What did you do in the reloading room today?

[Tim K]

I loaded 450 rounds of precision .223 for the Team Safari on a single stage press, weighing every charge with the Chargemaster. Barf.

Just finished 1K of 9mm...trying to decide if I want to do .223, .300BO or 6.5PCC next.

Well crap. Latest test of 147gn 9mm poi is 3"-4" low at 25' poa. Not wanting to change out another front sight, so I guess I'll try to locate some 124gn bullets to increase the velocity for a flatter trajectory near a similar charge with TG. Really wish you could purchase 20 bullets instead of 100+.

That sounds like no fun at all.

The bolt guy has it easy. I only loaded 220rds of 6.5x47 for the Team Safari.

Look forward to shooting it with you Tim. Find targets, range targets, shoot targets.... no big deal right?!

[Tim K]

It'll be easy. We'll win for sure.

You MIGHT be going the wrong direction. .357 mag loads shoot lower that .38 loads in the same gun for me. I surmise this is because the bullet is out of the barrel before it rises as far. At 25 yards, I don't think bullet drop is the problem.

I'd agree with you.. Bullet weight might be part of the problem, not all of it. Curious to know load data for the 147's. Without going to the shop iirc 147 gets 3.3 of TG.

Rarely post here, seems like I'm always doing something in there. Cleaning brass, trimming brass, casting bullets, powder-coating bullets, stuffing cases, boxing, stacking, etc. Wife says reloading is all I do. Hey, that damn Oreck is hers.....
