What did you do at your reloading bench today?

[Vaquero]

Is this levergun 38 special ammo or you shooting it outa a 357 handgun

A handgun, Al.
Gonna trying in the King Cobra, and the nephew has a 38 Rossi revolver that will eat most of it.
I don't really care about shooting a lot of 38 through the 357 rifle or KC.

Working on prepping brass. Got 40 cases of 7mm-08 Rem., 40 cases of .44 Rem. and halfway to 40 cases of .243 Win. done today. Will finish the .243 cases and begin to fill 'em all up tomorrow during the snowstorm. What better way to pass time during a blizzard? Also, one eye on the forecast for a decent day to go out and empty them all!

I found a box of the Speer .308 125 TNT-HP that BigAl suggested I try in my 300 Blackout. So yesterday I assembled quite a few using three different powders loading 3-4 loads of each. I’ll be grouping these Speer’s along with some Hornady’s I loaded earlier. Way overkill for what I plan with this rifle but hey, that’s part of the fun!

Looks good Hatch. I will be anxiously awaiting the results of those TNT bullets. How much 296?

I started at 14.5 and went as far as 17.0. My Hornady manual shows 17.5 as max so I stayed just under that. Interesting that Sierra shows 19.0 as max and 16.2 as min. Big difference between the two. I’m using CCI 0041 primers which are considered a magnum primer and my COAL is 2.10 which seems to be the sweet spot according to many who have posted online. Plan is to hit the range tomorrow and give all a try.

I found the same info with 296 as it was all over the board. I had better luck with no issues pushing it over the 17gr. I also read on line with several guys doing the same thing that running it over 17 was better accuracy. Im not sure where I was at as I am away as you know.

Got my Lee factory crimp die in 44 mag and I am loading up some using 6.5gr Unique. with 240 gr XTP.
My LGS has good amount of powder but still no primers. They had 8 lbs Unique for $249 but I have enough.
