What did you do at your reloading bench today?

[NHshtr]

Anxious to get more bench time, but so far I've prepped 50 .308 Win cases to try a few ladder loads later in the week. I've been using BLC2, but want to try some RL15, and Varget with a Sierra 165 gr. SP.
Went to the LGS to look over the powder and all they had was some odd stuff. But I picked up two hundred Federal small pistol primers (max per customer). Price: $6.99 per 100. I have several hundred in the cabinet still, but I figured I'd get these since they were available.

Loaded 200 45acp 230 gr cast...6.0 gr unique as recommended.. bullets were free, brass was free. primers bought last year $28 per 1000.. 1200 gr of unique.. comes to $3.15 per box of 50

That's what I'm talking about.
Look good.

I need to do the same in 45 ACP with 230 gr XTP.

Sized, primed and expanded 101 41 mag cases (Starline put an extra in the bag ) and loaded four laddered loads using the Hornady 210 XTP and H110. I’m finding that loading handgun cartridges for rifles we are pretty limited in the powder charge range. Both the Speer and the Sierra manuals list rifle data for the 41 mag but the Hornady manual didn’t. I get out in the next day or two and make them go bang.

Ill be curious as to how you get along with H110. I have never had any luck with it. And you usually need a max charge of it to do any good.

I'm also interested in following your process .... H110 and W296 are our go to powders for our 44 Mag ammo

[Rifletom]

Dang, you guys have me feeling bench guilt! Plan is to load up 100 .45 acp with some Universal and Unique. 230 gr LRN and plated. There!

Will do Al and Jim. I would like to use 2400 as you have suggested but I haven’t found any. I’ve been watching our local trader page like a hawk as several members have been offering powder to trade looking for what they are short of. Good way to get powder without paying the current stupid price if one could even find any. So far no go so for now it’s H110. When I last had a 41 mag and loaded for it I used 296 but decided not to use it as it’s my go to powder for 357 and I’m down to less than two pounds. Probably hit the range tomorrow as it’s supposed to get windy today with 25 mph gusts.

Man thats prime shooting weather for RR. He could probably shoot the center out of a target at 100 yards in those calm conditions.
