So.. what are you reloading at the moment??

[red_zr24x4]

I'm about ready to buy some plated bullets for 9mm, for the glock. But I might get out of casting 9's so i only have to stock 1 bullet.
Where's the best deal on plated 9'sm

I rooted around and Xtreme was the best deal I could find on 9mm. They loaded and shot well out of a G43 and XDs.

I've used Rainier and Xtreme with no issues. The Xtreme are shinier.

Anyone ever ordered from Everglades Ammunition?

I'm partial to Berry's.

In fact I just got a case of their 147FPs in the mail last week. (free shipping on orders over $75 BTW) Went to put them away and realized I still had half a case I forgot about. *facepalm*.

RMR, xtreme or accura.

RMR, xtreme or accura.

RMR for the longest time had ss109 pulls for cheap. Using the discount code for being a member of the high road I was paying 7 cents a piece and ended up stockpiling 3k. My pc carbine loves their 115 fmj's.

I just got back from the Knob Creek machine gun shoot, so a crap load of .30 US (.30-06) and 7.62 NATO.
I leave the .50 BMGs to someone else, I'm just not set up for volume for .50 BMG.
The old Browning just LOVES to make dirty, empty brass and everyone loves shooting the old Brownings...

Everyone wants to know "How Many?",
About 200 scoop shovels worth!
Everyone loves to shoot, no one cleans up their brass afterwards...

I need to find a deal on .30 in 150 grain FMJ somewhere... This is one expensive hobby turning money into noise!

The box of 500 Accura I got at Atterbury has really impressed me. Superb quality at a bargain price. You'd swear they are jacketed rather than plated, the plating is so thick and smooth.

This were 147s. I will try their lighter pills next time.

Just put together 100 7.62x39, 123 gn Nosler Varmageddons. Looking forward to some varmitcide!

I helped a buddy today for his first reloading session. I had everything set up for him. I showed him the process, then sat back and watched. We did about 100 .44 mag and 150 .45 ACP. He recently moved back to Indiana and has taken a liking to guns. I had collected some extra brass that I wasn't going to be using so let him load it up. He was excited that he could load it and save so much money. Of course he doesn't have any money in the equipment!! I don't mind. Our wives left us alone and went shopping. Can't get much better than that!!

how much were they and what bullet style? I shoot there a lot.

 

[Cameramonkey]

I feel better.

Months ago, after about 350-400 rounds on a go of 147s over 3.4gr I noted at the end that I had a problem with the micrometer powder measure. I caught one VERY light load (under 1gr) and realized I dont recall verifying each and every charge.

So I tagged that ammo can as "slow fire only" thinking that would be good enough. (because I didnt want to pull THAT many bullets) But it just. kept. nagging.

So rather than pull every one, I threw each one on the scale and found a sweet spot. Everything Under or over a certain weight range got put into a bucket because it was either way too heavy or way too light. I know due to different headstamps, stepped vs regular cases, etc it would always vary. (I use recovered range brass)

So I ended pulling about 50 that were not in spec. Out of that I found 4 charges under a single grain of powder.

I now can shoot that batch comfortably and feel much better. I'll gladly trade that 2 hours of my time for a gun that wasnt blown up, I didnt have to ram a stuck bullet out, etc.

I've since shelved that micrometer measure and switched back to discs, but tried the set screw trick to fine tune the aperture, and it works wonders.

Oh, and I also found that maxing that load out at 3.6 was just too snappy. Back to 3.5.

Finally shot up 400 Norma Match 6.5CM. Loading all 400 for three day Thunder Valley Precision trip late May.

 

[Michigan Slim]

Not loading but casting. Made 3000 .38 125 grain RNFP now need to do the same for .32s and .44s. Then .230 grain .45ACP. Crap. Need .38-55 and .45-70 too.

900 M193-ish today at a nice and steady 550/hr.

I despise brass prep, but cruising along without any hiccups is worth it.
