What did you do at your reloading bench today?

[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.

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!

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

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.
