What did you do today in the world of reloading?

Well I finally went ahead and bought a chargemaster lite on brownells. Trying to load .223 in bulk using my junk hornady electronic scale was just too painful

How are you dropping powder? Are you weighing each charge?

Hornady powder drop/trickler and weighing each charge.

I dont ever bulk load but Ive been replacing my factory .223 ammo with my handloads so its been a real PITA. The chargemaster should be great regardless. I am going to shoot the hornady with my .300 win mag and put it out of its misery. Its such a hunk of junk

Dang. I use a Lee auto drum for my 223. It's ±.1gr. good enough for plinkies

The target charge I have is 23.5gr, but the hornady is doing 23.3-23.6. I like to have it be more consistent than that but maybe its over the top. I only really load for my hunting rifles and I like that to be extremely precise

Changed my 550 over to 223 setup.
Loaded 20 rounds on a safe zone between min& max with 62gr steel core projectiles over 25.3grns of Tac.

The brass was presized and trimmed for my X die.

If those shoot fine ill be cranking out a bigger batch.

Also already got started on sizing 223 brass for the bulk batch. Probably 200 rds sized.

Hoping to get to the range this weekend

No clue if this is a good price.

Not as cheap on the 55grain but probably higher quality.

17c a projectile for 75 grain. I might have to pick those up.

I learned of Everglades Ammo recently. Ordered bulk 45 ACP brass this summer. Extremely fast shipping and lots of communication / confirmation...seems like a good supplier.

I have bought from Everglades ammo several times. Good folks to deal with.

I really like the storage.

I keep all of mine in og boxes. Hard to tell what you have left.

Recently put some pulled 357 into a Viewtainer from home depot.
Was going to buy more but that looks nice.

Just added these to my in stock notifications, look like a good deal if they ever show up.

Also thinking about backordering a box or 2 of these. I bet they would vaporize a bicep or 2.

The nice thing about 327 is that in my revolvers I can use 32 ACP, 32 S&W (short and long) 32 H&R MAG and 327 Federal Mag ......... Not sure how many of those will function in my lever gun but I have used 32 H&R Mag and 327........ 327 is a fire breathing monster out of most revolvers.
I do like the 41 Mag but have become very partial to the 41 SPL - both of which function in my Henry.

But none of this BS does a damned bit of good for you ...... sorry.

Try contacting Henry ......... they do go out of their way to help find guns. They have a link on their page just for that. They
got my wife her 223/5.56 Long Ranger that way with a serial number below 200 when they finally came out !!!

Been looking into the 41 a little more. The ffl has one but it's shorter and I'd prefer a longer barrel. I can get dies, brass, and even bullets for it. Might end up going that route if they have a longer one come available.

Purchased a Hornady Lock-N-Load Quick Trickle Powder Trickler,

I would really like you to give us a review of the Quick Trickle when you start using it. I've been looking at one, but would like to know how well it works.

Good unit, you'll like it. Just wished it ran a little faster.
