What are you reloading today...???

[clovishound]

I'll be loading some .38s with HP38 for the model 10 later today. Tomorrow I plan to load up some .357s for the Henry in the hope that I can get to the range on Tuesday.

My accuracy load for Henry BBS .44 mag. is clearly IMR 4227 and Hornady 240 HP XTP, Starline brass and WLP primers. It does not reach the velocity that H110 does. But chronographs well and the SD is very low.

Put together some plinkers for my old Marlin 30-30 using MBC 165 gn coated FP and 8.5 gn Herco. This load is a real pleasure at the range. Shoots clean and recoil is almost nonexistent. Fairly accurate at modest distances as well.
This is just a fun range load. Wouldn't use this load for hunting.

Just got some HiTek coated 255g Keith type bullets for my BB 45 Colt Carbine. I'm going to try to work up some loads for deer hunting using H110.

Busy day at the bench. 50 rounds of 357 mag for the Henry Big Boy Steel using 158 gn jacketed FP and AA#7. Also, 50 rounds of 40 S&W for the FN using 180 gn Berry's HP and AA#7. Primed 100 more 40 S&W cases then tumbled, decapped, and sized 200 45LC cases.

I will be loading 223 Remington this evening if I get a chance. Going to the range Friday if it is not windy. I have a pair of 223's to get ready for some ground hog hunts coming up in June after the first hay cutting. It is still rainy weather here and the muddy conditions at the range road I could do with out. Have to see what the weather does today and tomorrow before I decide on going. I have a few different loads to try in these two rifles so I would like to have a day to shoot with little to no wind. Probably load about 50-60 rounds of different powder and bullet combinations. Still using my old RCBS Rock Chucker press I bought in the 70's and my old scale and Lyman powder measure. Maybe should up grade a few items but I like my old stuff to well.

So far, I've been through about 750 of these handloads using the same recipe. They're just above Hodgdon's starting loads for use in my revolver, but I also shoot them in my Big Boy.

I keep all of my working brass in labeled boxes that identifies the headstamp and the primer. I make "cigar ring" labels for the finished box of ammo that indicates the bullet and the powder information. Then I lock them in the ammo cabinet for my next trip to the range.

Once they've been fired, I clean the brass, prime the cases, and put them back in their box, then I check off the number of times that they've been fired.

I loaded these yesterday.

Great system. I wish I was that organized.
All of my pistol/revolver brass ends up tossed into caliber specific bins until I have enough to justify tumbling a batch. Head stamps always end up mixed and I have no clue how many times individual cases have been loaded. I'm careful to inspect each case before loading and keep revolver brass trimmed to uniform length to ensure consistent crimp.
I try a bit harder with rifle brass. It all gets sorted by headstamp and number of times reloaded gets logged.

...keep revolver brass trimmed to uniform length to ensure consistent crimp.

I used to trim the brass, but after doing it once, additional trimming never made a difference. Now, I don't trim them at all. Because I use brass of the same origin in each box of cases, when I crimp, which I do as a separate and last step, I reset the die for the length of the cases in that particular box. It's an easy adjustment to make. Knock on good Henry wood -- I haven't had any issues.

Probably not today. But I need to reload 45/70. Shot up all I had in the last 2 days.

Getting low on 44 mag handloads as well.
