Got this hand press to make it easier to test seating depths at the range.

Will it fit on the bench?

I ran out of bullets. This will give me nightmares.

Bullets or cases? I could come up with 6 FGM cases

let me know how you like those. I’ve got one that likes the lighter stuff I’ve been trying to find a good projectile for.

 

[Pochanaquarhip]

Ordered some sample packs of Blue Bullets.

115gr RN 9mm
125gr Truncated Cone 9mm
180gr RN 10mm

Need to get some 10mm dies ordered soon. Might ask the wife for those for my birthday.

Will do. So far, I did a ladder test stopping at 45 grains of IMR4064. I didn't even feel the slightest crunch. I'm loading long though, but the bullet is short enough I have good case volume with a long extruded powder. I may for grins, load a little higher charge on the ladder. I think I can get to 47ish safely with the data I've seen.

Hoping for an optic this next week so I can start.

Ladder test on my buddies 18" Sig Cross with H4350 didn't give me what I wanted. Speeds were pretty shotty being it's a short barrel. Going to try this again with some StaBALL 6.5. Should give me another 100 FPS.

Is that an RCBS funnel? Got a link?

 

[rockchalk06]

Mine? It's a Frankfort Arsenal kit from Amazon

I became a very happy boy when I ditched the rcbs factory pan for the Lyman funnel/pan. Finger tabs are bigger and it catches runny powders better.

Finished another ladder test for my buddies 6.5 using StaBALL this afternoon.

 

[conditionzero]

Daggon those a purdy.

I like blue. Blue is for boy. Blue is my favorite color. Blue isn’t a girl color just a boy color.

What the fuck are you going on about?

What the fuck are you going on about?

Those blue tipped bullets are boy bullets. Boy bullets hit harder than girl bullets. I like blue bullets. Do you like boy bullets or girl bullets? The blue ones are boy bullets.
