started casting. Went to powder coat today but my damn powder got wet. It's all toast.

Yesterday I finished setting up a pro1000 for 223. I picked up an auto drum powder measure for it and got it dialed in so I'm gonna start cranking those guys out until I run out of powder. Then I suppose I'll start some more precise 7-08 loads to test out.

Loaded up some 44 mag subsonic rounds and did priming and brass prep on 6.5X47 cases.

Are they really 44 Magnum then? Really?

Curious where they fit in the 44 Magnum/ Special range. Below both? In between somewhere?

 

[avvidclif]

Kinda defeats the purpose of having a 44 mag.

Why? Would they now be closr to Cowboy Action loads?

Friend of mine bought a 44 level gun. He said it kicked too much. I loaded him some plated over w231. They were only about 1100fps.

They are for my suppressed Handi rifle. 300gn SP under 7.9gn of CFE Pistol. I did some testing with special cases too but erred on the side of the longer case to avoid a short carbon ring. I don't know if that's really a thing but I have read of people having trouble after running a lot of special cases in magnum pistols.
