What did you do in the reloading room today?

But of course! If I were in a hurry, you'd be the first one I called. This time, I'm trying to save as much $$$ as possible by doing it myself. If I ever get serious about a .300blk, I might be calling you up.

Puppy woke me up at 4:30 this morning, so I loaded up 50 rounds of .357 mag and I'm off to work slingin' cribs.

Loaded up my first 65 rounds of 308 Win for my 700 5R, using IMR 4064 ranging from 38.0 to 42.8 -0.00/+0.02 grains under 168gr MatchKings. They are in groups of 5 rounds, incrementing in 0.40gr per group.

Took a little under 2 hours, but a good 20 minutes of that was spent getting my powder dropper to drop a 36-37.5gr charge so I could trickle each load.

The plan is to shoot the first two in each group over the chronograph. If the velocity difference is more than 15fps, I'll move to the next load. That corresponds to a standard deviation of about 10.5. That way, I can save bullets and powder for when there is obviously too large of a StdDev.

I started packing my stuff for the move to my new house.

In or still outside of town?

Deprimed, cleaned, sorted (by headstamp) about 1k of rifle brass.

Into town.

Raised my 1050 about 3"s. Helped my back tremendously. Then decided to run a thin brace from the wall behind to the case feeder support. Wish I'd done both years ago. You may think there's no flex in your setup, but I'm betting if you brace yours, you'll be pleasantly surprised.

Loaded a thousand or so 9mm.
