Targex, barnes, hornady
6.5 CM would be one
When hunting think safety first

The 4 bundles to the right appear to be 223. Targex projectiles?
The bundles on left I initially thought 308, but loads >45 grains suggest slightly bigger cartridge capacity. The 257 Roberts might be correct

The row on the right look like they are hammer bullets.

Bruce..you need to be tad more careful with amount of lube on cases...you have some lube dents on shoulders of a few...and here I thought I was only one mortal enough to do it... maybe consider giving dies themself a dungout with some CRC or suchlike...my redding .223 dies are a pig for it...no wee excess vent hole like other brands have.

Hah hah. I sprayed the dies with WD40 and it must have leaked through the stem. Ive since washed them out with boiling water. Originally Posted by Micky Duck

OK. All of the left hand column are 257 Roberts.
The 257R projectiles go (from top):
100 grn Barnes
100 grn Hornady Interlock
115 grn Nosler BT
117 grn Hornady SST
Then Nosler BT again.
I was testing R17 with 100 grn and R26 with the 115 and 117. Also different lengths and Federal Magnum and LR primers and CCI LR primers.
The right hand column are all .223
Top 60 grn Hammer's
Then 3 lots of 64 grn Nosler BSB with 2208 and 2 different charges of CFE223.
The 80 grn Targex are my main stay for my .223's but this one (M7) is only a 1:9 twist. It gets fed exclusively 69grn Targex for wallaby but I was just fidling around with harder projectiles for bigger deer. The Hammers already shoot and kill well so I was just refining that load a bit and I have 200 of the Nosler Bonded so want to use them up.Last edited by Tahr; 22-09-2022 at 10:27 PM.
