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.

You like Berry's bullets? They are plated, right?

I ask because they keyhole paper when shot out of my Glock 29. Apparently the Glock barrel will not stabilize plated bullets when fired at 10mm velocities.

They work well in my Springfield, and both of our 1911’s.

You have a Glock. That is the problem. 😉

This morning I reloaded 10 empty 30-round and a few 20-round AR-15 magazines that got expended last week. Not as esoteric as those two smiling guys above but still satisfying nonetheless.

Anyone ever get a friction ignition when pressing a bullet in?

Never heard of it happening. Sizing them is the biggest friction step. Even then the cases are just luke warm to the touch.

Tonight was about finishing some .357 mag cases that I started a few weeks ago. I belled 700 cases, and primed 500 with CCI small pistol magnum primers this evening.

Casted about 320 158 grain round nose for my j frame. Two cavity mold so not the fastest. This mold is a little stubborn with fill out….have to pour fast.

I haven’t loaded with Mark or even played with brass in a few weeks. I have about 1500 cleaned 9mm cases to start working, and a growing back of dirty brass to start sorting and cleaning.

We’re going to have to wait until after your trip. I told Bruce that I’ll help at Piedmont Park this weekend.
