What did you do today in the reloading room?

[utvolsfan77]

Any of you long-time reloaders in the upper East Tennessee area? I'm in Greene County and would like to observe others' setups and process. I've got the basics down pretty good, but I'm looking for finer points to wring out as much accuracy as I can, from my rifles and my ammo.

Warmer weather?! Try shooting a competition in 18 degrees with WC in the single digits! I think that golfball actually jumped out in front of the bullet to put itself out of the misery out there!

If you could make a trip down to Dead Zero or Mtn Top Shooting Range sometime, Dead Zero in Van Buren County, and Mtn Top in Warren Co I believe, there are a few guys around here that could show you a few things I'm sure.

This weather is unbelievable for Feb! I'm hoping to get out and prep some more brass and maybe load a few this afternoon.

I loaded a few hundred sporting clays loads with AA hulls, Super Handicap powder, some old WAA12 wads, chiddite primers, and #8s.

I also took my new Beretta 694 for its first outing. I almost ran a round of skeet, but I missed both station 8 high house targets because of the lighter weight of this gun. It'll take some time to retrain my muscle memory of getting the gun moving, but I'm extremely happy with it.

That's beautiful wood grain on that stock!

Thanks. Joel Etchen seems to always have a good selection.

Just came in from depriming some Hornady 6.5 Creedmoor cases and then tumbling them in the SS pin tumbler. Beautiful shiny brass cases. They're drying now and I'll likely size and prep them tomorrow, might even get them loaded.

 

[Jcalder]

Grendels and win mags tonight. Realized my Lee primer tool doesn't have the proper shell holder for the Grendel. That's a bummer.

 

[MUP]

Yea I had a few straggler WinMag cases in with the Creedmoor cases too.

Late yesterday I deprimed and loaded the brass from my last range session in my quest for .223 one hole loads. I loaded 5 rounds each with 23, 23.2, 23.4 and 23.6 grains of WC844 under 69 grain SMK. 23 grains produced sub MOA groups on my last outing but I want to reduce those groups if I can. Gonna be too windy all weekend so I may load some .308 that I have a tried and true recipe for.

 

[backyardtndeer]

Worked on 243 brass prep yesterday, should finish it up today. May do a little shooting today.

 

[MUP]

Sized, trimmed and primed the Hornady cases, then deprimed 120+ starline cases for the Creedmoor as well but I use a different load in them. Got them tumbled and laying out to dry now as well, and will be loading them up with Staball 6.5 and 153 gr ATips.

 

[DCA-DEER]

loaded 50 rounds of 6.5 creedmore and adjusted the trigger on my Ruger precision

 

[farm208]

Anyone know where you can find 165 g 30 cal. Bullets? It seems they are nowhere. I've been looking all over the internet for over a month and can't locate anyone offering them.
I did load some 270 140 g with H4831sc to try. I've always loaded 130s and they worked well but had the 140s and wanted to give them a try too.

Loaded up some 150 gn Berger's and 160gn NBT's for the 280ai. Come on spring!!!!
