I finally got the time to load my dad some 7-30 Waters. We could only find 30-30 brass so I necked it down, loaded it up light and fire formed 50 rounds and then started all over loading the actuals. He wants to hunt with it so I loaded them up with 140 grain partitions over 33.6 grains of H335. It was a long but rewarding process. The only not so fun part was having to fire everyone of those through his Contender that kicks like a little mule! LOL.

Well, I just got back home from a 3 day riding trip at Royal Blue. Before I left, my wife asked me to load her 12 rounds without powder or primers. And she needed 48 bullets. Didn't know for sure what she was up to, but when I got home today, I have a new clock over my reloading bench in the basement. Its something she saw on pinterest, but I think it turned out pretty cool.

I don't have a reloading room….yet. But thanks to a forum member I now have most of the hardware I need. So now comes the task of trying to find bullets, powder and primers.
And that is the struggle at the moment is finding the components, mainly primers. Powder and projectiles aren't hard to find, but you may not find the exact ones you want.

Just loaded up 40 rounds of 7mm-08 for my sons Christmas present. Loaded 20 at .2 grains above minimum for sight in and 20 in higher increments for accuracy testing. Gonna try IMR 4350 with 120 NBTs since I've got a fresh 8lb jug. 4350 may be a little slow burning for the 120s, bit if the gun doesn't like it I have some Varget that I'm sure will do ok.
