Are those the Premium series dies?

I'm still waiting for the Redding S type bushing dies to become available again for my 6.5 creedmoor, my just pull the trigger on the whidden dies if I have to wait much longer.

LOL yes those 4 cavity molds really let you hammer out the bullets don't they.

yeah lead is harder to get no more wheel weights.
use Glenns white label Red carnuba lube, alloy is ?? maybe about BHN of 10-11 is about 1-2% tin 1-2% antimony.
 
Today I reloaded 1000 rounds of 40 S&W. That makes it 4,000 rounds this year.
Nothing. I can’t find primers anywhere. I have an 8 lb jug of old generic pistol powder but it may have spent too many summers in an un air conditioned room here in Arizona for me to trust it.

Well it sounds like you're set for a busy three days of shooting!
 
A bunch of what I call 6ARC ammo.. Its full name is 6mm Advanced Rifle Cartridge, which turns into 6mm ARC or 6ARC.. It's a higher-performance cartridge for AR-15-sized actions, with same rim and (generally) body size as the 6.5 Grendel.

My rifle is a Uintah UP-15...

...a bolt-action that uses AR-15 lowers.. I received mine last month but did not complete the barrel break-in, and then I got obsessed with my 6XC-caliber benchrest rifle.. Now I'm back to Little6. :) Scope is a Zeiss Conquest V6 5-30X56X30 that may be the optically finest scope I've ever looked thru.

I loaded about 25 rounds of 30 Carbine ammo. I may test tomorrow be loading loading more. I was given several lbs of IMR-4227 powder, the 30 carbine is a good candidate.
 
Hi.
Not so much what i have been reloading as what i intend to do once this bloody lockdown has been lifted. All shooting ranges closed.

I have a new 25-06 Barrel on the Borden Action that needs a load brewing for it. I take all my reloading gear to the range and get set up there.

Got some Nosler Brass and various Bullets to try. May well source some Barnes as the legislation over here is very much leading to lead free Bullets for Deer Hunting. 100 grain TTSX should do the Job :). I would use the 80 grain but law states 100 grain minimum where i stalk Red and Fallow.

Not the best of pics but here is the 25-06.

Hi JJ.
Bit of a Mongrel really. American action (Borden), American stock (McMillan) Kiwi barrel (Truflite) American scope (Leupold) and British rail and rings (Tier One).
Driving on the left is the only logical way to do things :) .

Yes i am a lefty. All my Bolt guns are left handed. I manage ok though with a 10/22 and Berreta and Mossberg shotguns which are all right handed.
