Home brewed or purchased in the .357?

I load 158 XTP's. 180's sound fun.

Those are from Montana bullet works, they make great hard casts. I’ve been meaning to get into casting myself, I just haven’t yet.

Did all this hunting ammo up while I was bored in January. Bunch of 108’s/133’s/156’s/168’s/195’s. Should be gtg for a minute on hunting ammo.

Loading 300 WSM with some 165 deep curl tonight.

That didn't go so well. After prepping, priming and loading powder into the cases, I finally opened the box of Deep Curls only to find a warning note to not follow standard loading practices. WTF. Ah, hell, I proceeded anyway. After loading and final crimping 40 different cartridges, I called it good for the night and went inside the house. It had peaked my curiosity so I looked it up on the web. Damn, they can have pressure problems. About half are loaded with Vectan Tubal 8000 which I have load data for but it always seemed to say I can get more powder in the case than I can. Kinda like the starting load is closer to the max load. Not a good thing to take chances with so this morning I pulled all 40 bullets. There really wasn't any marks left on the pulled bullets and I did it with a fencing pliers so I do believe they are case hardened. I then tried to load Nosler 165 Ballistic tips but the bullet was getting stuck in the seating die so I dropped that idea and now have them loaded with 165 Speer boat tails. Just need it to warm up or quit blowing so I can check the fruits of my labor.

.270 Win that was renamed .270 Thors Hammer from its performance.
27" Preferred Barrel Light Palma, 700LA trued, 1:8tw, 0.290 freebore, Triggertech.

156HH @3250 with RL26, topped over 3300. Very accurate, farthest kill to date 615ys. Fun rifle to shoot!

I loaded up 60 rounds for a depredation hunt I was invited recently. Thankfully, have 12#'s of RL26!

So nice to hear that you have plans to shoot at an animal past 615 yards. I'm sure you are a good shot and all, but it kills me that people are proud of doing this, so much so, that they need to post it on the internet.

I build rifles to maximize their performance, the 615yds is actually at my own self imposed maximum distance for a variety of reasons one of which is not the rifle. The internet is a place to share information. You can take it or leave it.

Got a week of bitter cold coming up, so I'll probably be doing more loading than shooting.
Working on a good load for my 45 colt with 280gr WFN around 1025fps and a 32H&R load with 130gr SWC that's 925fps from my sp101.
Need to load up some more 6ARC 105gr BTHPs and some 300BLK 220gr subs.
Also told my Dad I'd load a couple hundred 32H&R 98gr WCs for his J-frame. Should be a good time to do that.

Hoping to get out and shoot some instead of just loading.

308,30-06 and 7mm-08 all with nosler hunting ballistic tips today.

Like them red tips!

 

[N2TRKYS]

In the next couple of days I can be found at my drill press loading TSS turkey loads.

 

[nhenry]

I’ll be loading all of my remaining 145gr HHTs in my 280 AI in the next week. Got a good load put together in November and just haven’t ran another bulk batch.

 

[Dan-06]

I’m looking to reload my 6.8 western. I have vihtivouri powder. Any suggestions? I have 550, 165, 555, and 560.

You use a drill press to reload?

Yes. Some folks use a hand drill, but I went the drill press route. I don’t think I would have liked using a hand drill.

You roll crimping or what are you doing?

What bullet? Any of them could work well with the cartridge. 550 might be a bit on the fast side for heavies.

 

[Dan-06]

I have some 165 grain

 

[Wind Gypsy]

I have some 165 grain

I’d think 165 and 560 would be best of those choices from a burn rate standpoint.
