What did you do today in the reloading room?

Loaded up 50 280ai loads. 150 Bt's with 60gn of 4831sc. 2938 avg fps set at .20 off the lands. This load is the favorite of my gun so far. Joining a new range Saturday which has target boards & steel out to 1k yards. I'm gonna bring the new Bmr-x as well to see if I can ping some steel at 300 😎.

Sweet, what rifle in 280ai?
 
Last night, loaded 200 rounds of .40S&W, then switched the SDB over to .45acp to start loading for my 1911. It's been a long time since I loaded for the 45 so setting everything up again. Got in new tool plate for the SDB so I can get that round set and have to fiddle with resetting when switching to a different caliber.
3D printed the stand for the 45acp tool head, then cleaned up the bench some. I'll probably start loading the 45 tonight or over lunch today.
 
Over past week decapped over 2K 9mm, over 1500 223, and around 400 mixed caliber from 300 BO to 300 WSM.

Objective is to get all brass loaded with known solutions. Going to spend a lot of time at the range also as some rifles have had scopes upgraded
 
Loaded some 30-30 150gr cast with 700X and SR4759. Decided I need to pick up the Lee Universal expander die to keep from shaving lead off. Will get one of those on order. Received my order from Cabela's of 500 Berry's plated 150 gr. FP for 30-30. On sale and with military discount and free shipping, they would up being less than $0.10 each. As an added bonus, they shoot great in my Dad's old Marlin. Using pulldown 4064 I can shoot the 30-30 for about the same cost as 38 special!
 
Got something I want to try. I found some 284 gr. .45 bullets today, that I didn't know I had. Might not feed in 1911. But, probably will in Mauser. They are a the wide flat point. I thought maybe 5.5 gr. Unique or about that much Herco would give a good load. I know there's nothing to gain here, just wanted to try them. What do y'all think?

More 223. Maybe one more sitting and I'll have them all loaded. Started with 500 empties, weighing each charge.

I have an autoloader just for 223. So far, disappointed would be complimentary. Loading 24.5 gr of SW Tactical Rifle powder. This is the charge we want as it matches up to 25 gr of H335. Just not being successful in throwing a charge. Short, short, over. Have left it setting orphaned for about a month. With over 3500 to do weighing each charge on my 10-10 is gonna just kill me.

I won't say this to anyone but I have 200 nickle cases and 200 70 gr Accubonds to load. Accuracy form my Axis is fantastic but I was hoping to use the autoloader. Oh well.

I've learned 100 at a time is about my max. My mind starts going nuts lol. Debating on trying a chargemaster again. Think I'm down to 70 empty cases. Maybe one night this week.
 
My hand cramps.

My Son just got a SCAR in 308. We have @1,000 Fed Match grade brass and an equal number of 150 gr FMJ's. We have a very very good load of Varget for our Bolt 308, hoping that is the winner. Range already zeroed with some factory junk. Rifle is accurate as can be semi-auto or not.
