Ok, loaded about 50-45CS loads today 200 gr SWC over 5.8-6.0 grains of AA#2. Also a couple mini 12 gauge shells with 11 grains AA#2 and 7/8 ounce shot.

Looking forward to the chrono results.

I still haven’t gotten into shotgun loads yet but I’m studying.
I like the roll crimp and the botfly slug mold. I’d say I got my powder coating figured out. Some powders just don’t work.

Should be about 715 fps. Doubt I'll break the chrono out, heck not even sure where I stashed it when I moved to this place last year.
Dang now I'll have to find it or it will drive me mad....🤦‍♂️

Loaded 25 rounds of 35 Remington for hunting next month. Pushing a 200 grain Hornady FTX at 2,300 fps.

You have some very interesting calibers

What powder you running Mr. Ed?

You have some very interesting calibers

The Cowboy 45 special is just a 45 colt that they shortened the case to the same length as a 45 acp and kept the pressures the same as the 45 colt at 14k. They did this so you could run reduced loads without all the air space in the casing. Aldo for those that shoot Black or sub black you don't have to run warthog loads.

The mini 12 was just a experiment, and I like to try and get all the reloads out of a hull as possible.

Hodgdon LeverEvolution.It seems to give the highest velocity out of a Marlin carbine while still being accurate not only for 35 Remington, but also, 30-30 Winchester.

Interesting, I Couldn't get anywhere with Lever, Sticky cases at nowhere near max loads.

I found it likes to run at max loads and is where it is accurate. It doesn’t seem to like low pressure. It really seems to like full cases or slightly compressed loads which is good for max velocity. My best loads with it in a marlin 336 in 30-30 and 35 Remington are both slightly compressed.

Going to load some 9mn this weekend. I found primers yesterday. Remington 1 1/2’s 80 for 1k. Quick internet search has warnings about which calibers not to load like 357 sig and 40cal. These boxes don’t have that warning on them. Not that I can see. All sold as singles at academy but wow they had everything except large primers. No limit and they are on the shelf now.

Which academy was it? I'm on the hunt for large pistol primers right now.

Gulfport, Diaperville or Hattiesburg?

well I’d call that a win for Speer hotcore once again. First loads I used last year was imr4064 and that’s a painful process of loading the powder charges. This time I did the 10 shot load strings and found flat spots in the FPS. This target was with AA2230. Loaded on a Dillon 750 in bulk. Accuracy was just as good. I don’t have a rest, just a bipod but it works. Those squares are about 1/2 inch on the target

 

[SubGunFan]

I like AA2230 for bulk 308 and 223.

My new favorite is ramshot tac and it’s cheap! I sure hope the prices keep coming down on powder and primers.

I've been experimenting with heavier bullets in subsonic 9x19 loads. I've found success with a 158 Grain Semi-Jacketed Hollow Point made by PPU. Sized to .356 and loaded over AA #2, I am getting an average velocity of 910 FPS from 3 different pistols (High Power, P226, and a Glock 19). They are accurate and feed with no issues. For expansion testing, I used gallon jugs of water. From 10 feet, the 158 penetrated through 3 jugs and was recovered in jug #4. Expansion: .474” Retained Weight: 157.2 grains.

Olive Branch?
