I worked up a good 9mm plinking load with HP-38 and some 115gr DG Bullets. These shot very good through an AR9 and a S&W M&P Shield.

Still playing with choosing a load for the Long Ranger in .243 Win. I loaded two of the best of 9 different loads. One, RL15 38.0 grains with the 85 grain Sierra GK and one 37.4 grains of IMR 4064, same bullet. (Don't try this at home - work up your loads :) ) There'll be a shoot off tomorrow!!!

I also loaded 20 rounds of 7mm-08 for the bolt gun using both a 120 grain Nosler BT and a Sierra 120 grain ProHunter. They both shoot mouse ears through my Tikka. I'll shoot the gong!

Loaded up quantity 143 .357 cartridges for my Henry and 686.

Why 143 and not 150 or 200 or even 144?

Had 43 bullets remains in a box of 100 and did another box of 100. :lol: Left myself two boxes of 100 available in case I want to change my load in the future. A year ago I would have just loaded them all. :(

I found a RCBS Universal decapper for 22-25 calibers today, I have one for the larger calibers.
Brought home and set it up and deprimed somewhere between 500-600 223's.
I will start the cleaning tomorrow.

Changed out the dies, shell plate and adjusted to powder drop on my Hornady LNL progressive. I keep this press set fo large primer cartridges, so I went from 45 ACP to 45 Colt. Getting ready to crank out some new 45 Colt loads.
