Loading up 30 .45 Colt: 250gr coated rnfp[T & B], 15 with 7.5 Universal, 15 with 7.3 BE-86. Positive the Universal load will be good, just forget about BE-86 performance in .45 Colt. Find out soon enough.

I received two more lyman t-8 turrets, but the mounts for my wall are on back order. So, I'll get them set up as soon as those mounts arrive.

Love the CZs. I took my CZ hammer coach gun to the range with my son to shoot skeet ! (Just to show him I could).

He just bought the CZ redhead 20 gauge (not target) for his wife and she loves it as well.

Pop those Pigeons Big Al !

Loaded up 48 rounds of 45 colt.
Some 200gr RFN over 6.0 grs. of Trail Boss.
Gonna run them through the Rossi 92 and the Marlin Cowboy here in a bit.
Lol, you might ask, why 48 :D well that's how many already primed pieces were in the can. ;) :lol:

Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......

Do you buy your shot local RnG or online. Local club here has it for 55.00 25lb bag. But Ive checked around where I live and cant seem to locate much. I see roro metals has it for 70.00 delivered if you buy 150.00 worth.

I have not had any luck finding shot in any LGS. I have to order it online. I have ordered from rotometals (right now they have (2) 25 lb bags of 7.5 Eagle Magnum for $140.00 with no shipping fees. I have also used Powder Valley, Precision Reloading and Ballistic products for shot and wads.

$55.00 for 25 pounds is a pretty good deal.

Are you able to buy once fired hulls from your gun club? Unfortunately for me I am so rural I have to drive an hour and a half to get to a trap/skeet range. Most of my trap is from my Champion launcher on a wobble base.

I bought some hulls from Billy D’s supplies. Remington STS hulls. Bought 500 last year. They are good hulls. Been using Universal Clays and a claybuster wad with 8.5 shot. Think we are using bushing 21 for powder.
