What did you reload today?

327 Fed Mag.
85 Gr. XTP
5.5 gr Unique

This is not a published load. Use at your own risk. In my gun it works great.
 
Added a 5lb 260 to the stable, found a Rem 700 BDL SS DM in the box never fired from 1999. New TriggerTech (love them), with lightened metal and she is a match to the others. Working on a load with some 130 accubonds. So far of the 5 powders and loads tried it likes W760, RL 15 and IMR 4350, did poor with RL19 and IMR 4831. Got 15 various loads to shoot today, with the 4350, RL15 and 760 got under .5 with 3 shot groups yesterday. Hoping for a little better with tweaked .5 gr loads today, if not I go back to what she liked yesterday as my hunting load. Hoping the 4350 wins as I have lbs of that and use in no other gun. RL's up here are like gold now that they are not imported.

BTW the price stamp on the 4350 is $15.99 from Yeager's in Seattle, been awhile in the powder safe. Spending life in the military and being in the US monthly helped fill this Canadians loading room stock levels in retirement. Call me a component hoarder.

With the winter weather here in Minnesota and if your reloading station is in your garage there is a limited amount of time I can spend in the garage, so when the latest heat wave (47deg) as a high I took the opportunity to load a 100rds of 38 Super

I loaded some 297/250 rook today for a takedown Westley Richards. I only had 15 prepped cases and you don't want to crunch one of those buggers. It's a modified 22 Hornet case with 2.0 grains of Unique and 55 grain .25 cast. I need to get some more cases made but you need a lathe.

Nearing the end of the annual brass prep for 7 cartridges, 9 barrels, around 2,000 brass. All turnbolts. Then I'm GTG for the shooting season. The gas guns are fed factory fodder only.
 
I also loaded some 375 H&H with 270 TSX for an upcoming black bear hunt in Saskatchewan. Most guys like to take something smaller but I like to get exits on these bears. Taking the Champlin .375 this time but with a different scope than pictured (Swaro Z8i 1-8x).

Out of all the different color variations of Impala the black Impala just stands out with its beautiful pitch black hide.

Impala is one of the animals you will see all over Africa.
You can see them in herds of a 100 plus together.

This excellent ram was taken with one of our previous client this past season.
