What did you load or shoot today?

[KEHO]

Just got finished loading up 250 rounds of copper plated 230 grain RN .45s. Yesterday I finished up 200 30-06 M1 rounds that I had been "working" on for a few weeks now. I'm happy to have those reloading trays and bench space available again!

Shot some of my light load (4.6gr Unique over 115gr PLRN) "subcompact plinkers" yesterday. From a bench I was able to stay on paper with my Shield, even with my weak hand.

For some reason I've been in the reloading mood this week. Loaded 500+/- .223, about 150 .300BLK, and prepping some more .223 brass to load tonight.

Just got a Ruger Mark 1 that my grandfather owned he bought it in 1974 and it still shoots like it came right out of the box it is a very nice shooting pistol

Not today but over the weekend about 300 rounds of .40
Mixed brass
7.5 grains HS6
180 grain Powerbond copper plated flat nose.
Federal small pistol primer.
Actually didn't go shoot them all like i usually end up doing. I am trying to have some type of stock pile and will end up with about 750 rounds after this box of bullets is done.

I have an old Enfield that keyholes. It is very accurate cutting nice even X shaped groups with any slug used all the way out to 100 yds.

I finally decided what to do about the problem.

I spent the day working up round ball loads. I want to see one of those babies keyhole!

Anybody have any idea how many FPS you get out of a 45gn roundball and 5 gns of Unique?

 

[45-70]

I made up a few of these for my 1895 Marlin today.

450 grain bore riders cast from a Lee 457-450-F mould, .459 drive band diameter with a .450 nose seated in a trimmed 45-70 case.

If you can get a round ball to keyhole, the beers are on me!

Loaded up 40 rounds of 25-'06, 110gr AB's over a heaping helping of H4831SC.

Didnt load anything today but dropped a couple mags through my Daniel Defence MK18 with an AAC M-4 2000 on it.

 

[Sirshredalot]

Over the 4th we shot off about 500 pistol rounds and at least 200 shotgun shells.

I was able to shoot a golf ball off of a tee at 20ish yards!!! with a 200gr PSWC .45acp with 5.4gr titegroup...this is my load from now on!

When we ran out of golf balls we switched to walnuts with good success as well.

I just got done sorting my brass...too bad Im running low on bullets....gonna hit the richmond show this weekend in hopes of finding some.

God bless

I fired the Savage 10 FCP .308 using some Federal Gold Match 168gr ammo. I had a couple of groups sub moa. Now i just have to work up a load myself and see if i can do better.

 

[straight-shooter]

Just got back from the range again. I loaded up some handloads and believe i found the sweet spot. I used a Savage 10 FCP .308 for this group.

Looks like you have a very good load there. Now try to increase the # of shots to see if it will hold that same level of MOA.

 

[spencer rifle]

No. 56 Spencer blanks, black powder, centerfire, based on 32 gauge shotgun shells.

As alot of you know I found that the 42.7gr load was too hot even though the accuracy was good. I went back to the range today with some tamer loads and found something to work with.

I want to try to reuse my 12 ga SST slug hulls which are too short to crimp on my press, so…

1-1/8 oz Wax Slugs! Gonna see what I can do with these and my rifled barrel at the 100 yd range at the end of the month.

Now that would be an interesting range report to read. Keep us updated.

Oh and to bring this back. I am getting ready to head down to he mad scientist's labratory (reloading section of the mancave) and start the panlubing process to load some more .45-70 BP loads.
