Loaded up 350 rounds of RMR 124gr FMJ's over some True Blue . It was good to get back to a larger smooth pistol session. I'm going to pull out my cheap $28 bullet feeder for the next run.

Deprimed and tumbled 1200 pieces of 5.56.
Swagged and primed 100 to work up some loads I didn't have much luck with the first go around. The new Dillon Super Swage is night and day better than my old RCBS Swage Tool though. Worth every penny. Sorted all my 5.56 and half of my 9mm by headstamp. After that's done everything will be clean and organized, which will be nice. Went to resize some of the LC I just got and realized that my expander rod is bent to hell. I'm going to have to order a replacement...

Went to the range. Sighted in my 458 socom.
Then, tested some 6.5 CM. Results for one test are inconclusive. There is a thread on here about it. The other test went well. Reduced recoil loads for the CM were awesome. Accuracy was good. Multiple sub MOA 5 shot groups in the work up. Came home and resized all the 458 socom brass I had. Gotta go start the tumbler before I forget. Then, I annealed all the 6.5 CM brass I had shot today. |

Yesterday went shooting. Tried out new AR 9 pistol build. Successful test.
See my post in the AR 15 "Rimfire and Pistol Calibers" forum for more details. Shot over 1k between the new AR 9 pistol and the AR 9 carbine. Think I finally shot up all of my bare cast loads in 9mm. Only PC from here on out. Today I sorted the 223, 7.62x39, from the 9mm. Didn't have to sort the 357 as they went back in the plastic cartridge box. Just love the PC 158 gr home cast SWC and 10 grs of True Blue. A little lighter than a full H-110 load, but still smacks the steel. Got the steel 7.62x39 dry tumbled. Tomorrow will start deprimming and wet tumbling the 357 and 9mm. 223's belonged to NW556. |

Finally got my Dillon 550 up and running for my 45 ACP reloading. I don't know how I feel about the Dillon. It has pros and cons over my Hornady LNL. I suppose I'll need more time to get a feel for it. I only loaded 200 rounds on it. Priming and resizing is definitely better on the Dillon. I think the rest goes to the LNL.
Time will tell. |

Shot a small set of 6.8 SPC reloads in my PSA 6.8 upper.
These are my first “bottleneck rifle in a semi auto” reloads. 100% functioning all rounds, ejecting was consistent and carrier locked to rear on all final rounds. Now reloading a charge ladder for accuracy testing. Using my new Hornady 6.8 seating die for these reloads. The “sleeve” in this die is a big improvement for the flat base 90 gr Nosler bullets in loading. |

I took my powder measure’s hopper off and cleaned the heck out of it. Before I start up another large loading project, I want to de-static the hopper as much as possible, and cleaning is the first step.
I started with Dawn and warm water with a brush to scrub the inside. Then I used alcohol-based hand sanitizer to clean more - the gel consistency of the sanitizer got it to stay in contact with the plastic for longer. I finished up with a rinse in isopropyl alcohol. I’m going to let it just sit and dry overnight, and I’ll paste wax the insides tomorrow or Tuesday evening. I also spent some time reading the CMP’s forums. There’s a lot of great data about loading for .30 Carbine, particularly about how the brass DOES need to be trimmed, and not just for consistency. I have a bunch of brass and bullets, lots of primers and powder, so I’m working on the details of loading a very large quantity of this stuff. |
