What did you do at your reloading bench today?

[Dahliathemeh]

Don't know if you his counts, but I have made another 8 speedloaders for fungun.

JEBar,
Thanks! I opened an account and asked to be notified.
I saw these once before sometime ago and was leery of what they categorized as a blemish. Thought it might be a construction or dimension issue and maybe affect terminal performance. But I'll give them a try!

[JEBar]

when it comes to performance they are first class .... I load them and big game hunt with them .... have no worries whatsoever

Got a notice that my order of Hornady 230 gr. XTP .45 bullets have been shipped. Maybe see them Monday.

I finally broke down and ordered an RCBS Chargemaster powder dispenser. Found it on sale at Natchez and it’s supposed to arrive tomorrow. I have 200 .223 cases prepped and ready for powder so I’ll be giving it a test drive this weekend.

You're gonna really like that Chargemaster Hatch.

10-4 on the Chargemaster .... we've been using one for a good while .... its accurate but it is SLOW .... relax and let do its thing

That’s what I understand from reading on it a bit. Probably about the same as my current method using an Uniflow, scale and trickler. Accurate is better than fast. I’m looking forward to giving it a run.

[JEBar]

do recommend that you keep the manual at hand .... it has very specific startup and setting sequences .... I find that referring to the manual helps insure I don't have to go through them more than once

Hot dang! Went out to the shop to load some .357, looked in the cabinet and found I already loaded 'em! A bonanza! Well, guess I'll prep some .45 acp cases instead. Sticker says I loaded those on the 11th.

[NHshtr]

Just like Christmas! Like ammo under the tree!

[Rifletom]

Sized[deprimed], flared and primed 100 .45 acp cases. Will drop powder, either Universal or BE-86 over the weekend. Lordy, I have a LOT of .45 acp brass! I think this stuff multiplies in my shop!

Rifletom,
We must be on the same shooting schedule. I just loaded 100 rounds of .45 ACP. I used WST and 230 grain lead TCN Hitek coated bullets.
Here are 50 of them.

just got a notice from Shooter's Pro Shop that they have some Nosler 7mm 152 Grain E-Tip Banded Bullets (BLEM) - 50ct .... their E-Tips are solid brass bullets .... deep penetration and in our 30 calibers they group like ballistic tips of the same weight .... they are outstanding big game bullets

Looking good there NHshtr. I'll be dropping powder today. Desert trip coming up!

[NHshtr]

If this weather don't break soon, I'm going to start shooting down the hall.

I like my Chargemaster but like Jim says its slow. I use it for extruded powders more than anything. When loading 223 I use a ball powder and I have a Redding powder throw that is really a good one. It throws very consistent charges of ball powder.

I found my Uniflow did a real good job with consistency a while ago when I was loading some 357 with Win 296. A ball powder as you said. Previously all my ball powder loading was done on my Lee Turret press using the Lee Auto-Disc powder measure which too did a pretty good job with consistency. When using the turret press I would do a powder and over all length check on every tenth round. For a cheap measure the Lee was pretty good. These were revolver loads and I wasn’t looking for super accuracy but the 357 loads I did recently are for my Henry rifle so I wanted better accuracy. Most of my loading is using Varget, an extruded powder and I’m looking forward to the Chargemaster running that powder.
