Do you run PCC recipe in pistol as well?Quote:

Some guys like how soft 147s are in a handgun. I like how quiet they are when suppressed, but the rest of the time 124s work just fine.
I started loading 124's with Unique. 4.5 grs OAL 1.140, averaging 1K The ruger 9pc performs well with them. Also likes the 147's w/ TG.Quote:

That's my normal load, but i'v been loading subs for a bit.Quote:

What’s the PF on that load? I play with 3.9gr TG and 124gr Blue Bullets. Cycles and is accurate in my 2011, but won’t chamber in my CZ because of its short throat.Quote:

It's interesting how many loads for subs (under 1050) that have been published in the last year or so, with the availability of suppressors almost everywhere.
Did you switch to Unique from TG because you had it on hand, or other reasons? I think you and I have discussed this in the past, but I can't remember. I ask because I have a lot more TG than Unique, but I do have a pile of 124 jacketed to use. fmj and jhp
Let me get back to you on this.Quote:

I like TG for my 1911's but go with Unique for the Mauser in 45 acp. That action can handle high pressure rifle rounds, hot loaded 45 isn't a problem.
Any of you guys tried Alliant Sport Pistol powder? I hear that it’s a superb, clean burning powder that is similar to VV 310/320 for less $$. Haven’t found any locally and only want to try a LB to possibly replace my Titegroup.
There's some good discussion and testing at THR forums. I haven't tried it cuz I've settled on BE-86.Quote:

Below is an almost full 5 gallon bucket of spent primers. One heavy bitch.

Will Koscove give you ammunition brass price for that?Quote:

Didn’t know that scrap places would take spent primers, guess I should have been throwing them in a bucket instead of in the trash.Quote:

I hope to not have to reload 223 for a long time to come. And now that I have done it, I hope to never decide to do something as stupid as deciding to do that again. Just because I have a bucket of processed brass doesn't mean I have to do something with it. It was just fine testing gravity.
Picked up 8lbs of H4350 for the 260
Did 200 rounds of 9mm the other night.
Oh yeah, they'll take 'em!Quote:

BobChute was delivered today. I think I will drill out the cap on a cold coffee bottle for it. They have a more stable base than a soda bottle.
Does Koscove also sell? I’m looking to pick up some pure soft lead to mix with wheel weights. If I am selling off brass and aluminum for scrap it would be nice to plow the money back into lead
Pulled apart one of my 1050s and changed it over to load 308 and loaded a few hundred rounds. Throwing about 47 gns of Benchmark under a 125 TNT. Fun gas gun load, but I hate loading 308 compared to 223.
I thought I had a 308 FL carbide die, but it was a carbide trim die I had ordered. Guess I will be calling Dillon.
Why do you hate loading 308 vs 223? I find the opposite as the small bullets seem to give my hands a cramp sooner.Quote:

Cleaned up all the Glock GSSF stuff for the season, ever clean a 100+ mags in a day?
May swap the 1050 over to 40 today and decide what ratio to load stock and STI length.

Picture for partial cleaning pile.
Did you put them all in the dishwasher?
Reloaded another 1000 308 tracers for Big Sandy
Cleaned and sorted a pretzel barrel full of brass.
Setup the BobChute to drop into a Starbucks iced coffee bottle strapped to the bench leg.
Setup the 550 for 45 Colt for the first time.
I'm working on 9mm, 308, and 30-06.
I like 9g Unique under 255g boolit in 45 Colt - what are you going to do?Quote:

I also got a bunch of powders in trade, and it looks like I have Accurate #5, Hodgdon Universal and Winchester 231 that show loadings. I also have some HP-38 I was using for .380 that I could load. I also have a box of Lasercast 250 gr to try at some point.Quote:

Finally ran out of loaded 243 ammo.
Tumbled about 950 cases and ran them all through my Giraud trimmer. Next step is to anneal them and then load them.
Assembled both of my new-to-me 1050's and got an email about my "Hornady Get Loaded" submission. 12-16 weeks from now to get my 100 free bullets... LOL. I guess they are "free"...
This weekend I am going to get both 1050's mounted and see if I can get it all organized again...
Two 1050s?
I like where your heads at.
