Thread: What Have You Loaded Today

I loaded some 30-30 with the 160 ftx and 32.5 gr of AR2208.


I then tested them at 100yds aiming at the black square using a rolled up coat for a rest. Good group but left so corrected and tried again.

That is excellent shooting right there

I finally managed to lob some 352 gn ribless pc (41.5gn 2207). Got 3 groups in when the wind was flat. Gotta just play the wind game when it's about and aim off. 45-70 will never be a target round but it's fun at 100m

788 strikes again

50 rounds 357 Mag. 6.5 gr Autocomp under 158 gr SWC moly-coated lead projectile. I'm interested if the point of aim changes with the projectile being moly-coated as opposed to Alox lubed lead.

30 rounds 7mm Saum - 180 ELDM over 63gn rl26 white river LR primers

Some 145gr Speers in front of WW760 for the old BSA 7x57. Need to get it shooting again after a long rest.

Good components selection for the x 57 Mathias, how much 760 are you thinking 48 ish?

Yep 48, but I have a few moving up to 50 to see how she hangs. I have done up to 52gr with a Ruger M77 with no issues at all, but I'm not chasing the fps here.

6mm Creedmoor.
108g Berger BTT over Staball 6.5
5 shots into16mm at 186m
That'll do

I use 48 in my x57R, with 140/145. seems to be a sweet spot. 2750 fps area.

Been as high as 50 with 154s in my old 98. Ex mil tube, long throat. Surprisingly velocity was still only 2600.

The BSA has a long throat, to accommodate the old round nose 173gr from that vintage. Have a few Kynoch relics tucked away.

Some 175 eldx for the newly built 7 PRCW with vihtavuori n555. Fire forming loads into a inch at 100m.

I loaded some 500 3" BPE
I'm already on plan C for this roar and the way things are going anything could happen.

So roll up some of these and then have options for plan D, E and F




This rifle will go to entertain the guys I'm supposed to be guiding, landowner and locals

They look the goods Akaroa! What mould do you use for those?
