What did you reload today?

It’s a ball powder as stated by puddle. Some say the are harder to ignite, I have burned pounds and pounds of Winchester 760 and never had a trouble. Most factory ammo is loaded will ball powder. The current military 556 ammo is loaded with Winchester 748 ball powder.
I would use your load with confidence.
 
Loaded 100 more 230gr snake eggs while a batch of .45 brass was being cleaned this afternoon.
 
That load is within Hodgdon's recommended load range.

The only niggly point I can think of is it's a double-base powder, so a steady diet may increase wear at the throat, but you'd have to fire A LOT of that powder to see that kind of wear.

I use that powder in multiple cartridges, including the H&H.
Okay than you very much. Good to know.

Today I put 100 rounds through my 20" Cimarron 1866 Yellowboy chambered in .38 Special, and 50 rounds through my 7 1/2" new model Ruger Vaquero chambered in .45LC.
 
loaded 20 rounds for my .280 a-bolt, 53 grs 4831 and a 150 gr scirocco bullets, thats my normal hunting load. shoots very good. i,m going to try imr 4350, my friend claims imr 4350 is the cats meow in his remington 700 in .280.
 
Decided to dust off the old girl and load her some fresh ammo.
Hoping there’s a Warthog or Impala day dreaming so I can test the bullets out.

Sunday I melted 26 lbs of range lead ingots and cast 485 210 gr bullets for my .45 acp and 520 158 gr .38 caliber bullets. Yesterday I got the .45 bullets sized and lubed, and today I'll finish lubing and sizing the .38s.
 
Started my annual prepping of brass for use the rest of the year.
Wrapped up completing 400+ brass divided about equally between the 9.3x62mm and the .375 H&H.
Now I'm up to my elbows working through about 500 brass for the .30-06.
 
I've been doing a lot of 45 Auto Rim lately and cast loads for 30-40 Krag. I need to load more 470 Nitro and 45-90 with holy black for the Wesson long range rifle.
 
What projectile, exactly?

Search of 'SBC .375 250 grain' shows me lots of pointy things.

My M1910 likes round nose 270 grain.
