What did you do in the reloading room today?

So I finally decided to put all those 175gn Sierra Matchking GI pulls that you used to be able to get for about .10 each to good use. I bought 10,000 of them years ago for my 308. Turns out machine pulled bullets and long range shooting dont get along well.

I dont know how many there is in that ammo can (I am guessing about 3,000) but it put a dent in my powder and bullet supply. Now I am ready to very quietly take over a small third world country.

The 300 Whisper upper that Spook built for me will be getting a workout.

Resized 1100 BLK brass, chamfered and primed same. Loaded up some 125 gr, 150gr loads to dunno and function out of two barrels.

Attempted to load some 110 Speer varmint bullets to no avail. Thinking the new free floating type Hornady bullet seater may be letting the angle of seating change.

My tumbler has been running almost non-stop all weekend. I bought 2000 pieces from Mr. Kazoo a few weeks ago and the last of that is in the tumbler now.

I should receive my new stainless media tumbler via UPS tomorrow. I'm planning to re-tumble all my prepped .223 cases to really get the primer pockets and the inside of the cases clean before I load them up. I received 1000 Nosler 40gr varmint bullets and 1000 69gr Sierra Match King bullets late last week. I'm trading a friend a few things for 8# of Win 748 powder and I've got 1000's of primers so I think I'm ready to get rolling in earnest.

Oh yah... Yesterday I loaded up about 90 rounds of the Nosler 40gr bullets with 23.0 grains of H322. If the weather is good on Thursday, a buddy and I are going to the range to test the light bullets in my 1:12 CZ American 527.

Fun times.

Wet tumbled, dried, trimmed, annealed, re-sized, chamfered, de-burred, then primed 200 pieces of .260 Remington rounds/brass for an upcoming match.

then I weighed bullets until I had 200 of them that weighed the same. THEN Mrs. Belly told me that my 1k of Lapua Scenars arrived yesterday.

I went the harbor freight route:

Removed a stuck case from my .223 full length resizing die. Took about 20 mins. Didn't have time for anything else.

Loaded 150 rounds of my precision .223 load. Gonna load 50/night till I run out of something. Brass is likely to go first.

Processed more 9mm brass on the Great-Kazoo's Dillon 1050. I love that press.

Do tell. Load data? Rifle setup?

Last night - loaded 50 .308 M80 pulls over 43 grains of IMR4895 just to try my first .308 plinking loads.

Primed another 50 cases. Had some setup issues with the lee safety primer and kept popping primers out of the holder. I may have to upgrade to a Dillon progressive quicker than I thought.

Tonight I will prime 150 .308 cases and maybe work up a 168gr SMK load. Or maybe I will load up the .223 ladder I planned.
