resized a out a bunch of random 308 ammo to shoot in a new to me Winchester M70 match rifle.
Going to load a bunch of 6.5 Creedmoor tonight as well. Cat |
How did the new trigger work in that rifle Cat?

This rifle is a different one, 1977 vintage, and it already had a Canjar match trigger in it, but I had to set it up.:) Cat |
Set up the sizing dies for the kids 6.5x55(had barrel changed)
Pulled 11 rounds of 140 Cinchaga’s, that wouldn’t chamber in this new tube. |
Vacuumed up some spilled powder and shot.
|
Hung a shelf to organize a bit better. Organized and condensed ammo boxes from rifles I no longer own. Plus loaded 20 7mmRM , 28 243, 20 6.5 CM, and adjusted seating depth on some 308 loaded for one rifle but testing in another as the rifle is sold.

I put a box of Herters 300 win mag on the shelf, found a Savage accutrigger tool for a fellow AO member and closed the door

Not the intended use of my reloading room but being in the doghouse I slept on the reloading room floor...:bad_boys_20:

Thats precisely why you should always store your sleeping bag and air mattress in the gun room......and food and beer too. |

I did not do anything in my reloading room today.
Because I don't have to. I already have loads developed for all my cartridges. |
Prepped and loaded up some .223 rounds with 40gr Berger’s for coyotes. I figured I should probably start calling and did a gear check/prep. I had two, yes, that’s right; a paltry two rounds. Stock on hand is now back to where it should be.

I pressed a few rounds for my pump .243. I did a proper charge test and backed off when it was hard to open the action. Found an accurate round at 34.5 gr of varget under a 100 gr partition. I’m gonna chrono these rounds next outing but I got thinking, is that on the slow side? I never thought of it when I started reloading and I have plinking ammo and hunting ammo for this pump. I like using it for deer but I didn’t have a chrono when I first started reloading. Anyone have other experience with 100 gr .243 loads?
I also got ammo ready to head out and shoot at the range. I am recently laid off so I’ll have more trigger time. Also put together a shopping list for my low supplies. |

Finally cleaned my bench. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
Well I've been picking away at getting my reloading area set up in my new place the past couple of weeks. In my last place I didn't have room for a proper setup and basically stored everything in 4 Rubbermaid totes and adapted my press and trimmer to clamp to whatever flat surface I could find to use as a temporary work bench. It worked, but was a pain in the arse at times! Now I have a 2ft deep x 5ft long bench with a galvanized sheet metal top where I'll permanently mount my press. Above this I have 3 Mastercraft cabinets which nicely hold all of my tools and components with some extra room for expansion down the road. :)
I'm looking for ideas on how and where to mount my RCBS case trimmer 2 so it's somewhat out of the way but still accessible. How have others addressed this? |

I did a much needed clean up and pulled out my recurve bow again. I do need to do a bit of load development for a my lever guns and some finishing stock work on a rifle in fitting for my 11 year old..

Today was a great day,my Spolar shotshell loader finally arrived.Went together so smooth and flat out worked like it should from the first pull of the handle.Looking forward to tomorrow to get serious about it !!

I went to buy more 100gr partitions and p and d was out. They had a mountain of 95 gr. I may make the switch after I shoot off this box, if I haven’t found any more that is. Just seems like no one is using the 95’ers |

Finally made it out to the range to day (To heck with the wind) Looks like my time was well spent on this 6mm International... looks like it is a winner :sHa_shakeshout::sHa_shakeshout::sHa_shakeshout:
|
at this point there are no other plans to reload anything but 12 gauge ammo on it...but ya never know
|
It's snowing real good here now...not an outdoors day.
Put a new scope on the 25.06. Likely won't be able to access my range until late May lol. https://i.imgur.com/I4dJwZX.jpg |
