What are you currently reloading?

[psinclair]

I'M getting 3150 with my 17" 1-7 barrels, and 3350 with my heavy barreled 22 CM with the same load. The G7 BC went from .307, up to .328 for the 3350 velo.

I'm using R26.....rare pixey dust.. Easy bolt lift, and primer pockets are staying tight. I anneal every firing with an AMP annealer.

Let me look once, I might have some rl26 that I don’t need.

I getting ready to start load development for a custom 250 savage on a shortened Mauser action. It has a 1-9 twist so I'm thinking to start with a 110 grn eldx and RL 15.5. just see where it goes from there

Have been considering the TTSX and Accubond for my 6.5, as well. Have you calculated how far out you are maintaining enough velocity for them to open?

I use 165 ttsx in my .308 for years & they perform well on whitetail.

What are you using for your 300wsm? I’m new to reloading and would appreciate some input. I’m shooting a Tikka3.

Staball 6.5 and 178 gr eldm. Just been using some brass I picked up at the gun show. Expensive. I have 40 once fired Noslers on the way. I will try some 165 gr bullets next. From everything I read, they shine with 150-180 bullets. The rifle I have is a custom. Savage or Steven action, 26' stainless barrel. Has a lot of freebore. Even though its a long action, the mag length limits bullet seating. Currently jumping around .130 I do not want to use it as a single shot. I may look into changing that. It is accurate the way it is but sometimes its just hard to leave things as they are. It has a cheap savage stock on it. No detachable mag. Even though its a Savage, it has no barrel nut. Better quality barrel lug though.

Just finished polishing up some 300 H&H Mag Brass. Next Will be some 30-06

25 creed 135 Berger orange dots are 3/4”. There was a chit load of mirage also from the -weather. Don’t matter what I put thru it, it’s all good.

RL 16 gave me better sd and little tighter group average. H4350 was pretty good also.

25 Creed is on my docket if I ever burn out the barrel in my 6.5. Also heard SAAMI finally approved it within the last couple of weeks.

I think the 25 is my favorite creed, I’m gonna sell all my 6 creed brass/bullets/barrel/dies and stick with 22 and 25.

Home brewed or purchased in the .357?

I load 158 XTP's. 180's sound fun.

Those are from Montana bullet works, they make great hard casts. I’ve been meaning to get into casting myself, I just haven’t yet.

Did all this hunting ammo up while I was bored in January. Bunch of 108’s/133’s/156’s/168’s/195’s. Should be gtg for a minute on hunting ammo.

Loading 300 WSM with some 165 deep curl tonight.

 

[grizzly63]

That didn't go so well. After prepping, priming and loading powder into the cases, I finally opened the box of Deep Curls only to find a warning note to not follow standard loading practices. WTF. Ah, hell, I proceeded anyway. After loading and final crimping 40 different cartridges, I called it good for the night and went inside the house. It had peaked my curiosity so I looked it up on the web. Damn, they can have pressure problems. About half are loaded with Vectan Tubal 8000 which I have load data for but it always seemed to say I can get more powder in the case than I can. Kinda like the starting load is closer to the max load. Not a good thing to take chances with so this morning I pulled all 40 bullets. There really wasn't any marks left on the pulled bullets and I did it with a fencing pliers so I do believe they are case hardened. I then tried to load Nosler 165 Ballistic tips but the bullet was getting stuck in the seating die so I dropped that idea and now have them loaded with 165 Speer boat tails. Just need it to warm up or quit blowing so I can check the fruits of my labor.
