Sized and primed 45 25-20's, then loaded 25 with 62 gr Hornady pills.
Short break then load the rest with some 86 gr cast.

Got my 3 boxes of 210 gr xtp 41 mag bullets yesterday and a new kinetic bullet puller from Hornady. That bullet puller is alot heavier than any of the others I have had. Hopefully it will last alot longer.

I've loaded Remington, and Wolf gold .223 six times so far. They all still work perfect. Figured it was time to trim them all the same. Probably didn't need to. The Hornady trimmer is nice. Now swaging the primer pocket in a military 5.56mm just plain stinks. Got a bunch of them to do. At least it's better than a poke in the eye with a hot branding iron.

I did those with 12.5 grs IMR4198.
I did a small test a couple weeks back, 12.0, 12.5, and 13, not much difference at 35 yds.
Gonna try these at some different yards and see what they do.

Did do two different loads with the 86 gr cast to try.
5.5 of 2400 &
9.5 of H4198.

Hey RR, sorry to hear about the snow. Its a balmy 100 with 10 per cent humidity here in Arizona with a light breeze. I'm going to hit the range Monday or Tuesday and chrono those 45-70 and 45 colt rounds I just loaded.
