Haven't reloaded in the last year. Just havent had the time, plus havent had my bench set up. Worked on prepping 40 cases of manbun rounds to load up some 147eld m tonight.

This evening I de-primed about 200pc of 223 for one of my gas guns. Then into the sonic cleaner.

 

[Matt5266]

Prepped and primed about 180 Lake City 5.56 cases to load some 77 TMK for a upcoming elk hunt. Some are for practice and some are for the hunt

Did up some loads for my 6.5CM 20" SA Redline. Lapua brass w/ 210M LRP and H4350 in 0.5gr increments.
Left to right:
- 127gr LRX w/ 42.5-44.0gr H4350 - 0.050" jump
- 129gr ABLR w/ 42.0-44.0gr H4350 - 0.060" jump (2.850" COAL mag limited)
- 142gr ABLR w/ 41.0-43.0gr H4350 - 0.045" jump (2.850" COAL mag limited)
- 120gr Match Burner w/ 43.0gr H4350 in Norma brass (foulers/plinkers)

Mainly just looking for some velocity numbers and seeing if I find pressure somewhere. If there are any promising 2shot groups, I'll focus the next session around that load. First time getting warm in Lapua brass and really testing this rifle, so we will see what happens.

Thanks Steve300xcw !! Look what I stumbled across today. Thanks for the heads up.

Spent way too much time trying to get 180 hybrids and H1000 to shoot out of a new 7prc.
It just doesn't repeat. Even at 20 off the lands, boattail is way ahead of the junction. Seems odd as it should be a SAAMI chamber.


Gave up and loaded 195's and N570. Pressure at 72gr. Boattail is in same position as my 7STW, just above the neck radius. Will load some around 69 and see if it repeats.

 

[Darren_8167]

This afternoon I annealed around 200pc of 223 for a gas gun. I also found a pound of Leverevolution to try out.

Finally got out to shoot the 6.5 WSM tonight. I had 20 loaded up, and shot 3 (middle), adjusted zero, shot 9 (bottom), adjusted zero, and shot last 8 at the top target. I was shooting prone behind the house and didn't have a rear bag, so for the last 8 I tucked my green shell holder under the stock with my hand. I pulled one shot something awful, but the remaining 7 covered up the 1" dot pretty good. Damn can mirage was awful even in 50 degree weather. One of these days I'll get a cover. Anyway, no MV tonight as I was just shooting for groups, but I'll load up another 20 and report back with MV when I can. To try to keep the barrel cool, I fired 3 shot strings and gave it a few minutes between mags.

This is the 3rd Tikka I've loaded for that has worked out on the first load. Thanks to @Formidilosus for all the tips! The following threads have been invaluable.

- Painless load dev
- Bonding a picatinny rail
- Scope mounting to maintain zero

I’m messing around with the 168ttsx and big game in the 30-06.

 

[jfk69]

Loaded some deer season loads for my .280 Rem. Sierra 150 gr. Gamechanger over N560 in Norma brass with a Fed 210M to get the party started. Does a 1.1” 10 shot group at 2880 fps.

What charge did you start with?

 

[hoooogan]

Did up a 7RM ladder to go along with my 6.5CM selection for this weekend. 175gr ABLR, 0.040" jump, H1000, Norma Brass, 215M. Just looking for velocity and pressure.

 

[Telford29]

Loaded up another 100 77 tmks.

 

[wyosam]

Spent some time laying out some reloading projects to pass time post neck surgery this winter. Sucks, I shoot a lot more in the winter than I do in the summer, so not only am I not got to be shooting, I’m not going to have much going on on the bench either.

Here is what I came up with. There is not much published data that I could find for this combo. It seems that most people settle somewhere between 25-26gr. I will post my results, but please proceed at your own risk.

.280 Mandrel? Hell yeah, brother. Good to see another robust loader out there, none of that sissy thousandth stuff, lol. That ladder looks like that load is gonna shoot lights out! Keep us posted with results, I'll be doing some 7 PRC testing myself this winter.

 

[Darren_8167]

This was a nice surprise today. Grabbed the last two bricks of these guys. I had to double check the price.
And then found CCI 200 & CCI 400 for $5.99 each! Couldn’t pass them up.
