Just trying to start a fun thread. I stole this idea from another forum, a chance to tell us what your doing and keep the reloading forum alive!


I'm personally resizing 100 new(old stock) 35 rem cases that had alot of dented case mouthes. They just went into the tumbler, and as soon as they get done will be sizing them.

Nothing today. Spent yesterday adjusting a charge bar to load 3/4 oz. 12 ga. loads. Tomorrow I'll work on the powder charge, 16.7 grains of Clays. Using 3/4 oz. for skeet. If I was shooting in competition, I would go for the full 1-1/8 oz. load for the extra shot. I can get 533 loads out of a 25 lb. bag of shot with the 3/4 oz. load! I'm cheap...so cheap they have my picture next to the word in the dictionary.

Not exactly today, but yesterday I did manage to score 8lbs of IMR4350. Been thinking of picking some up for 3006 but should be useful in my 7mm-08 and 243 loads.

We had our last club match for the year yesterday, so I cleaned my rifle good and inspected my .308 brass for a signs of separation. Everything looked good after 4-5 firings, so I'll deprime and wet tumble to get it ready for next season.

I've got a couple different 6.5 bullet varieties, but I'd love to find some Hornady 143gr ELD-X. I don't have any of those yet.
Keep a watch at Scheels and grafs. I have managed to stock up pretty well on the 143 grain eldx. They run pretty close to the 140 grain match bullets I had been loading.

I have a lot of testing to do after deer season.

I just picked up the Fix rifle in 6.5 about a month ago. What a fine time for me to start trying load for a new caliber.🤷‍♂️ I'm still waiting on the bipod and scope mount to arrive so I can get the scope mounted and zero'd. I've got some Hornady 140gr Match loaded up and ready for when everything else gets here.
