What did you do at your reloading bench today?

*89.99 a case on Target Sports today for 20ga and free shipping. I cant load them for that. .36 each before tax. Also Id like to know from you 9mm reloaders how much is it costing you to load them. I see them for .23 a round can you beat that by enough to justify reloading them

Loading up some Matt's 250 gr. full wadcutters in .44 Special with that 5 gr. of Red Dot which works well in the short barrel revolvers.
Mean looking things!

Nice loads Forty. That sheriff's badge adds some distinction to them as well!!

Loaded 20 rounds of 7mm-08 Rem. test loads with 120 gn Sierra pro hunter, over IMR 4350, 45.3 gn, plus some .3 gn below and some .3 gn above. Also some with same bullet with 43.3 gn of Varget. Time to venture into the snow and try 'em out.

Yesterday I loaded up some test loads for my Ruger Single Seven. I loaded some 32 H&R using the Hornady 85 gr XTP-HP. I had previously run a powder test with the 100 gr XTP and for that bullet my Ruger liked Bluedot best. I decided to save my 100 gr bullets for 327 Fed Mag loads so I’m planning on giving the 85’s a try. I’ll see how they do with the Bluedot hoping I won’t need to do another powder test. I have four 100 gr loads prepped from my earlier test that I will shoot for group.

CT_Shooter, that is some serious rounds there. Why, even bigger than a .45-70 by golly!

Yes, the Marlin Cowboy. they perform right well.
I have shot some 10.0 grs. once, not bad.
I shot some of these last summer but I can't find the targets.
And, I want to run some through the Rossi.
May do it tomorrow, if so I'll post a report.
