    I was straightening up my cabinets last week and found an entire 1000 count box of Berry's 115 gr. plated round nose bullets I had forgotten about. I had pretty much made up my mind that I was done loading 9mm since my new job was taking up more of my time, but I guess I was wrong about that.

    Pressing out some 223 today and encountered a little extra resistance on the resizing step with one case. Ran it through and noticed it seemed long. Checked the stamp and guess what...204 Ruger slipped through. Trimmed to length, measured everything against a 223 case and seems within spec.

    Made up 4 variations of 380acp to test out last week. Got to the range today and the wifes new ez shield ate them all but as far as accuracy goes the winner using extreme 100gr rnfp was the full power loads. 3.0gr of titegroup at a oal of .975

    I had loaded up 10 rounds each:
    2.7gr titegroup at .955oal
    2.8gr titegroup at .955oal
    2.9gr titegroup at .965oal
    3.0gr titegroup at .975oal

    Was playing around with the oal beacuse theres really no load data in my books on the 100gr extreme flat points.

    Time to make 460 rounds at the 3.0gr powder and oal of .975. Was able to put a nice group together at those specs at 10 yards, so im gonna run with it

    I recently had the same thing happen. I don’t know how it slipped in or where it came from as I don’t have a 204.

    Just finished my first two groups of reloads ever:

    30-06 - 165 gr soft point bullet
    Shot the first 20 of 40. Got decent groups; I was nervous as all get out and shot 1.5 - 2 inch groups at 100 yds. I had a front rest but no back rest. I think I can get that closer to 1 inch with a back rest.

    30-30 - 160 gr ftx bullett (levereveolution duplicate)
    haven't shot this yet

    Not exciting, but I loaded some 77 gr 5.56mmx45 loads today. It's been a while since I've done any loading, so that was the exciting part, to me anyway. I might even do another 100 tomorrow.

    Tested the new 32-20s today, these 115 grain cast bullets are being run through a modified Lee push through sizer at .312 and using Alox lube. No chambering issues with the Bisley like I was having at .314. We'll see how it does on paper tomorrow.

    Just got my Marlin 30-30. I'll be ordering the dies to reload for it and a set of 260 dies tomorrow. Time to start gathering some initial load data.

    Decapping and sizing 8k 9mm to wet tumble for primer pockets and have a long supply of smoother running press. Ohhhh my arm. Another week of small sessions to go.

    I loaded 100 rounds of 44-40 WCF, yesterday. I had almost forgotten how finicky they can be with their thin case mouths.

    This morning, I loaded 100 rounds of .45 Colt (Ruger/Contender only ) loads for hunting in my Rossi 1892
    240 grain hard cast truncated cone bullets over Winchester 540 (HS 6) powder. Pushing them out at 1,275 fps
