Can’t wait to hear how that Swede does!


JTD

I wonder if it is worth trying light bullets in it, 100-120gr?

I've shot 95gr V-Max out of my Swede with good success. Worked up a load that duplicates the POI of my 140gr hunting loads.

I shot the Swede today. The 100gr Sierra HP over N150 shot good. 100gr Hornady Amax over 3031 didnt shoot very good at all. Still have a few more bullets to try in the Swede before I settle on a hunting load.

I acquired a couple thousand once-fired LC 5.56 brass about 6 months ago and have had too much going on to address it. This weekend I plan on cutting down about 1K rounds for 300AAC and getting that going... kind of a pain in the butt but it beats finding & buying new or shooting up the reserves..

That should keep you busy. Do you have a jig and the harbor freight mini chop saw?

Yessir, I do. Squirrel Daddy jig, Harbor Freight cut-off saw, Little Crow trimmer, RCBS dies, and Lee factory crimp die all for 300AAC.

You are set. Let us know how it goes.

This weekend was pretty productive. I loaded 100 45 Colt with 250gr cast RNFP and trailboss. And 476 45acp with 230gr xtreme RN and W231.

I also made some test loads for 45Colt with 255gr Xtremes and unique. And 45acp with 230gr Rainier HP and W231 and bullseye.

I primed my starline 45-70, and decapped 100+ 257 Roberts brass.

Ive got a bunch more things to do, on my list.

Wow! You were busy. I have a question, can you reload 45 Colt with 45-70 dies? I am wondering why I have a set of dies and I wonder if the brass I sold you came with the dies. The older I get, the less I remember, lol.
