What did you reload today?

Loaded up 50 rounds of .458 Win Mag with 66.0 H4895 and the Barnes Original 400 SP for spring bear guiding. I put the "smacking" on a charging bear with this load. He may have been bluffing, but at 10 feet, I called his bluff.
 
Prepped 40 25-06 casings getting ready to load up some test rounds with retumbo and IMR 4831. Speer 120 grain hot cor and 117 grain interlocks. Would like to try the 110 accubond but no luck.

Reloaded some more 300 H&H practice ammo with 180 Nosler Partitions. :D

80 rounds of 30-06 using Barnes 168 ttsx-bt and 50gr IMR 4064.
 
Assembled some .308 with 168gr Barnes TSX with TAC powder. Trying to fine tune the load.
Also loaded a ladder series of .375 Wby with 300gr Barnes and IMR4831.
Tonight going to load some 6.5 Grendel. Probably with 123gr Hornady SST.
 
nothing for the next week or so. last night stepped over my Yellow Lab and she turned and caught my foot and down I went on my right shoulder. Went to the Dr today and after a half dozen x-rays they believe everything will be ok, hope so hurts like heck and can't raise the arm to shoulder height. Dang looking at loading up loads for my new Sauer 9.3x62 with Hammer Bullets.
 
that is what I need to do with my 6 Creedmore and 204 Ruger have about 4-6 hundred of each ready to go, just need a place to go. a buddy told me of a place in west river may have to make a couple day run out there real soon.
 
What is the recoil like in the number 1?
It’s very manageable, to me at least. I put an NECG 1-1/4” butt pad on it before I fired it to increase the LOP and added a Leupold Vari-X 3iii 1.5-5 scope so I can’t comment on a bare #1 in 450/400.
 
Deprimed, sized, cleaned, and primed 200x once fired 300 PRC cases…

Starting the load development process now… hoping the rifle likes 208gr Barnes LRX over a healthy powder charge…
 
I decided to try and beat the rain this afternoon, so hopped on the lawn mower and went and fixed my target stand and of course mowed each way to the target, then went in and started working on a load for the Sauer 100 9.3x62 using 258 Stone Hammer bullets with N540 powder, started at 59 gr and stopped at 61.0 getting 2613 fps from the 22 in barrel. backed off to 60.8 for an average of 2597 getting a group of about 1 1/4 inches at 115 yards with the wind blowing from every where at about 12mph and then the rain hit. tomorrow will be back it seeing if I can get good speed out of Big Game powder and a little better grouping.

Had an excellent classifieds transaction with JoninCO. A truly honest and standup member. I wouldn't hesitate at all to deal with him again. Thanks, J!

Hi Lance, Hope you well. I collect Mauser rifles and they are very much part of my cultural history in Africa. Would you consider selling the rifle now a year on ? I'd like to place it in my collection of Mauser rifles. Many thx

I saw where you hunted elephant with backcountry safaris in Zimbabwe.
Was looking to book an elephant hunt and wanted to know how your hunt went
and if you would recommend them.

Thanks
Mike
