After I get caught up loading for my hungry .308, Ill be enjoying only prepping and loading a box at a time. My OCD had me buy hundreds of brass cases for each rifle anyone I know owns, after getting started in reloading.

I did 150 9mm xtreme's, and 50 .44 cal that I hand-cast for .44 special. The 9mm are loaded at 1.105 over 4.1gr Titegroup. The .44 are at 1.48" over 7gr Unique. I also hand made a part ( the handle ) to convert my Hornady LNL powder measure to a stand alone unit to serve as my .223 powder measure. I had problems with the Horny, and went to a Lee unit with their micrometer measure and powder-thru to use on my LNL AP press.

I prep'd 100 rounds of match .308. I had to replace my scale, so I have to delay finishing the cartridges until the new one arrives.

00Medic, 7.0 and 7.2 is pretty much the ceiling on my Open barrel at close to 1500fps, not good. I got it dialed to 6.5gr and it is running at 1380fps. I really thought 7.0gr wasy load; as I've seen countless times on the net. Chrono is really reqired dialing 9major loads.

Anywho, I did 200 rds of 9major tonight:
Precision Delta 124gr JHP
6.5gr Win Autocomp
Win Small Rifle primers
1.155 COL

Also did 250rds 9minor
4.3gr Bullseye
Xtreme 124gr PL RN
Win Small Pistol primer
1.128 COL

I just finished putting away the residual stuff from last night's session which saw 405 new .45 Long Colt loaded with Speer 260 grain semi-jacketed hollow point bullets on top of WW primer, nickel Star Line cases, and 12.9 grs. of Blue Dot.

A favorite for my S&W Model 25.

Loaded up 100 rounds of 223 and 300 blackout the other night. Will load up a couple hundred more of each tonight.

Waiting for a case feeder and toolhead for the xl650 so I can setup for sizing 223 and converting them to 300 blackout.

Then need to order up some conversion kits for 9mm, 40, 10mm and maybe 45.

Loaded 150 rds of .223 using silver state M-193, 55 gr FMJBT over 25.2 gr of H335. CCI #41 primers.
Also loaded another 200 rd of 55 gr FMJBT using 26.1 gr of BL-C2 with CCI #450 magnum primers.

I went out to the SSZS to test them yesterday but the 20 mph wind gusts played havoc with my targets. Surprising to me was the H335 shot a lot flatter in the wind at 250 yards than the BL-C did. This was the first time I used H335.

Not loading but close enough.

I took 200 pieces of new Lapua 260Rem brass and trimmed them to 1.915" on a Hornady camlock trimmer with power adapter.

Then used a Lyman debur and inside chamfor tool to clean the mouths of the cases.

Used K&M flash hole deburing tool to uniform and flare the flash holes.

Uniformed all primer pockets using the K&M primer pocket carbide uniformer.

Tumbled for 4 hours to polish and clean cases.



I still need to FL size down to 6.5 Creedmoor, expand the necks, neck turn, anneal, neck size, final trim on a Trim-It II trimmer and tumble.


Converting cases from one caliber to another is a major PITA. But to have fully accurized Lapua 6.5 Creedmoor brass is worth it!

That's pretty close to what my loads have been for 300blk. But I have been using h110. Should give you some good results with the 150s. I'm using Barnes tac-tx 110grn but loading those for my ruger ranch.

I just loaded some 110s and 147s with lil gun to try out.

223 I'm running 55grn fmj with 24.8grn of 335

Took the 300blk out a couple weeks ago to break it in. Might load up some 175 SMK's also before I take it back out. I also have a pound of 4227 to try out.
