    Rounds that I reload..............

    I used to reload 45/70 and 40S&W, but these are the only ones I reload for anymore (well, except the 22LR and 17 HMR)...........

    I have a couple of Dillon presses. Currently one is set up for .45 ACP and the other for 12 Ga Handicap Trap loads. After a few thousand rounds, I'll switch to 40 S&W / 10MM, or 9MM in the metalic reloader or a 12 Ga Singles load in the shotshell press. Progressives don't allow change very easily. They can be a little stubborn and you have to do it a specific way to keep them happy and productive. But enough about politics, the Dillon units are great!

    The Dillon 550b is set up for .357, 45 ACP and 45 Colt. I loaded up a bunch of 38 spcl and set the dies back to .357. I do my rifle stuff on an RCBS single stage.
    223s are too cheap ($5.97/20 American made AR 223 at wallyworld) and my AR shoots minute of ground scamping critter with them. The 22-250 likes Sierra 52 gr bullets doing just over 3700 FPS but have vaporized dirt dwellers with a 40 gr doing 4018 FPS, but not very accurate. Blew the entire off side of a coyote out into the next county with one, not that the coyote didn't deserve it but geez, how dead does it have to be. The 7-08/7X307 is too long a story, one day I'll go through that tale of woe that turned into a tale of WOW! The push feed, plastic stocked, wallyworld Winchester Model 70 in 300 Win Mag was supposed to be a every once in a while elk gun, a beater rifle. Silly me. It sucked me in with the promise of MOA shooting so I had to have a brake put on it, pillar bedded the stock, threw away the cheap scope that came with it, went to better rings and a Leupold scope and adjusted the trigger down to a reasonable weight with no creep or over travel. Three holes made by 200 grain Bear Claws (the bullet, not the deep fried delight) can be covered with a quarter dollar at 200 yds. If I do my part. That is why I reload, I love cutting clover leafs with bullets from 'way over there'
