george_995 Posted March 27, 2015 Report Posted March 27, 2015 200rds 9mm w/147gr lead projo on top of 3.2 universal and 100rd .223 55gr nosler on top of 24gr of imr4064. Never tried the imr4064 w/ 5.56/223, can't wait to see how it does.
98Z5V Posted March 28, 2015 Report Posted March 28, 2015 The "rest" is in hand already. I just have to get out of the comfy chair and get to work. UNASS THAT CHAIR, BROTHER!!! <lmao>
AngelDeVille Posted March 28, 2015 Report Posted March 28, 2015 I have 50 test rounds ready to go. I'm using pulled .308 180gr projectiles and the powder from 1940's Bulgarian 7.62x54. (Crappy brass berdan cases, beautiful bullets and powder) Previous testing proved the powder to be similar to IMR 4320 and 4064. 10 rounds each, 42, 42.5, 43, 43.5 and 44gr powder charges. I'm looking for just under 2600fps, and the best accuracy.
98Z5V Posted March 28, 2015 Report Posted March 28, 2015 Holy Fuk - 44gr under a 180 is gonna be a stout load! Brace Yourself!
AngelDeVille Posted March 28, 2015 Report Posted March 28, 2015 (edited) Holy Fuk - 44gr under a 180 is gonna be a stout load! Brace Yourself! If I meet my goals before I get to that load, I'm stopping! I'm thinking a max load would be 45 grains, but no need for maxing it out. Edited March 28, 2015 by AngelDeVille
mineralman55 Posted March 28, 2015 Report Posted March 28, 2015 UNASS THAT CHAIR, BROTHER!!! <lmao> A new verb is born.
Malig8r Posted March 28, 2015 Report Posted March 28, 2015 A new verb is born. Unass is a term in common usage in the Army. So much so that I dare say you could use it in scrabble and not be contested.
AngelDeVille Posted April 3, 2015 Report Posted April 3, 2015 Well I formed up 30+ cases of 300 BLK, the big hitch in the whole thing was the crappy Lee trimmer. Other than that it was pretty easy. I need to pull some more bullets before I load up some.
98Z5V Posted April 3, 2015 Report Posted April 3, 2015 300BLK case making has turning into a great hobby for me. Love making those little bastards... <lmao> I seriously need to get off my ass and load a metric poop-ton of 5.56 for next weekend. I'm slacking on that. ***45-70 is WAY covered. I have more on-hand than "THE MEN" will be able to shoot. If they try, their next few days will be painful... <lmao> ***.308 Win is WAY covered. Plenty. ***300BLK - I won't have room in the truck to haul all that schit to the range. I need Mike's sub-compact for the excess ammo. ***12ga is in ridiculous abundance. Anybody wants to shoot the 930 SPX is welcome - but watch me when i load it. I have a habit of loading a Magnum Slug first, so it's the last thing you pull... <lmao> I usually catch this trick on video... :banana: *** I need more .45ACP, but can make do with what i have. ***FAT IRMA ammo is in MASSIVE ABUNDANCE!!!
Dane Armory Posted April 3, 2015 Report Posted April 3, 2015 Primed 492 cases of 40S&W today. Nothing special. Need to buy some projo's.

survivalshop Posted April 5, 2015 Report Posted April 5, 2015 Cut down some 5.56 brass , formed them to 300BLK & trimmed . Going to load some more 110 gr."ers .

MikedaddyH Posted April 18, 2015 Author Report Posted April 18, 2015 Broke my RCBS 300wsm sizing die. Pin and threaded tip are inside a piece of brass. Anyone have a website that has RCBS parts ?
Malig8r Posted April 18, 2015 Report Posted April 18, 2015 Broke my RCBS 300wsm sizing die. Pin and threaded tip are inside a piece of brass. Anyone have a website that has RCBS parts ? I would just give RCBS a call and let them know what happened. I hear they have great customer service. 1-800-379-1732
MikedaddyH Posted April 18, 2015 Author Report Posted April 18, 2015 Found 2 of 3 parts in stock at midway USA.
survivalshop Posted April 19, 2015 Report Posted April 19, 2015 Some 110 V-Max test loads for the 300BLK . I like the 110 gr. Bullet, but I have liked all the loads I have made up for the 300BLK .
98Z5V Posted April 27, 2015 Report Posted April 27, 2015 Finally got something accomplished on the bench today. 250rds of 150gr 300BLK and 500rds of 55gr 5.56. That's 750rds on the single-stage RockChucker, bitches. <thumbsup> Bet my Canadian Acquaintance used to load 4k rds a day, like that, though... :fawkdance:
sketch Posted April 27, 2015 Report Posted April 27, 2015 (edited) Good on ya bro I'm at a standstill with the 300. Blk! Loaded my first 150 rnds of factory brass in my lee dies and then 300 rnds of my cutdown .223 brass and it seems the sholder is either too long or. Squished? I thought it was my crimp but it's obivios the formation of the brass is less than standard in my lee dies! Rcbs dies are in root! Now I have to unload half my brass! That's what I get from loading at night I guess. Ps all rnds were trimmed to the same length with the WFT. Edited April 27, 2015 by sketch
98Z5V Posted April 27, 2015 Report Posted April 27, 2015 You trim them before you formed them? That can do it. Gotta resize them first, then trim for length after that, when you're cutting them down from 5.56 donors.
