Today at the Bench.....

Shot some test loads in my 25-06 pistol for the first time, 87gr soft points over 4064. Recoil was mild and the load shot pretty good. Look forward to doing some more testing.

Finally have done something reloading related. Fireformed 338-06 Ackley and 375 whelen Ackley brass cleaned and dried. Two batches of 30-06 brass in the dryer, third batch being cleaned. Next is starline 41 mag brass. Feels good to be getting back in the saddle.

I found this a while back going through some of Dad's stuff .
WRA didn't make much of this , Star Line has probably made as much as they did Remington was the big one . I don't know if it was primed brass or a factory 200 gr LSWC . Dad had stuff all over and little treasures like this in boxes and cans . 529877e1cd1a40d206113d76436e82eb.0.jpg

I did my last 200 9mm xtreams in 115gr I bought from Wes a couple months ago. Time to place another order.

What powder are you using with them?

3.8gr of titegroup. It’s a bit high on the charge but my canik would not cycle the 3.5gr loads my brothers glocks like.

[JeffreyDeGraff]

I think 3.8 is what I use for 115 and 124 in my XDM. I’m finishing up the last of my 124’s Ive got loaded up, then I’m going to load a mess of 115’s.

After way too long away from the bench, I’m back. Got my new bench set up and have been doing some long needed brass prep.

I got my 375 whelen and 338-06 brass prepped, tumbled and ready to load.

9.3x62 brass is sized and trimmed, just need to chamfer/debur before it goes in the corn cob.

Ive got 25 out of 200 WW 30-06 range brass, FL sized.

I took my Husqvarna model 46, 9.3x57, and 91 Argentine Mauser, 7.65x53, to the gunsmith. The Husqvarna he is just checking out to make sure everything is good, the Argentine has a crack in the stock that he’s going to pin and glue, then he’s going to properly inlet and bed it.

Sounds good JTD! I too have been away too long. A lot of demands on my time right now between work, the yard and a pending construction job here at the house. I will get back to it, I have plans to get the Savage BR out this year and work on it again. I have a few bullets that I have not tried and am anxious to see how good the gun, (or these old eyes) can shoot again. What is worse is that I have a new 1911 (my first) in the safe that I haven't even shot yet. This must end, lol.
