First 50 /.45 230 gn :)

So when starting a new load or Calibur how many rnds do you make for test before you make a shyt load?

Groups of 5, for me.  Make 5 different variants, mark them and separate them, shoot them in groups.

Just loaded up some new 9mm 147gr subsonic loads using Titegroup to shoot out of my just assembled suppressed AR15 SBR.

I started with 25 pcs over 3.3 gr, 50 pcs over 3.4 gr (seemed to be the most popular load that I found) and 25pcs over 3.5 gr all seated to 1.160" COAL .  After shooting the different loads, I will go with the 3.5gr loads.  The 3.3 functioned well but the action seemed to struggle a bit.  The 3.4 were great but the 3.5 gr loads seemed to cycle the best, had the best accuracy and for what ever reason, seemed to be the quietest.  

Back to the fun shop for 1k Berry's 147gr RN and then home to load up this week.

The MINI CHOP SAW NINJA went ballistic tonight, so I had to get to work...  110 pieces of 5.56 NATO turned into 300BLK.  Chopped, resized and deprimed, and ready to have primer pockets reamed and trimmed to length.

 

She's NUTS.  I'm not saying anymore right now...  :cookoo:

That setup is brilliant brother. <thumbsup>    Looking over glasses can't be good as brass is not magnetic to ease removal,I have had metal get in me eye a few times even with safety glasses on it most certanly sucked.

I got those 110 new pieces of 300BLK brass trimmed to 1.363", and cut out the primer swages.  Lake City brass is the hardest $hit to cut out, too.  Got them all tumbled again and just finished priming them.  Gonna go load them up in a few.  Using 16.1gr H110 with Hornady 150-gr SSTs on top this time.

So he found 3 lbs of imr 7828 is there any use in 308 for this?? I see its a magnum pow but can I use it in a lower dose or don't bother? Thanks for your info!!
