I am loading 124 GR RN X-Treme Bullets with 4.1 gr titegroup, CCI primer,at 1.130 in my Shield. Took A bit of time to get it to its happy point

Well I hit the range again yesturday with the same rounds except I dropped the OAL to 1.130 Heres my thoughts. 1. I wont be working BE-86 up for my Shield. It just shoots to well with TiteGroup, (Not happy even with the 4.6 gr) 2. I am going to fine tune the 4.6 gr. load, Maybe even...

Yep Cabelas has them for $19.99. added another 6K of them to the cabinet this week. Plus I get 5% Military discount and no Sales Tax. Buy umm and use with confidence.

Unfortunately I dont have A chrono to check velocity. I plan to load some test rounds at 4.9 and 5.2, I will drop COL to 1.130 and 1.120. That may get me to A good spot with this powder. I do believe the BE-86 will be A bit more snappy than my loads with Titegroup. The search continues.

Thanks for the reply. I checked them in all 3 barrels before loading too many. I loaded long when I saw the case fill. I do imagine I'll be shortening it up some though after initial trip.

I have been following this thread and finally was able to get some BE-86 I have loaded 3 test loads that I will be shooting tomorrow. Hopefully I will find good results like I have been reading. If so My LGS has more BE-86 set aside. Just witing on these results. Loaded Extreme plated 124...

Do you find the leverage to be different with the shorter handle?

30 years ago I reloaded A lot of handgun and shotshells. I was shooting Sporting Clays tournies up and down the East Coast. I used A lee classic turret then and A lee loadall for shotgun. They did just well for me then, When I decided last year to start handloading again, I went straight for...

Finally done The bench is finally complete, Less the Shotshell reloader that I will add this weekend. The only thing left is flooring but that will happen in the fall.

Im curious to see what load yu come up with for your 180s. I just got A shipment of Extreme 180 Gr yesturday. Still have some 165 gr to work thru first though. I have TiteGroup, Bullseye, HP38 and A bit of 700x onhand

New Bench Finally moved from the 5' foldup table to A dedicated room for my gun stuff and A new bench. Still needs some finish work but its coming together. Before and now. Its amazing how empty it looks with room to put things instead of just in A pile

Finished painting the new room for my reloading and Gun room today. I am building A L shaped bench, 6' L x 2' D with A 2' x 2' extension. It will be constructed with doubled 2x4's for the legs with 2x4 framing. 36" finished height. I am putting A shelve 18" off the floor also for ammo...

Thanks for the replies so far Guys. I have for the time settled in on 4.7 Gr 700x under the 165 gr Blue Bullets. I'm ordering some 180 gr RMR tomorrow. And will be working up A load for that next.
