What did you do at your reloading bench today?

De-capped, polished, sized and trimmed 100 pieces of .223 brass. Tomorrow I’ll prime them all and load some to do some ladder testing using Varget and the Sierra .224 69gr Matchking bullet. This is for the Ruger Gunsite I picked up a few days ago. Also I have another 100 pieces sized and primed that I will be using the same components for a load in my Mini 14.

Got my laddered loads for the Mini and the Ruger Gunsite (both 5.56/223) done this morning. I’m heading to the range on Wed to shoot them for group then I’m ready to load up 100 of each. I usually like to shoot five shot groups but I’m conserving bullets.

Test, but, conserve. Even if you have plenty of components on hand, wise to conserve nowadays. Good call Hatch. Heading to the shop and load those .45 Colts I mentioned last week. Comfortable in the shop right now, time to make a move!

Test but conserve. Did Regan say that?

I've got some 45/70 ladder loads I've been trying to shoot, but the weather won't cooperate. I'm only loading 3 of each load instead of 5 to save bullets, etc. Too hard to come by these days.
Forecast don't look promising anytime soon.

Today, I loaded 100 rounds of .45 Colt. Used 6.4 grains of Green Dot, 250 gain lead RNFP Hitek coated.
I shoot .45 Colt in my Ruger New Vaquero, and Uberti 1866 Winchester. Both at steel and lots of fun to shoot.

I've never tried Green dot, I was gifted about a half lb last summer.
Been wondering what to do with it.

Vaquero
I was gifted a pound of Green Dot too (back in 2009) and got this load from the Lyman Manual. Been buying and using it on and off ever since. It's also a good load for bowling pins, Clears the table every time!!!
