    I made or rather my Dillon made 200 rounds of 45ACP with 200 grain RMR RN bullets and 4.7 gr of WST. Going to the range this afternoon to see if they work.

    Loaded some 65gr gameking in .223.
    Waiting on a break in weather to make final scope adjustments and prove ballistics out to 400 yd.

    I never really thought about shooting my AR past 200 yds, but recently shot my bull barrel AR at 300 yds. It was less than an inch low, but dead center. That bull barrel is pretty awesome. I'll need a better scope to shoot further than that.

    Get better targets. Bigger and more pronounced will help with a weak scope at longer ranges.

    Ordered 50pcs of .308 brass from Peterson Cartridge Company to try out.

    Gonna order a box of Barnes 175gr Match Burners to try out as well. Shows a slightly higher BC than Hornady and Sierra offerings.

    I hear that stuff is the bee's knees. Let us know how it works.



    Today I didn't load anything but I bought my wife a sleek and stylish new unloader in 380.

    I got an alert for your post and I don't know why. I'm guessing there's a 380 in the future. The girlfriend's daughter got a Glock 43. Another guess is it's range time.

    Bought a few hundred more HBSWC .38 bullets and some JHP Nosler .44's. Why companies offer magnum caliber pistol bullets that they say "don't go over 1250 fps" is a mystery to me. What's the point?

    I'm going to head out to lone star converse tomorrow. You're welcome to call me with. I have a couple new pistols to try and want to abuse my 22 a little

    Cleaned a couple hundred pieces of 9mm brass. Moved the ammo cabinet to make room for another reloading bench.

    I've pretty much only shot Hornady in 44 Mag since around 1990.

    Just missionary for you huh? I've tried all kinds of stuff.
    44 is an extremely versatile round to reload. I have some that are soft enough for the kids to shoot, and some that make the leverevolution look like cowboy action loads. I use SWC’s, JHP’s, Semi JHP’s, and my favorite is Hornady XTP.
