Thread: What Have You Loaded Today

Not actually reloading today, but a ton of prep work for a friend.
500 cases of once fired 92 Palma match brass .
From tarnished crap to like new . Wetumbled and annealed. Awaiting resizing priming etc.

250 savage with 81gr hammers and 35gr of imr 4895.
looks like they're doing 3240 fps but I only crony'd one I'll try
a few more and see how they group. Bloody expensive bullets to shoot targets with.

300 Win Mag, 200gr ELDX with 77.5 grs AR 2217 doing 2829 fps measured over the new Garmin Chrono. This is my back up load for the 200 gr ELDX with 74 grs RL 26 for 2844 fps which I am having difficulty finding RL26, hence the need for a back up load.
So far both loads shoot to same point of aim out of the 22 inch Tikka.

For the sake of 15fps I would stick with the 2217. Much cheaper and much easier to find.

What twist do you have? Hammers seem to need fast twists.

Charles Newton would be proud of you, keeping his 110 year old favourite going at speeds that would worry 243 owners. A man ahead of his time

12.5 got one with 10 twist I can try too

Boring old 7mm Blaser Magnum and 175 ELdx needed so more crackers used too many the other night.

Had a go at loading some 1895 Nagant rounds. a mashup of M1 carbine, 32S&WL and 7.62 tokarev dies and we have potentially viable results

I participated, then supervised a couple of mates came round and loaded up 40 rounds of 270 win, 130 grain Hornady interlock with Win 760 powder and CCI primers to send them out the barrel.

another small batch of
21 rounds of Hornady 158gr XTP Hollow Points over 15.5 gr of tailboss in my 358 win. Estimated at about 1700 fps.
Great for 50 mtr plinking and small deer & goats. Last batch over 15gr would clover leaf at 50 mtr.

Prepped 100 308win and loaded 20 test rounds
10x 165gn speer btsp (same as my old load just swapped out to new Lapua brass from Sako)
10x 125gn NBT's (loaded middle of the range seated to Saami spec) hoping to fall on a easy light load for my daughter.

A bucket of .223 fun and upside down wallaby.

52 grn Targex. 26.5grn 2206H. 3,250 zoomies. Good for anything if you are careful.

I've just finished 120 rounds of 6.5PRC for a mates new rifle loaded with 142 Nosler ABLR.
Now some 7-08 and 150 ELDX for another mate.
