What did you do today in the world of reloading?

[TEXAS "All or nothing"]

I was able to acquire fed gm215m's that wasn't an arm and a leg and kidney.

You sound disappointed?

Not disappointed. Just hear it's not an easy one to reload for. I've heard mixed feelings about buying brass from people as well. The cases are coated and people tend to clean them and remove the coating. I think I'm gonna buy a few boxes of factory ammo and use that brass so I know it's history.

Decided on a load for some 300Blk 110g bullets. Stuff is hard to find, so I have to use what I could buy. Will use H110 since I have some, and use it on other 300Blk rounds.

Now to find time to actually load them.

Sat there looking at a pile of brass.
Aw to heck with it. I’ll do something another day. Walked off. LoL

It's hit and miss on how the brass is ejected and NOT damaging it beyond reloading quality. About 1/2 - 1/3 is unusable due to dented cases from ejecting. ps90 and fn57 due harm to the brass along with an ar57. I haven't tried my m&p yet. I would stay away from range brass also (just my opinion).

I've used h110, 296, lil gun and 1680 in 300bo all with 450's. All bullet weight for an 8 1/2" barrel with a 1k muzzle energy (or there abouts). No sub loads, but do have some 185's with just over 900 muzzle energy fo testing.

That's pretty much what I've heard so I'll buy 3 or 4 boxes to start me off. I hadn't heard about case damage from those though. Have you heard anything about the rugers?

Nothing at all about any Ruger. I think a few have 57's on here, but not sure who? I'll see if I can find the thread or remember the name.

try "my 5.7x28's" and it could have some answers?

I just know the 2 fn's and the 1 ar57 I have beat up the brass bad. Fortunately I bought a bunch of AE and FN ammo back when it was less than 40 cents/per. I might get away with 60% to reload? 4 grains of accurate goes a long way (1# = 1,750 rounds).

I looked up primer prices at a few places then abruptly closed the browser. Thank goodness I have a few. My reloader has been collecting dust for a while but with the weather warming up it's time to start pulling that handle again.

I friend just gave me 4k primed brass, bullets, and powder to load for him be a use he was having trouble with the flat base bullets. It's gonna take me a little while to crank these out.

Best for me lately has been Academy, no hazmat.

Last year I had good luck for primers at bass pro in S.A. I drive by every few weeks for work so I'd stop in and they almost always had some. This year they haven't had any. For a couple months it seemed like academy by my shop had winchester #41 primers regularly but I didn't need them at the time and didnt have the cash to buy them anyway.

I check online for both Academy and Bass Pro in the hopes that one of the stores here in San Antonio have some in stock. I've lucked out a couple of times. Was able to order and pay online for same/next day pick up at Academy. Not certain what percentage of time (if any) that the online inventory of the physical store is accurate, though.

Academy and Scheels in N DFW pretty much always has some kind of primer. $7-10 depending on what it is. Like someone said, that is about online prices, but no hazmat fee. And you can buy by the 100.

Was cool and dry this morning.

Perfect for casting.
Fired up the melting pot. Made several hundred .358 RN cast bullets.
