    Since I went to the range tonight, I decided I have to replace what I shot. Now just have on 115gr, 124gr, or 147gr.

    Powder throw is set for 115/124, but I want 147.

    Just finished pulling and reloading 50, 308 win rounds. It was my first go round with an rcbs collet puller. The thing worked like a champ ! Minimal marks on bullets with great bite. I may never use an impact puller again.
    Congratulations on that. A collet puller works well but the impact puller is quicker for me.

    Been thinking of sizing some 38s I have laying around but my garage is too damn hot. All activities might be on hold until sept-oct time frame.

    Kinda light for 9mm. I bet they'd be screamers and do some damage.i load them for the wife's 380 after watching a guy on YouTube test all sorts of different ammo for expansion.

    After watching the same guy do 9mm I switched to HST bullets though.

    It’s what I could find available at a reasonable price. Plus it’s my first attempt at hollow points

    I have been loading the Lehigh Xtreme Defense and am very happy with their performance, and they are available.

    Thinking of using BE-86 for the powder. Works great with my 147gr rn

    What you can find sure makes a difference these days.

    Do you have a chronograph? I'm interested to see how fast you get those guys going. Always wanted to try some in 9mm for the hell of it but never got around to it.

    I'm not finding any data for that light of a bullet with be-86. There's plenty of other powders with data though.

    No chronograph. I may need to invest in one

    Always a good reason to get another powder

    I’m thinking between 4 to 5 gr loads. Could also be a good excuse to get a 380 pistol
