What did you do today in the reloading room?

[Jcalder]

Formed 20 7x57 cases from R-P 30/06 once fired range brass, then annealed them. Ready to tumble and load.

I done that once. Trimming those sucked. But I learned a trick or two and sped it up

I took a hacksaw to these and it helped, as would have a trim die. But it really wasn't bad, and I've got lots of '06 brass.

I used a trim die and a drill. Don't remember what I used to cut them tho. Maybe a Lee cutter. It took some ingenuity

 

[Dbronc1]

I trimmed and prepped some Lapua SRP brass and loaded them (100) with Berger Juggs 185 and 43.0 grains of H4350. Also some trim and prep for Lapua 22-250 AI.

 

[Rockhound]

I processed 300 pcs of 22-250 brass for a 8 twist tikka I got awhile back, 70 pcs of 22 hornet brass, and 100 pcs of 6.5 cm brass.

What bullet you planning in the tikka? Thinking that may be my next adventure

 

[Jcalder]

Loaded 200 223s with 73gr eldm. Weighing each on a balance beam takes awhile, but I had a "sick" kid so it wasn't like I had anywhere to be.

Probably just 60 gr nosler btips for now, I got this particular rifle in case I wanted to venture up the the 70 gr accubond or the heavy eldm line

What's your powder for those? I used them some last year

[PickettSFHunter]

I'm knocking out some more 6.5 grendel with 129 grain accubond long range and aa2520. This load is proving itself on hogs from short to long range. I bought 200 ABLR's initially just to see how they would do but definitely need more now and hopefully at blem prices instead of otherwise!

 

[megalomaniac]

Took out a small loan and loaded up some 7PRCs for barrel break in next Monday. Component prices are just stupid. Paid $1.20 a piece for the Hornady brass, and had to trash 3 right out of the box due to extreme weight variances.

 

[Snowwolfe]

No work per se, but I did purchase a 8 pound jug of Vihtavuori N133. Should work very well in my .405 Winchester and a few other cartridges as well. Worked on prepping some new .340 Weatherby brass. Rifle is being built and should be here in another 3 months or so.

 

[Lost Lake]

Got one broke off in me pretty good buying 2,000 primers, but hopefully I'll be able to sit down in a month or two.

I know the feeling brother, gone are the days when you could buy them for 18.99 per 1k. Crazy to pay over $100 per 1k.

[Johnspo]

Cleaned brass

 

[MUP]

Walked by the bench, looked it over longingly, then grabbed the .22 and went to the range for some match practice.

 

[Remi]

I shot my 22lr pistol and rifle for an upcoming match then I destroyed the seater stem on my .223 dies.
