    New powder for the 7mm-08. Loaded up 5x 10rd test loads for it. Excited to get it back out finally. I think the last time I shot it was with Robert and moonpie and that was 1.5+ years ago!

    After I finished the 50rds of 7mm I started sizing some 45s. Made it through 100 but my arm is sore from not reloading since June. Gotta rework up the muscles


    What’s your go to powder for 6.5 grendel.
    I found that 30.5 gr of cfe223 and 123gr SST’s have the same point of impact on my gun as the store bought hornady custom 123gr sst

    It's the boss man's rifle. He hasn't gotten powder for it yet so I haven't started to load for it yet. I told him about some powders but just gotta wait for him to pull the trigger on a jug.

    rp, what powder are you using for your 7-08? I’ve had good luck with Varget & Sierra 140 gn btsp bullets before.

    Guy at work sold had a lee pro1000 for cheap so he brought it in for me. Setup for 45 already. Might just bolt it to the bench and save the other p1k solely for 9mm and use this one for other calibers. Sized about 600 pieces of 10mm brass tonight.

    I need to get out and start casting again I guess.

    Ordered this S&W 1911 Model E Last week. Pick it up tomorrow. Did some research, liked what I saw and read. Excited to run some rounds thru it this weekend. Has anyone had any experience with these 1911's?

    Decided to do some casting tonight. Went out and found my 9mm mold in horrible shape and needing to be replaced. Bummer. So I dug through the drawer and found a brand new 9mm mold sitting there! It's like finding 20 bucks in the laundry!

    The old mold was well used and very abused when I received it free years ago. It was rained on after one session a couple years ago. The top of the mold had a lot of scrapes in in and it left a flashing on the base of some bullets. It really needed to be resurfaced or something. I guess I was 1 step ahead last season and got the new one.

    Nice trigger on them out of the box. The front strap checkering wasnt as aggressive as I like. Overall I think you will like it, most people I have talked to do

    I love it when I find reloading stuff I've forgot about.

    My second shipment of PMC 308 OF brass arrived the other day. Got 1k PCs for under $200. Wet pin tumbled so it looks fantastic. Almost have a few loads dialed in so I'm looking forward to batching out a few hundred 168smks, 175smks and some 150gr FMJ.

    This new mold is great. Almost every bullet has dropped free with a quick shake. Can't really tell how deep this pile is but that's about 600 more dropped last night. Working on 3000-3500 total
