    Today at the Bench.....

    I finally got the 200 blackout rounds loaded for my brother, and I’ve put together some test loads for 7.62x54R and 7x57.

    7.62x54R is with Speer 150gr SP at 2.900”, and IMR3031, H4895, IMR4895, IMR4064, and IMR4320.

    7x57 is with Hornady 139gr SP at 3.000”, and IMR3031. And some old Nosler 120gr FP at 2.800” with IMR3031, IMR4064, and H4895.

    So do I! I hope somewhere along the way I can find some more, maybe at a gun show or something.

    My bench has been boring lately. Not much going on. I deprimed a mess of 32 Winchester special, 35 Remington, 30-40 krag, and nickel 6.5 creedmoor tonight.

    I’m hoping to get to the range several times this week, since I will be familyless starting tomorrow. This aught to give me some projects.

    I realized something tonight. I am a brass prep junkie. I don’t get to go shoot near as much as I’d like, so I keep buying more brass from Wes, so I’ll have something to do. I used to think that I disliked brass prep.

    You think your bench has been boring, mines been used for storage of odds and ends. Haha! The most I did lately was pull one empty .338-06 case from my pocket after hunting last night and put it in the ammo box for that cartridge. Too many other things going on. One more week of deer hunting and then maybe I’ll start back into some projects.

    My eldest son is home on leave, so I haven't done much of anything at all on the bench. I did cast a bunch of bullets for 40s&w and subsonic 300aac, but haven't gotten around to powder coating them yet.

    Been pretty busy at my bench lately since our governor "locked" us all down. In the past week I've inventoried all of my components and reloaded 204 Ruger, 22 Nosler, 223, 300 BO, 7mm-08 and 7x57. Prepped up a bunch of 338 and 22 Hornet and getting ready to do another batch of 204. Probably gonna "unlock" myself this weekend and go shoot some of it.

    That’s a good selection. What do you shoot out of your 204?

    I had been going with 40 gr. VMax, but just lately got a good deal on Speer 39 gr. TNT's so been loading those with various powders... CFE 223, BLC2, etc. to see what works best. Somehow I accumulated 5 204's along the way so could conceivably work up a different load for each.
