What did you do at your reloading bench today?

[fortyshooter]

Forty I do. Not sure how many, pretty sure I about where they are hiding. I'll get back with you.

Thanks Randy!

Hey Al, putting these to a test later.
Got a good friend just south of St. Louis picked up a Henry CCH in 45 colt and said these preformed well in it.
Checked data, between 19.7 and 20.2, with a very max. of 20.8 with extreme caution.
Going to see if the Cowboy or Rossi like either.

That's a good load for the 250 XTP bullet and I load them to 20 gr. for use in my Ruger Bisley Blackhawk, Alaskan and the 45 Colt Henry. They pack a good punch and give 1100 FPS out of my 2.5 inch Alaskan.

Nice of the USPS to get those to you off the dock at Memphis. Its to bad the people at your local PO couldnt of got a hold of someone up there when she mentioned that to you. Glad you are getting to use them. Good looking round

[Vaquero]

Hey, at least they did finally make it here.
A lot longer wait than either of us wanted but it worked out.
Appreciate all that you did, and hey I posted a review in the range section.

Forty, I only found thirty of the small primered .45 auto brass, already loaded. I thought I had more. If I do find any, I'll let you know.

[Shakey Jake]

I loaded up some .357 mag with 158 gr Nosler using 2400 yesterday.

Once the cool weather hits I will reload more 45 Colt 200 gr. I had to shoot a bunch to make room in the cabinets!

Reloaded 24 rounds of .30-06 for the M1 that my 18 year old grandson fired off when he was here visiting us from Seattle a couple of weeks ago. He began shooting the MI was he was only 10, and that was from a shooting sled. These days he shoots it off hand. Doing this, at 75 yards he fired all 24 rounds (3 enbloc clips), into a 6" group. He did this in 2 minutes & 15 seconds to include inserting 2 new clips and he did not get an "M1 Thumb".

I also reloaded 50 rounds of .30-40 Krag for my Krag carbine, 220 gr. Hornady RN bullets atop 33 grs. of R/L 15. Hopefully, the MV will be around 1950 FPS. I am striving to shoot 3" groups at 100 yards. If the rifle will not do that with the 220 gr. bullets, I will drop down to 180 grains spitzers. Need to be careful when reloading these old Krags to keep the pressure below 40,000 PSI.

Addionally, I cleaned the M1, .30-40 Krag, and my Henry. 44 Mag BBB.

[Vaquero]

Cool on the grandson and the M1.

The Black subs are good.
Each serves a niche.
Pyrodex leaves a protective oily residue upon ignition.
... not great for flintlocks.
777 gives about 12% more pressure with same volume so load accordingly.
It also prefers 209 primers but shotshell reloading should be fine.
Personally 777 is my go-to unless a #11 primer is needed

[NHshtr]

Nice buck! Nice rifle!
I like 777 as well. Once you have your load, it's very consistent and will keep tight groups.

[runnin n gunnin]

Just received my Pyrodex RS to load my brass 12 gauge shells for my Hammer Coach Gun. Never gone this route before, looking forward to seeing how it performs.

[Rifletom]

I received my T & B order of bullets today; 250gr coated rnfp. Got 'em in four days and no shipping charge! Gotta like that.

45 colt bullets?
Tracking says my new gong should be here tomorrow, and I ordered it late Tues. afternoon.
Also Free Shipping.

[Rifletom]

Yeah Randy, for the Colt. Looks like shipping is starting to catch back up. A good thing. Bullets and coating[Hi-tek] look like the Missouri ones.
Happy with that.

[Shakey Jake]

Not a darn thing! Maybe another day. I've got plenty loaded right now and can't load some calibers because of the primer shortage.

[NHshtr]

Made up 18 rounds of 7mm-08 Rem. Six rounds each with 3 different charges. Trying to develop a new load with IMR 4350 since I've run out of H4895 which is my go-to powder for that caliber. It's one of the Hodgdon powders made in Australia and things aren't going well there.
Using 120 grain Sierra ProHunters. My usual load shoots real purty from my Savage 110 and I'm hoping I can replicate it with the IMR 4350.

Doing the same for the .243 Win. (Long Ranger). Going to IMR 4831 from RL15. with an 85 grain Sierra GK.
Unless some of the powders I usually use find their way to shelves, I'll be working up new loads before hunting season.
Hope you guys are finding the powder you need.

[Vaquero]

NH, wish we were closer I'd swap ya a lb of 4895 for that 4350.
That's what I use in my buddies 270, and I'm all but out.

Guy at work told me he scored 2000 CCI small pistol primers for $130 at Bass Pro 30 miles away Thursday. Was going to head over but pretty sure they are gone.
