This past week I loaded about 500 rounds of 9mm. Xtreme 124 gr plated bullets, 5.0 gr CFE Pistol, CCI small pistol primers, mixed cases but mostly Herters. Have 1400 rounds loaded and in my safe. I usually shoot about 200 rounds n a range trip.

That's easy to do, especially with an AR pistol and an AR SBR. Hungry sumbichiz!

Processed and loaded 40 rds. of .308 for a modified M-1. I am trying 44 grns of Varget under a Hornady match bullet. I started using a Hornady Trimmer with a RCBS Three-way cutter, powered by a small drill.I really like it for small batches of cases. I still have my Little Crow for processing the big batches of over a hundred.

Deprimed, resized and belled the case mouth on 250 .40 S&W cases then primed them. Plan to add powder and bullets tomorrow, kinda hit me that i need to catchup on bullet production for shooting season!

I just have a couple semi-autos but can still shoot 200 in about an hour.

It doesn't take long. I'll stop at the range on my way home from work, empty a dozen 30 rounders in 15 minutes, lol.

Finished up the 250 rounds of .40 s&w this evening. 180 grain plated extreme bullets over 7.4 grains of HS-6.

Cast some 00 from a Lee mold. Planning to load in 12ga with Mg42 wads in 2x5 stack.

Just loaded my first batch of 6.5 Grendel. I recently got a new upper and it deserves new ammo.

Set up my new Lee Classic Cast Turret press and cranked out ~200 rds of 9mm. It was a mix of 160gr coated RN and 115gr/124gr GDHPs. Went pretty well, and I was glad to finally make some headway on the mix pack of JHPs I bought online (sorting it was a PITA).

I gotta say, this press is pretty amazing. The auto-index function makes things run faster, and unlike the Loadmaster (which I totally gave up on), it works almost perfectly. I sometimes get a little enthusiastic with pulling the handle and over-rotate the turret, but once I get a good cadence going, it's pretty reliable. I can live with 100-200rds an hour of 9mm, that's enough to keep up with my shooting regimen.

Got my hands on some 150gr 6.5CM bullets. These will be jumping about .200" if I load to mag length. I know some AR guys jump them that far but I'm a little concerned.

Guess load testing will prove if viable or not. If not 147gr will work fine.

These things look like VLDs, over 1.5" long

erwos · May 1, 2018

Loaded up ~80 147gr Speer GDHPs and ~25 Hornady 124gr XTPs. Slowly working through all those random bullets I got...

Also got my riser setup for my autodrum, so adjusting it is a heck of a lot easier now.

Setting up to run some .44 magnum food. 200,240,285 gr

I think there is a list in the reloading thread of people that will teach you. A good start would be buying a couple of reloading books like the ABC'S of reloading and read them at least 2 times. I'm sure others will post their advice also. Keep an open mind the guys on here will lead you in the right direction.

This is VERY good advice. Should be the 1st (and I'd argue will be the best) $20 you can spend on a new reloading hobby.

Where are you located?

ironpony · May 8, 2018

My working bench is installed and today I assembled a cabinet with cherry top and doors, once I install the drawers I'll put up some pics. Buying factory 9mm at this point, looking for JHP bullets for next reloading session.

That's not too far away from where I am. I'm in the Hereford zone. Happy to help out if you'd like.

It's not rocket science, but you absolutely need to be careful and pay attention to what you're doing.

Definitely recommend getting a reloading manual (or a couple) and do a little reading beforehand.

PM me if you want to get together.

Ok, thanks. I'll get some books on reloading today.
