    What Have You Loaded Today

    There is a Thread on another Forum that I frequent that is " What Have You Loaded Today "
    It is really quite interesting and well participated in .
    So I thought it might be interesting to see what everyone is up to with their Reloading .

    Heres my effort today .


    6x45

    Just loaded up another 44 rounds to complete run in for the new barrel .
    85gn Sierra hpbt
    Starline Brass
    CCI 450 Primers
    2206H powder ( Won't say how much but I can't get any more in the case , No pressure signs )

    56 rounds down range so far , just found a load on the first test that shot well straight off the bat . Subsequent rounds of this combination are averaging better than 1/2 minute of accuracy at 200m ( 3 shot groups ) , velocity of 2875 fps ( 22 inch barrel )

    chainsaw and T.FOYE like this.

    Just some banging and clunking noises. Nothing like the CORDS in the symphony that @Tahr posted

    I just loaded three rounds of 450 no1 Express
    So I have 8 rounds to take with me to the West Coast this week

    Large pistol primer
    85 grains 1 1/2 FG Holy Smoke
    Card, grease cookie, card
    360 grain .365" diameter Pure Soft Lead Powder Coat bullets

    Early 1880s rifle will put the first three shots from a clean bore into 1" at 50 yards and then the groups start to dramatically open up with BP fouling
    But its an Express Stalking single shot and three shots is a lot of shooting
