    Currently waiting on 139 gn .268 FMJBT bullets for my 6.5 Carcano load. I'm gonna have to shoot a little blind with the testing because there is no data for SW Precision/S062 in that caliber. It performs similar to Varget at the same loading levels but typically needs another grain or so to get the same velocity, so I'm ballparking off Varget data and working up from fairly low.

    Dabbling with RL26 in 6.5 creedmoor. Accuracy so far appears to be excellent, and speeds? Well, it's RL26 so it's basically rocket fuel. I'm seeing nearly 2900 with 140s. At sane pressures, it's an easy 2800.

    That's nearly 270 Win performance in a short action 6.5 with better BC.

    I set a new personal loading record tonight. 1,100 40 major rounds loaded on my RL1100 in one night. All gauged in my Hundo XL and boxed. Only one round didn’t cleanly pass gauge. It went in the practice bin.

    I have been loading 223 on and off for the past day and a half. I finished up 1000 for my BIL then did 550 for me. I have 1000 to go. I had been using Wolf FMJBT but was able to get the new Berry's. They are the same profile as the Wolf.

    Currently configured to load .223/5.56 on the 750. I tend to grab a few mins here and there to quickly knock out 100 throughout the week. Having an infant really cuts into your reloading time...the 750 really helps.

    load development for a PSA 18'' stainless rig. 1.25ish moa is about the best I have managed. 55, 60, 69 gn bills. Varget and H335. Re-barrel time I think. looking for sub MOA at 100.

    Try some AR-Comp or 8208 with the 69s. Very few guns can't get groups with 69s and 8208 or AR Comp. (most will find luck around 23gr of AR comp and 23.6 of 8208).

    Yesterday I loaded about 400 rounds with the Berry's FMJBT. I am very impressed. The projectiles I measured were all within .001" of .741". When loaded at OAL of 2.220", there was a .002" variance. With the comparator, they were within .001 of 1.837". Since these are for range shooting, I don't care too much about precision, just like some consistency. I was using the Wolf projectiles and they weren't too bad. I would get .005 variance in OAL. I have loaded Armscor and they were horrible. I was getting .010-.015 variance. I will definitely use the Berry's again.

    Finished up the 5000 .223 i was working on, loaded mainly 55gr and 62gr soft points, found i need to concentrate on some 6.5 swede and 8mm mauser, then get some 7mm mauser in after that. then my stock will be at or above what i like on hand!

    Loaded up 357 magnum, first time since getting new press. The old press ram was out of tolerance. It would load bottle cases just fine but not straight wall cases without buckling them. So it the first time I’ve got to load 357 with 12.3gr of 2400 with a 158 Zero soft point jacketed. Wow, much different than factory ammo. Didn’t know that GP-100 was that accurate.

    I pulled 600 moly coated SMK bullets then soaked them in vinegar/water for an hour then tumbled them for 45 minutes with a Limi shine dishwasher packet. All of the moly is gone and the bullets look pretty look.

    Last night put together a couple test 300 blackout rounds. Using a 150 gr Hornady IB and Win 296 powder behind it. Looking to reload some subsonics once my 200 gr bullets arrive.

    Just finished loading 500 rounds of .45-70 GOV on a single stage press: WIN brass, 65 gr compressed 777, .060 wad, WLR primer, and 405 gr RNFP lead bullet, O.A.L. of 2.550. Should let my brother shot for a min or 3.

    Tomorrow 500 rounds of .32ACP loaded with a 550B. Weighted loads of Red Dot 2.2gr, Star Line Brass, Rem Rock 75 gr RNFP sized to .311" with O.A.L. of .980". Works great on coyote
