What are you currently reloading?

[std7mag]

Today was spent loading 185gr Sierra JHP for the 45ACPs i have.
Plus some 90gr Sig V Crowns for the Walther PPS in 9mm.
Plus 125gr V Crowns for the H&K VP9.

Along with internet searching for scope, rings, base, dies, & brass for the new Weatherby Mark V Weathermark LT in 7mm Weatherby i picked up yesterday.

Tonight I'm going to be loading for my new 7-08 for the first time.
I want to use H4350 and 140gr E-Tips.
Anyone used this combo before?

Loaded up 5 - .30-06 with Varget and the 137gr. Hammer Hunters yesterday. Using the Barnes load data for the 130 gr. TTSX I took the max (56.5 gr) and progressively dropped back .5 gr each case - case #5 has 56.5 gr, case #1 has 54.5 gr.

I'm trying to work up a load for my dad's '06 that he handed down. It's a early 80's M70 Carbine. 20" pencil barrel, super light, great to carry; can be a bit punishing to shoot for an extended amount of time.

Same combo I’m using in my .280 Remington setups.

I have no idea yet I'm getting a 7wsm built and in the process of getting components. Can't source accubonds or partitions. Looking at E-tip, TTSX, and CX.

tonight 6.5 prc, New ADG brass, .262 mandrel run through it, Fed 210M primer, 56.5 RL26 and a 139 scenar. 50 rounds for plinking on the weekend. Will tweak powder charge next summer after I have 300 of the ADG brass shot once, but I'm getting around 1/2" five shot group at 200m so it's as good as I can ask for.

Ya, I guess that’ll do. If your into that kind of thing.

Playing with a 17” barreled 6.5 pic. Already have a load for hunting season just playing around right now with some 109 grain absolute hammers and powders that haven’t been tried yet

 

[Redman]

Working on loads for my wife's Browning X bolt in 7mm08. Norma brass, CCI mag primers, 44gr of Varget topped with a 120gr Barnes TTSX. Hopefully it is as easy as my X Bolt in .308 to get a accurate load for!

What kind of velocities are you getting with the 17” barrel? More or less of a drop than you expected?

109 absolute hammer is 3300
140 Berger goes 2820

140 Berger goes 2820

That's really not that bad. Not really sure why I was thinking it would be more.

It’s a fun little rifle

I found the 143s shoot way high and ran out of adjustment with the factory sights. Mine wears Skinner rear and I'm looking at having to buy a new front based on their information

3372fps with a 109 absolute hammer sitting on top of varget of all things

Actually, now that I think about it, that makes sense with the short barrel and low bearing pressure of the AH.

That’s what I was shooting for. Hit peak pressure a little earlier down the barrel
