Great day for the loading bench.

Hazy hot and humid, my kind of day to stay in the nice cool dry air of the house and load ammo. Have a few hundred Lapua .308 cases all prepped and primed so now is the fun part, watching the range box fill as the cases are charged and bullets seated. Will be loading 150 flat base custom bullets over 43.5 gn of Varget. Whatta Hobby!

Hey Art, with all that ammo you have I am willing to come there and help you test it out. Especially the .308 as I don't have one of those shooters.

Folks are always welcome here. I can supply both the ammo and weaponry for the interested.Lots of .308s just lying around all over the place. Whatta Hobby!

Back loading today. Couple hundred Lapua .308 cases that were primed a few days ago and a couple hundred surplus berdan ,308 that have been primed for a couple of weeks. Loading all with the same 150 gn flat base bullets and 43.5 gn of Varget. Seems to work very well in both bolt rifle and the M14 types. Whatta Hobby!

Finished prep on the .308 from yesterday. This morning started a batch of 500 6.5 Creedmoor mostly once fired, by me, Lapua sr primed brass. All sized and in the wet tumble with ss pins, lemishine and dawn. Then a rinse and into the Frankford Arsenal dryer before trimming on the Giraud trimmer. Whatta Hobby!

Still breaking in the X-Caliber .308 barrel. This was this morning under perfect conditions with a cold clean bore. 10 rnds at 100 yds. Have been working at getting the sd down under 10 this was right at 7.9 so things are looking correct for Lapua brass,BR-4 sr primers and 43.5 gn Varget for 2700 fps. Also posted under scoped rifles. Whatta Hobby!
