    I did another 600 rounds of 9mm on the lee 6pp this night. Ammo cans are filling up nicely.

    The Blue Bandwagon is now tuned for 165gr 10mm projectiles. Tomorrow I will tune the powder charge and start pumping out warm/sorta hot plinkers.
    I prefer my 10mm and .357 Sig to be true to the caliber's intent; not that of the major company's lawyer requests. If I wanted to shoot mild 10mm, I would have bought a .40S&W and well, you know.

    I have the shakes, getting worse as I get older

    24.5gr Benchmark from this article


    CCI450 and no crimp

    Older (2012) Savage Varmint 1:9, came with a basic bushnell 3-9x 40mm

    I’m not saying it’s great, but it’s great for me.. :D
    IMO, shooting a group like that with a 9x scope is harder than doing it with a more powerful optic because it’s harder to exactly repeat your point of aim at 100 yards.

    It would be interesting to see what you could do with that loading and rifle with a 25x optic.

    .460 S&W.

    250 grain Hornady XTP with 15 grains of Unique. My little H&R handi-rifle loves these rounds.

    No wear and tear on me or the action.

    Setup the casting pot and poured about 150 .310/225gr RNs for the 300BO to be coated and loaded after they rest a bit.

    I go back to work on Thursday (after 4+ months of injury) and am going out with a reloading bench "bang".
    I am now out of .357 Sig projectiles and out of 10mm brass. My ammo cans are almost 4500rds fuller.
    I learned my "Tennis Elbow" lesson after borrowing my buddy's XL750 and loading ~14,000rds of 9mm in a week. My new rule is loading a max of 500rpd.
