Tales from the Reloading Room

Loading up some ladder tests for the 7PRC using the 184 Grain Berger. Running with LTR LRT and Retumbo for this.

Processed 150 pieces of Virgin AGD 7PRC brass yesterday and today. All Trimmed, chamfered, deburred, necks set at .002" and primed. This ADG had the shoulders back to far to touch them with my die, so a very expensive fireform will have to happen. I'm close though. .003" back from a fireformed piece.

Got some new Dies today. Now for the fun part. Getting primers, powder, and bullets

 

[rockchalk06]

Ouch

Firearms are easy to buy, it's the ammo to feed them that's hard to afford to buy.

I swore off any new calibers after my 7PRC.

Now I have a bunch of shit for 6GT coming. Afford is a relative term

I told myself the same thing about the 6arc. Now I have no interest in that rounds and went with 6GT.

Ya, somehow it picked up the name Gay Tiger and there are head stamped brass with it. These aren't, just normal Alpha OCD

Grrrrrrr

 

[ClintC]

That should do 10 rounds.

 

[Kwaynem]

Tried annealing for the first time

 

[rockchalk06]

The discoloration line is pretty far down? Is that normal?

I went and looked it up after I seen it.
Pretty near. I thought you were messing with me

I have no idea first time I tried it Clint has been helping me with it using his method he said they looked right

Ok cool. I have pretty limited knowledge on it. I've seen Clint shoot. His stuff works!
