Thank you!
What did you do today in the reloading room?
- Thread starter Deerhunter
- Start date
Prepped about 100 pieces of brass each in .30-30 Win, .35 Rem, .243 Win, and .308 Win. It's been a long day, especially when it is all done manually by hand!

Weight sorted 500 .22 rounds+/- .04 grains. 
Just buy Eley Tenex and be done.Weight sorted 500 .22 rounds+/- .04 grains.
Tenex just doesn't perform as well as Lapua and SK in this CZ. I've tried every color of Eley and it just isn't for this rifle apparently.Just buy Eley Tenex and be done.
I got lucky with my 40x. It likes Eley Club, which is not crazy expensive.
SKSP is way cheaper than Center X, but CX is just a tad bit more akrit in my CZ .

Didn't do any reloading, but did put some time in at the bench piecing together a large frame lower. Went with a rock river varmint 2 stage trigger, hogue stock and grip. Will be pairing it to an aero upper that has a Wilson combat 6.5 cm ultimate hunter barrel.

Prepped 100 rds of Lapua .308 brass for next weekend's F Class match. I'll load with 43.4 grains of Varget under a Berger 200.20x hybrid.
Good luck buddy!

Caught index finger between 9 brass and universal decap die.
Doan do that. Maintain your pace slow wins the race:
1. It hurt.
2. Blood everywhere
3. You use your index finger a LOT.
Lost two days at the press. Still tender as can be

Prepped a pile of .38 special for loading. Shot new 280AI loads over a chrony and am very pleased. Pushing a 162grn SST at an average of 2,944fps with a 0.564 group. I think I will leave it alone.

Very nice velocity and accuracy on that 280.
Today i decapped another 1300 nickel pieces (by weight) of 9 brass.
I have to figure out how many plain brass are left. is a very large number.
1400 223 to decap SS tumble, prime. Another 2000 or so ready to load-55 and 62 gr FMJ armscor, 500 Nosler Ballistic tips. Got some M855s I am holding tight...anyone have a load recommendation? I have Shooters World powder and a few other selections.
Cleaned the CZ from last outing. I did find some Lapua X-Act yesterday evening....geez, the site only listed 10 boxes in stock from the get go, that's all I got.

According to weight and my scale, almost exactly 4,000 9's to decap.
I used 50 pieces of brass that weighed 7 ounces fired primers included as my standard.
I have close to but not sufficient bullets to load everything so I am on the hunt.

If you don't mind shooting coated lead bullets, give Summers Enterprises a look. They are great bullets at very good prices.

I just loaded 90 rounds of 7.82 Warbird. Going to Dead Zero on Monday to make that 1,000 yard target pay.
Using 220 gr SMK, with 90 gr of IMR 7828, which I am out of now. Does not take long to use up 2 lbs of powder making these rounds.
