What did you reload today?

Loaded a few 300H&H with N555 to test a new locally manufactured 180gr mono.
Looks like they could work for a Kalahari trip in July.
Looks like AXE bullets enjoy your hunt.
 
Thanks Frederik.
It’s the AXE 180gr LR
With a BC of .571, I get a MPBR of 290m.
Also have a stable load at 65.2gr of N555, but not getting full burn out in my 24” barrel.
 
Yesterday. Trial loads for 45-70 with 380 gr Lehigh WFN Solid.

I loaded 300 heavyweight cartridges for my little Winchester M92 lever action carbine in .357 magnum. 180 gr. Sierra Flat Point Jacketed, with 14.0 gr. Lil'Gun powder for 1700 fps. Makes the little carbine black bear capable if necessary in a pinch, but it's mostly a small game/pest/plinking rifle when used with lighter loads.
 
worked up a load for my Sauer 100 in 9.3x62 using 250 Barnes 62 gr of Varget and 210 fed primers with a 1/4 crimp velocity 2578 fps heavy recoil and no pressure noticed in my rifle
 
Worked up a 9.3x74R load for the Chapuis.

I guess I can live with a 29mm group at 50m.

Sellier & Bellot cases and projectiles.
ADI 2209 (aka IMR 4350 aka Hodgdon H4350) powder.
Rem LRP
 
Loaded x 250, 147gr 9mm P bullets lead bullets covered with plastic.
Shoots and feeds well in my HP Browning no going to buy some more after the test.
 
Trying to find a load my .308 likes. I found it in a Pawn shop and the best so far is about 1.1 inches at 100 yards. Trying for .75 or less. Now experimenting with 168 grain gold dots.
I also changed the trigger out today.

try 150 gr Hammer bullets with a 1/8 to 1/4 crimp good velocity and easy to tune, I shoot them in my .06 and when I do my part they will group 3/4" at 200 yards at 2965fps out of an 18" barrel
 
I picked found these in the Christmas clearance stuff at my local Kroger. They measure 12 x 7 1/4, and 4 1/2 deep. They were on clearance at $6.99 for a 5 pack. I picked up two packs to organize brass.
 
Had developed a load for my R8 .375 Wby barrel but think I can do a little better in velocity and accuracy so I loaded a ladder of Hybrid 100V with the 300gr Barnes TSX and a ladder of 6.5 Grendel (bolt gun) with the 123gr Sierra with CFE223. Was hoping to head for the range yesterday or today but too much rain, so I’m set for next week.

You have the wrong person. I have no idea what you are talking about..

I have been using a "Personal Property" rider on my State Farm homeowner's policy to cover guns when I travel with them.
I have several firearms, but only one is worth over $20K (A Heym double rifle).
Very interested.
Would firearms be covered for damage, as well as, complete loss?
I'll can let the State Farm rider cover my watches...
