Got Loads? How about a daily loading report

[allen4150]

Loaded 150 rounds of .45 auto yesterday. I used 5.0 grains IMR 700-x with a 200 grain Missouri LSWC. I shot them all today. Very satisfied with this combo. I used my Chip Mccormick mags I just got from midway and I didn't have ONE malfunction. Unbelievable what a difference that made.
I've been single staging so far and really want to step up to a progressive.

Lets see, yesterday I loaded 250 45 colts, as follows:

Reloading M1 carbine using the last of my old 100 gr. Speer Plinkers ( from 1980's )
12.8 gr. of H110 with a CCI mag primer.
This is for my Iver -Johnson carbine---I don't load heavy for this rifle---
Wife going out of town tomorrow(5 days)---too bad I'm too damn old to drink, smoke & play around---Just barley able to reload...

 

[EddieNFL]

A thousand rounds of .45ACP 200 SWC.

 

[tydephan]

300 rounds of 9mm with 124gr hp.
200 rounds of .223 with 55gr FMJBT

 

[lgbloader]

I hand loaded 5 rounds of 7.62 Russian. That's it. No really, that's it.

I did start to do another 5 but only neck sized/deprimed 1 case.

Sometimes you feel it, other times... you just want to surf.

I loaded 50 rounds of 5.56 today: 62 gr FMJ over 24.5 gr BL-C(2). Loaded 50 of the same Friday. Loaded 125 rounds of .40S&W earlier in the week: 155 gr Hornady XTP over 5 gr HP-38.

 

[mahansm]

Well, yesterday I put together 50 rounds of .500 S&W with 300 grain Hornady bullets and varying charges of Lil Gun (10 each of 5 charge weights).
Lighter charge weights were using once-fired after reaming the primer pockets to fit WLR primers, heavy weights were in new Starline brass.

I also put together about 30 rounds of .45 ACP using primed cases from rounds that I had pulled down (shaved plating on bullets, not enough case mouth flare) and used 5.5 grains of 231 under a 200 grain Berry's round nose.

 

[mcdonl]

Mostly casting this weekend.

 

[ric426]

Last week I loaded a bunch of different .38 special wadcutter rounds. 24 rounds each of a couple different charge weights of Bullseye, Red Dot and Trail Boss and with Speer lead 148gr. HBWC and Berry's plated 148gr. HBWC.
Took 'em all to the range on Friday and with my 6" Model 14 PPC gun, after some careful testing and comparisons, I arrived at the following conclusion:
They all group better from even a shaky rest than I'm capable of shooting with an unsupported gun, so until I get a lot better (and get some prescription shooting glasses) it doesn't make much difference which load I shoot.

 

[RidgwayCO]

No reloading yesterday, but I sold all of my .44 Magnum reloading supplies and ammo to my shooting buddy for his S&W M329 (sold him a quantity of jacketed bullets, H-110 and W296 powder, CCI 350 primers, and commercial ammo, and gave him some reloaded shotshells). Interestingly, every single thing I sold to him was "out of stock" at MidwayUSA... Plus, the 50 shotshells are worth $73.95 at current prices ($14.79 for ten .44 Magnum shotshells?!)!

 

[Sediment]

Loaded 50 rounds of .45 ACP with 4.9 of Bullseye and 50 rounds of 5.0 grains of bullseye. Off to the range in the next couple days to test em out. According to my Lee book the never exceed is 5.0 grains and the powder fills quite a bit of the case.

 

[Mags]

Just got done prepping the last 100 of my 223 cases about to put 24.5 grains of IMR 4895 in them with a 55 grain FMJ.

 

[iblong]

Lets see,Friday I loaded 200 115 mg 115 fmj 4.8 w231.
Saterday I unloaded about 150 9mm,and tested velocities with several different col.Also shot 100 vmax out of my AR15.
Sunday I unloaded 150 200gr LSWC out of my 1911 and tumbled 500 casings for same.
this week Ill be working on 9mm,45's and hopefully some .223

 

[ScratchnDent]

Tonight, I had planned on loading a batch of .45 acp. When I pulled out my measure, I saw that it was still set for my standard 38 spl load. So, I filled it up with Unique, weighed a few charges to verify, and loaded up 100 rounds with 4.3 grains under a 158 LSWC.

 

[Mags]

Just finished up the last 250 .308 loads. I am now going to pack all my gear and components up so the loading room can become a baby room. Who knows how long until I get my reloading space somewhere else.

 

[lgbloader]

congrats on the baby, Mags

 

[Mags]

Thanks LGB.

 

[1SOW]

Running behind-again, I loaded 150 9mm 124JHPs for last Saturday's match.

I need to get back to the bench to load more 9mm for this Saturday morning's steel match and afternoon USPSA League shoot.

I need to quit work.

 

[Seedtick]

Congrats Mags

Hey Mags, There may not be a good reason for someone to lose their loading room. But this is definitely an acceptable reason. Congratulations on the youngin' they are a blessing.

Boy howdy, I'm glad we are too old for 'em anymore!
But grandbabies, now they are even better!

Oh yeah, back on topic, I didn't load any today but I did clean up some of the mess. I think someone comes in while I'm not paying attention and makes those messes.

 

[FullMetalJckt]

Workin on new 45 ACP load

Bought some hornady 250gr XTP's, sized to .452.

Couldn't find load data, but Alliant has 260gr JSP with 4.1gr of Bullseye for a starting load.

Loaded a few in increments of 0.1grs from 4.0gr to 4.4grs. Goin to range later to check'em out.

 

[armoredman]

Cast 100 9mm boolits, just seeing how hot the garage will get, in July in AZ. It got slightly warm. Still got 100 new slugs for a little time spent, and about $.25 in electricity.

 

[Kentucky Jelly]

I have been prepping over 1,000 pieces of LC 5.56 brass for what seems like an eternity. Have them all sized and swaged. Might have 100 trimmed/chamfer/deburred/primer pocket prepped. I will then be loading them with Hornady 75gr hpbt over rl17 and varget.

I did load some .40 S&W to break up the swaging.
185gr Hornady XTP 6.6 power pistol, win sp, win brass averages 20 fps less than factory Hornady. Shoots great out of a P99.

 

[giggitygiggity]

A few days ago, I reloaded 299 rounds of .45ACP. 299 because I had to scrap one primer and didn't want to open another pack to make it an even 300. Anyways, I have a rule that I try to reload at least 1.5-2 times as much as I shoot.

 

[Kevin Rohrer]

No reloading today. I am setting up a second bench and I mounted a Lyman 55 on it, plus an old CH 111 press I recently acquired, and finished up by mounting a Lachmiller primer press beside it.

Tomorrow I will be dismantling a Lyman All-American press I got the same time as the CH for cleaning and painting.
