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.......

Re: What did you do at your reloading bench today?
Whoops! Forgot to mention, loaded up 20 rounds of .45 Colt with 6.0gr Red Dot/250gr rnfp bullet, coated. And 25 .45 acp with 5.0gr Red Dot/230gr LRN and 25 with 4.8gr RD, same bullet. Hopefully, desert shoot next week. Think I'll take my 1911 out this time. It's due.

Re: What did you do at your reloading bench today?
Tom, my first time in this rodeo...
Seems either of the 4350's are good, but I don't have enough to amount to anything.
A local guy, hmm, 35 miles one way, had some A 4350, and the new Hodgdon manual has data for it.
So I may skip down there tomorrow and grab one.
H 4895, and Win 748 are a couple I have on hand to try.
Varget, which I've never used.
Funny thing this afternoon while zeroing the scope, I was shooting some 140 Federals.
I got a hint of the burned powder, and it had that sweet smell that I've smelled before.
I'm wanting to say it may have been LVR of the CFE, but I've not seen any data.
Need to do some digging.

Re: What did you do at your reloading bench today?
I've been loading long enough that I don't exactly remember when I started.
Somewhere in the early 2000's, started with pistols the 41 mag. is what got me started, then the 44, 357 and 45 acp. After a couple years I ventured into rifles 35 Rem I believe was the first.
Now I load for every cal. I own, load a few 30-06, and load some 270's for a close friend.
But I'll say these Creedmoor bullets are the longest thing I've ever seen.
Check 'em out from the left,
130gr .277
155 gr .308
130 gr .264 & Lord have mercy the
147 gr .264
