I stopped by Glenns in North Reading yesterday and grabbed 100 Hornady 110 gr 30 cal bullets so I can load up the last of my 30 carbine brass. At some point I might even try them in 30-30...

What did you do in the reloading room recently?

The brown truck santa claus dropped two more of these yesterday. These are a great case for the price,
Very well made, well padded, has shoulder straps, mag pockets, separate large pouch for other stuff. For $50.00 they are a great buy.

It's Remington military stuff but I've decided that I'm going to hang onto it. Sorry.

What brand cases are they?
$50 seems reasonable.

Sorry, should have included that......Palmetto State Armory.
Don't mean to derail this thread too much but I just looked at the powder prices from a south shore gun shop in the dealer classifieds. JFC.
I know prices on components are have gone up and are going to go up more but holy crap.
I mean yeah at least it's available to buy but damn...

Going to sell off my stash of HP-38, $50 a pound? Am I reading that correctly?

Nuts, I haven't been paying that for HP-38 or W231. Very recent order, including hazmat and shipping was $32.03 per 1 pounder for W231 (total of 5 containers of powder in that box).

I was loading up some more .45 colt and decided to load a few of the 250gr XTP bullets I have.
I really like how my cast 250gr RNFP shoot at 1,000 fps.
Anyone know how slow I can push a Hornady XTP and still get expansion? I looked at the site and couldn't find the info. They seem pretty soft.

Buy some gel from clear ballistics and play around.
Super fun and you will learn a ton.

Loaded up 10 rounds of .308 using large pistol primers for giggles. No problems, accuracy was good, and no light primer strikes.

Do you need LR primers?
Define “need” lol
I have some. Some is never enough. Thanks to a friend, a few LPP were available recently. Text me, we can talk.
I did this bc I was more curious than desperate.
Did they seat deep? Supposedly LRP are slightly taller. Any pierced primers (which I think is the other issue)?
Sized, primed and belled 300 .45acp this evening. Bullets supposedly arriving Monday.

I am the last person to define the term "need", especially "want vs need". The absolute wrong person.
I have extra. Have to do some things with the woman in the morning, shoot you a text after. She gets pissed if I pull out the phone at church. I always figure if a lightning bolt from jesus doesn't get me on entry, I should be good to use my phone. She thinks otherwise.
Yesterday I loaded the last of my 30 carbine brass followed by a bunch of 44 mag to finish off the last of my H110. I only have a handful of 44 mag brass left but I think I’ll load them with 2400. I’ve never tried 2400 in 44 mag, just 357. I’m sure it will make for some slightly softer shooting in the desert eagle
Pretty sure I have 30 carbine brass downstairs. Idk how much. I have dies too... never set them up, don’t shoot the carbines much.
I’m probably good on brass. I think I have like 1200 rounds loaded lol. And like you I don’t shoot mine very often. If it gets out to the range 1-2 times per year that’s a lot.
I did something incredibly stupid last night when I was reloading 44 mag. Never done this before. I think I was tired or something
Anyway, I somehow managed to place a bullet on the case that was about to be charged with powder...needless to say I spilled a bunch of H110 all over the press and my floor. It hurt seeing all that powder go to waste

Damnit!
Set up for .223 for the first time this morning, got a bit excited and skipped all instructions and thought and learned my lesson by having to remove parts from inside brass.
Deprimed the rest correctly though

Is that the bullet?
Loaded up some 30-30 with the zombie green bullets and Trailboss. They look like crayons
