More paper cartridges,I've started using nitrated paper lunch sacks for the bodies and coffee filters for the bases, makes them much sturdier. 20 grains pyrodex P, an unlubed felt disk and an 80 grain RB.
Loaded 3 boxes of 12 ga. dove loads last nite.

That's cool, what do you shoot those in? Civil war era piece? Whats an RB? I had a Navy Arms reproduction 12 ga years ago. Had fun with it squirrel hunting.
RB=round ball. I've got a 36 cal Colt 1851 navy reproduction. It is fun to tinker with and I''ve gotten to where I carry it anytime I'm in the woods for whatever booger I might run across. Ammo is dirt cheap if you cast your own bullets. Plus I don't have to live by the whims of what ammo I can find. Power is roughly equal to a .380.
 
I loaded a ladder of 6.5 Grendel 129 ABLR's today with AA2520. I'm interested to test that bullet on some pigs. I believe I need to put a a normal scope on though to really test accuracy instead of testing accuracy with thermal.
 
I turned on the tumbler with some .45 Auto brass in it and loaded about a hundred .45's and about 125 9mm. I loaded the .45 with 200 gr. SWC and 6.5 gr. Herco, and loaded the 9mm with 125 gr. lead RN and 5.0 gr. Herco. I already had the Herco sitting on my bench so, went for it.
