I was listening to the Everyday Sniper podcast, and he was talking about barrels and mentioned he used to get 10-12,000 rounds out of his .308 rifles
What did you reload today?
I know that Match 10 and I aren’t the only reloaders here. We reload on most Saturdays.
Today was a low volume day for us. We loaded 40 rounds of 30-40 Krag for him to try in a recently acquired rifle. They are Hornady 150gr soft points. 20 at over 35gr of H335 and 20 are over 36 of H335.
We also loaded 100 .357 Magnum defensive rounds that are 125gr Hornady XTP over 9.5gr of Power Pistol, and 150 .357 soft target rounds that are 158gr Berry’s flat point over 5.9gr of W244.

Adam and I started out with breakfast at the Majestic Cafe, and went to the range for group therapy. Quite nice and I’m seriously coveting his Model 17…. 😉
Then, we eventually got to reloading. I ran the primer insertion and he stuffed 50 .45 Colt. Then, we went on a .223/5.56 binge.

I wanted to work up a load with CFE223 for a 5.56 load using heavy-for-caliber Sierra bullet. We did five sets of ten in 1/2 grain increments to full recommend weight. This we used the RCBS digital trickler. So quick and accurate!

I got a Lee app press delivered today. I decap before loading on the Dillon and doing it one at a time on a single stage is slow and monotonous. This is much much faster. You can size bullets on it too. I need to get set up for 4 tubes at a time. Mounted with just a clamp for now to test.
