What are you currently reloading?

[millerkiller77]

Just finished a very boring but effective hunting load.

.308 win,
44.5 grains varget,
165 grain hornady interlock,
Federal brass
Ginex LR primer
2700 fps average (22” barrel)

Can’t get it to shoot over an inch at 100, so I will keep using it I guess.

Do you notice the Ginex are a slightly snugger fit than WLR?

Yes, they seat fine but are tight. I use a hand primer and it tires you out for sure.

 

[Bugstew]

6.5-300 Weatherby Magnum. Just got my hands on a NRA Edition Vanguard at a good price. Working on an antelope load for this fall.

 

[ChiefKlein]

15 different calibers. Lately 308 30-06 300WM 7mm-08 7mm mag and 6.5 creedmoore.

Remington Model Seven just came back from her rebarrelling to a threaded 18" 223AI with a 1 in 7 twist. Very excited to play with this thing

What bullets are you thinking of.

My 22 creedmore 7.5twt likes 85.5.

You have a very nice setup.

 

[blackbeard]

308, 270 WSM, 204, and first time doing 357 mag.

I've got a pile of 77gr TMKs to start with, hopefully it likes them!

I predict you’re gonna have a ton of fun.

Hard to beat a bolt action .223 with a can for just plain fun shooting.

 

[squirrel_hunter]

280AI 150 gr Berger Classic Hunter bullet

 

[Sheltowee]

I’m following for results!

High average (10-shots) of 2966fps with an SD of 10 but showing pressure. Hunting load will run 2949fps with a 7.7 SD.

I’ll post a longer write up in my .338-06 thread.

 

[nhenry]

Back to basics.
On the bench is 25-06 rem stuff. Retumbo, 108gr Apex Afterburners, remington 9 1/2 primers

 

[Potsie]

Starting load dev for a .22-250 with 77 gr TMK and H4350. Will do the usual of load a string to find pressure, back off a grain or so, and shoot a 10 shot group. If it shoots, cool. If not, I’ll try dropping another .5 grain.

May try some 80 gr ELDm as well.

 

[WildWill]

My new 300 win mag shoots 200gr Partitions
with 78 gr of H-1000 .5 inch moa all day. Loaded up 40 of those today for hunting season. Also started load development on 180 gr Accubonds for the same rifle.

 

[grizzly63]

Too hot to shoot or do much else outside so I cranked out 100 38-55 245 PC RN Missouri bullet co, IMR 4895 34.5. A proven load for my Marlin CB, dang fun gun to shoot. I need to get back to loading for a Custom Savage 308 Win with a 1-8.5" bull barrel. I have shot some great loads with Speer deep impact 172. I might try Deep Curl 165, have a couple hundred to play with. I read they build pressure quick so I will start low. Wish me luck.

 

[Badlandboy]

Gee, with all the hot, new, exotic cartridges and rifles the you fellas are playing with, this is gonna be boring.
I load for .257 Roberts, 7x57, 243 Win., .308 Win. and 35 Whelen.
Actually, as I’m well into my “Autumn Years”, my days of slogging through muskegs and walking miles in hill/mountain areas - not to mention packing big critters out of wherever they expired, are behind me now. Whitetails, muleys and pronghorn are my “big” game now. Hence, I haven’t loaded anything for the Whelen for the past 4 or 5 years. The 7x57 is my “go-to” while the Roberts, 308 and 243 are for my son and grandson.
Most of my loading is done during our long, cold winter evenings so, my bench is pretty well vacant at this time of year.
Any ammo loaded in used brass during the winter has the bullets seated out about .02” or so in the event of cold weld and reseated before range use or hunting.

Nothing wrong with the classics, specially a Bob and a Whelen. What are you loading in the .257?

7x57 is .284 perfection

117 gr. Sierra Pro-Hunters, 46 gr. RL19, Rem. brass, F210 primers. The Ruger #1 Med. Sporter spits them out of its 26” barrel at 2940 fps. Hundred yd. groups run from about .75” to 1.25” - depending whether I’m having a good day or an “Old Geezer” day. It’s the first load I ever tried in that rifle some 29 yrs. ago and I stuck with it - never felt any need for anything else.
Of course Sierra has discontinued the .257 PH’s and RL19 is now impossible to find. I do have a fairly good supply of each but, if the supply runs out before I do, I guess I’ll have do some experimenting.

The Ruger No. 1 and the .257 Roberts seems like peas and carrots. It will almost certainly sing with Hammer HHTs if you ever burn up your supply of Sierras. I'm at 3218 with a .257 Roberts AI in a little 21-inch CZ carbine.
