What did you do at your reloading bench today?

[DsGrouse]

Loaded my balance of 50 325-grain Hornaday Flex Tip bullets. I meant to grab 350 flat points. I actually grabbed three boxes at the store. One was 300-grain flat points, one was these 325s, and one was 350-grain flat points in .452. Groan. I didn't notice for a week.

I despise Hornady's Flex Tip ammo. I don't want to trim my brass. An hour or so of load development and poof. I've got some 325-grain plinking loads.

My 300 grain campro plated bullets arrived. They should be good up to 2000 fps, but I am elderly now and a wuss. I'm looking for right around 1600 fps.

I still need to find a decent deal on 405-grain bullets, plated or coated for subs.

I picked up a 100 405grain proofmark bullets for the 45-70. I worked up a subsonic load using the powder I've already had good luck with. IMR-3031.

In 90 degree heat, 32grains of IMR 3031 produced an average velocity of 1062fps.

Swapped over the rcbs progressive from 6mm arc to 6.5 Grendel. I ran off some 100ish rounds of 6.5 using 8208xbr, and Nosler 120grn ballistic tips.

Up next are Hornadays 123 grain A-Tips and 120grn-ELDMs. I also have a partial box of 120grain sierra soft points to load.

We'll see how the next few days of loading go.
