Waved my magic wand and turned the above primed cases into real live 300 Blackout cartridges. Time to take the AR to the range and zero the scope. Thanks to BigAl for the loading advice to create this load.

Looks good Hatch. Hope the range trip is successful and rewarding.
I sized, and primed 30 pcs of 300 Sav., 20 with mag lr for the 748/150gr Speer. Loaded and put away. The other 10 with reg lr for some cast 173gr., with some unique.
Showed some promise right off the get go.😉

I do that too, with odd numbers of whatever, brass, bullets, primers. Nothing wrong with that.
Looks like a good time Mr.Dog

Cool fall day so I decided to put together some 45 Colt loads. Made 300 to fill up some of the empty brass I had. Looking forward to a range day with the lever actions and my Ruger New Model Blackhawk.

Full 100 round plastic ammo boxes is a pretty sight.

Well, I first loaded 10 41 mags., some 270+ gr wfn over some H110.
Going for the woods walking and close range deer hunting.
These shot well back in the summer, hopefully see what they can do.
Then, I tried my hand at reforming some 308 brass into 300 Sav.
I trimmed and sized and retrimmed, but they wouldn't chamber completely.
So I annealed them and ran them through the sizer once again, and yeeha.
They chambered, probably should have annealed before I sized them the first time. :roll:
Hey, live and learn. Like I said it was my first time and I learned. ;) :lol:
Going to load 'em with some cast 174 gr and unique and give 'em a go tomorrow.

Loaded up 42 rounds of 7mm-08 Rem. I bought some Privi 7mm 120 grain HP bullets to try out for steel and paper. They're much less expensive than using hunting bullets (Nosler, Sierra, Hdy). They don't group as tightly, but they ring the bell quite well. Used 45.3 grains of IMR 4350.
