What did you do today in the world of reloading?

[Moonpie]

I might know a guy who has a Remington 141 in .30Rem for sale or trade. Some ammo too.

 

[hornetguy]

Today I loaded up the zombie wadcutters, and some 125gr Lee cast, with traditional lube.

 

[Moonpie]

Yesterday at the indoor range I found fourty two .45Colt and sixteen .44 Special cases in the trash barrel. Scarfed that up. LoL
Prepped them this morning. They all loaded now. Ready to shoot.

Nice nab!

 

[Moonpie]

Loaded 100 rds of 45LC.
Brass prepped 44rds of 44Spl brass, sorted out 200 additional pieces of 45LC.
All are ready to load.
Tried to get something done before it gets too hot out there.

I loaded a couple 12oz shiners last night. That's probably all I'll be doing until after summer at this point. Too hot to go into the garage.

loaded test batches of 50-70 using 5744. As soon as the rain lets up going to chrono and check for pressure.

Let me know how the loads work out!

That's a range report. I like flowery prose but a "Just the facts" report can be a breath of fresh air. Thanks.

I was liking that too!

Thanks Rick. I'll use the starting loads to try out in my trapdoor.
Any luck with the hollow base bullets?

I have not loaded smokeless for the 45-70 yet, I was waiting for the 5744.
The goal is come up with a safe smokeless load that approximates the accuracy I get with the Holy Black. I am going to try your hollow base along with my cast, and see what works.

Did that with my fiancé’s son. He’s got everything he needs to load 270 and 223.

 

[Vaquero]

I did that to Robert a long time ago.
