I loaded up 3 boxes of 1 and 1/8 oz of shot for dove this weekend... These STS hulls make the perfect crimp...

H4831sc should be on your short list!
My 7mm rm loves IMR4831 - I started out with the Nosler manual recommended accurate load and dialed in from there. Good luck
Loaded 30 rounds of my 300 WM elk load for some 800-1000 yard trigger time next weekend in preparation of my Wyoming elk hunt next month.

I prepped and primed new 7SS brass to take to MSSA tomorrow for its maiden voyage. Going to 100 yds initially to test speeds with 2 or 3 powders and 2 bullets. I modified a Wilson seater on the lathe and threaded 2 cases to use with Hornady OAL tool. It will be fun, have not shot in a month of Sundays it seems.

Haven't spent time in the hobby/reloading room in a while. I've got 4 new guns to work up loads for and plan to get out the long range 40 cal SML. Just recieved a stick of 17-4 stainless to make a new breech plug I want to experiment with.
Weighed some powder charges and sized some 300gr Pittman Aeromax projectiles that were very accurate last time it was out 2 years ago.
Obviously, no brass

Prepping some 300 WM brass today to start load development. I should really try to get in a monogamous relationship with one rifle, but I just can't do it.
It can get overwhelming playing the field!
Good luck Tim! Thinking conditions may be good today!
Those sts hulls have become my favorite above AAs. I've got some old Peters Blue Magic hulls that are still going from the early 80's!
Just to prove that I can't stay in a relationship with only one rifle, I prepped some 6.5 PRC brass today.

Loaded 50 more 7mm-08 rounds for my son's rifle. Only have 1 more box of Nosler 120gr BTs on the shelf after this, hoping they release some more. Anyways, using new Starline brass, max charge of Varget, CCI#200 primers and 120 Nosler Ballistic tips. My son killed his first deer with this load last year and I took one during rifle with it as well.

Two big wins this weekend: 1) my brother-in law scored me 3 lbs of RL-26 at his LGS, and 2) I finally got around to grinding down a Pachmayr recoil pad on my M70 7mmWSM (and boy did it need it).

Nicely done on the pad! I have done several over the years so I can appreciate the nice work!
Loaded some sts and aa 20 ga 3/4 # 8.5 shells. Got a couple more boxes to go.

Continuing my search for my favorite 6.5 grendel load. 129 nosler accubond long range over 27 gr of aa2520. I have a few hogs back around the house so I may see how these perform tonight and see if they outperform my current favorite 6.5 grendel bullet (120 Sierra Prohunter). The ABLR's are an easy loading bullet for sure.
