BERGER 6MM(.243)105g HPBT BULLET (VLD-TGT) 100/bx - Graf & Sons
The Berger VLD Target Bullet is one of the flattest shooting bullets on the market today. Emulated by all others, the VLD Target bullet incoporates a secant ogive design which allows the bullet to experience less drag as it travels to the target. This reduced drag is why the VLD shoots flatter...

And now 500 Cases Primed! Hand primed at that. I feel each case head after seating to make sure they are good to go... Midway gave me exactly 500 in that case, I was hoping for an extra to burn for my AMP. Cheap bastards, even in the 90s!
I usually do something for my male family members like a goofy tshirt or useful widgets for Christmas. @reubenski inspired this year's stocking stuffer.
Tree... ha.... I have BP and wells Index as the oldies sitting around doing nothing!!
Your sights do not appear to be co witnessed you slacker
Is the mirror so that @TheGerman can see himself as he helps you crank the handles from behind? Asking because he said it was!
When I was looking for mills years ago, I was eyeballing a Wells Index also.
Probably going to add another bench under the minisplit. I'm sure I won't finish it before flying out but I need to start on it. Hopefully I have enough of the same tubing I built the others out of.

I'm not even kidding. I asked him the same question when I saw this wooden framed mirror in the garage.
He looked at me and was like, no, thats just out here for now. Then pointed at that mirror and told me thats what that one was for.
Again.....not in the reloading room, but that is where the tools came from!
Have had a Ruger Mark II 22/45 for many years.....shot very little! Started doing a little shooting this past week, and discovered that several times per magazine......It failed to get a “trigger reset”! After some research, made an experimental adjustment/modification! Another success story for the Neanderthal Gunsmith!

168 SMK, 41 grains of Reloder 15, WLR Primers, New Winchester Brass and COAL 2.800

Ran another 100 rounds of 223 with 77 SMK over Varget and also loaded up a test with some 8208 before I pulled the 550 apart for cleaning and caliber swap. Time to start conserving the Varget for the bra. If only my barrel would show up
For those of you running dasher or br based cases what have you found best solution for ammo storage? I haven’t been able to find anything caliber specific.

As usual, managed to muck up stuff. Spent a good bit of time resetting my resizing/decapping die for the MPA. Finally got it right, only to find that it had an imperfection that was scratching the side of the brass. I did my best to polish it out. No joy, scratches cases, looks like it is going on a vacation to the Redding factory for some rehab). Needing to resize cases, I pulled the die used for the RPR (yes, the chambers are different enough that I use a separate sizing die for each rifle) Spent the time setting up that die and checking to see if the resulting cases would chamber after being sized.
Finally got them sized and cleaned to get the lube off. Lots of walnut shell kernals in the flash hole / primer pocket. Looks like I am going to spend some time running this brass through the decapping die and then cleaning out the primer pocket. Ah the joys of reloading.
the good news, out of 99 cases fired in this batch, not one neck / shoulder split was found. Simple annealing seems to help a lot.

Persistence is a Virtue when trying to buy powder these days. It slowly trickled in this past week but it is here.
Yes, the VV150 and the R17(painters tape) have been opened and some of it sent downrange.

Holy hell. I had been waiting a long time for Tubb to finally release this thing. Had no idea he was going to ask $675 for it. I was thinking about half that. Oh well. Guess I'll be waiting even longer.increased uniformity of the bullets ballistic drag coefficient as well as the adjustability of the NOSERING® tools’ cutting depth which allow the user to control a bullets’ expansive qualities while using your rifles muzzle velocity.
I would choose a less accurate bullet over that price every time.
I had the same extra feeder problem... lol
It's a 3d printed part that you use a 1" dowel. The 3D printed part is easily found on ebay. Or you can find the print file online.
Takes a few seconds to hook up.
Been loading 200 rds of 9mm on the S1050 each day for the last few days.
Light work, maybe an hours worth of set up and take down.
Will I run out of brass first....
Space in my ammo can.....fuckers getting heavy....
And just under 1K of primers left maybe 1 more K of 124 FMJs, lots of HP38 still.

i have loaded a pile of 44 magnums. i use the same loads in my pistols as in my rifles. no issues, EVER. i wouldn’t worry about trying to hotrod the bullets for fear of them not exiting the barrel. i think if anyone ever had any kind of issue with it, it would probably have been with the ruger deerfield auto loading. with a single shot, bolt, or lever, i wouldnt waste a second’s time worrying about that.
i’ve used the slower burning powders fully charged, and i’ve used lower charges of unique, 8.5 grains specifically with a 260 grain LBT cast.
hope that helps.
Dont have all the info in front of me. But they are 62 gn ss109 from everglades ammo. 24 gn of 4166. Cci srp. Seating depth and stuff have written down but not in front of me. Got the nickle cases from everglades as well ,mixed range brass. I sized and trimmed them. And swaged pita. Me and a buddy split a 500 ct. bag of bullets. He can shoot off his porch so he set up some steel targets and yes they went through.
Deprimed and cut the crimps out of about 1000 .45 ACP military brass...
And reloaded a couple of blocks of .338 Lapua... fireforming rounds. Nothing spectacular. But a good day to be in a nice warm reloading room... watching the snow through the window!

Shot a deer out of the reloading room window at 260 yards. 135gr .257 berger left a baseball sized hole on the exit.

Loaded some 300BO, Sierra 110g HPFB over 18g H110. Just shy of 2000fps.
God, I love reloading!
My current inventory……
.223 rem - 190 rounds
6.5CM - 270 rounds
6.5x47L - 220 rounds
.308win - 220 rounds
.38spl - 400 rounds
.357mag - 300 rounds
.44mag - 200 rounds
.45LC - 300 rounds
45-70 - 155 rounds
———————————-
Total - 2255 rounds ready to shoot.
The only caliber that’s missing is the .338LM. That rifle is waiting for a new barrel.
It does get cold and the nights long way up here above 53deg N Lat. But I’m now at the end of the line loading. I need to shoot some. But at -15c, those times shooting are not as common as in the summer.

I drilled and tapped a 338 lapua case to play with optimal solids placement and freebore because I was curious
I guess I'm an official Inline fanboy now..... the Dillon has been mounted for awhile just added the other mount, hanger and adapters last night.
Just some 308 stuff for a friend.
Lapua Palma brass
Varget (43.3gn)
185 hybrids

Loaded 50 rounds of 260 with cci #34 military primers to tinker with since I've got a few thousand of those laying around.
Made some room in powder storage for some new friends.....
Technically on Friday. Loaded 97 6.5 Creedmoor digging into the last of my 130 grain SMK’s. Superformance, 44 grains in Starline SRP brass using CCI BR-4. Been having problems with cracked necks. This batch got my rude and crude annealing and not one failure.
My FL die has started scratching cases. Deep enough scratch that can be felt with one’s finger. So, discarded about 20 cases (OUCH!) and the die will go back to manufacturer to get polished out. Seems to be a build up and I could not clean it out myself. Does not appear to be a defect. Strange.

Getting a few 9mm brass ready for some bulk loading. Found a 4lb jug of Ramshot True Blue at Midsouth so its time to load a couple thousand.....
Cleaned up and organizing before next loading session this weekend...
