I think I'll load up another 100-150 or so for a longer range session this weekend with my Fiancee while she shoots the G23 with 40-9 conversion barrel.
Did a little price calculations too, and I am already realizing the benefits of reloading. The 70rds that I shot today only cost me a total of $14.4271 (prices of powder/primers/bullets including tax). That comes to $10.305 for a 50rd box. Walmart price for 50rds of .40S&W is around $16-$18 last I bought it, so I'm very happy with my savings and the improved accuracy!
Best of all, the cheaper price of ammo means I can go practice more! :D
Nice, congrats! Nothing like shooting your own ammo! Reloading is a means to shooting more! What load did you find that's accurate in your G23?Quote:

It might actually be the best grouping I've ever gotten with my pistol too! The load that was second was the 4.2gr WST. That one was about a 2.5" grouping, all rounds were equally spaced in a circle though. I'll play around with both loads more.
I also tried 3.3gr WST, 4.2gr WST and 4.7gr N340. I'll definitely play around with N340 more later, but for the time being I'll stick to the much cheaper WST and really nail down that load.
AND i had 155 lbs of mixed brass delivered ;)
I am running 155 gr JHP, Montana Gold Bullets over 7.0 gr of Power Pistol. These cycle well out of my P229, P250, Glock 22, and my Kel Tec Sub 2K.Quote:

I didn't do any today, but yesterday I did 20 rounds for the .270. 4 different powder charges 5 rounds each.
I opened a couple of boxes of new Hornady brass and put them in some of those little blue plastic boxes.
I was going to start getting them prepped but lost ambition rather quickly.
more tumbling and size / depriming. Going to try and get an actual plan in place, instead of start this, finish that, Figure out where the hell it is.
An Urn for my ashes?Quote:

Picked up a case trimmer. Now I can assemble a few more rounds. Still can't find any plinking 22 projectiles.

All I did at my bench today was box up the 9mm ammo I loaded a week or so ago, inventory my powder/primers/projectiles, and put away the lb of titegroup, 200 125gr Speer TNT projectiles, and a couple of mtm moxes I picked up. I REALLY need to organize and clean my bench and workspace, but I have a dozen more important things going on.
I ordered some powder from Powder Valley, and they had it! WOOHOO!
What kind? .223? I've been on there all day looking!Quote:

Stared at my daughters' stack of PMAGS wishing I had enough bullets to load all the 5.56 brass I have so I could load up those mags.
Rearranged some things to make tomorrow's packing for range day Saturday easier.
Cleaned out the ultrasonic cleaner.
I waved good bye at the cave and may or may not have shed a tear at how beautiful it is
Sportsmans in the springs had powder on the shelf yesterday. Lots of varieties of hodgdon. slim pickings on bullets. they had some 220gr .308 match for you 300BLK guys
Sorted and counted a couple thousand rounds of various brass I had stashed away - soon to hit the trading post with the ones I do not load anymore.
turned 100 pieces of 223 into 300 blackout.
Searched desperately for my Dial Caliper
I have a reloading room? <work gets in the way of everything>
Primed a couple hundred 5.7x28.
Built a new bench not quite done want to put some shelves on one of them.
Ran a whole bunch of various antique ammo, some over 100 years old, through the vibrator.
Did she like it?Quote:
