..to getting ready for the season. Has not been my style in the past, I found myself loading shells the night before a hunt many times.

what's the info on the load(s)?

RSI #132 1 1/8oz #1 @ 1635fps
RSI #88 1 1/16oz #2 @ 1730fps
BPI #60106 985 1oz #4 @ 1400 fps
RSI #105 1oz #3 @ 1595 fps

You use the rsi wads in those?

But no 7.5 loads?! Commie...

Yea, the BPI load is csd100

Looks like a good start for the season.......I would suggest a Ponsness-Warren reloader. http://reloaders.com/

With a PW, two guys can load a case (500 shells) in an hour.

Those are nice presses, but I have a Hornady 366 that I don't use now, plus for $1250, it better come equipped with electric dick massage!

You wouldn't get a damn thing done.

I'd be ok with that.

Nice!

I'm finally done with steel for the year. On to lead . . .

Fun, fun.....has to be a chore loading for more than one.

That loader still running good with steel?

Yeah, it's like butter. I have 14 cases of steel loaded, which I THINK will be enough. It was a lot tougher before I started using the progressive, but it ain't bad at all now. I hand load about 5 cases and run the other 9 or so through the PW.

Todd what's that 1 3/8 load that you pack into a 3" hull?

And how ya been brother? Rice going ok this summer? Farmers are grinning ear to ear here

If I went through that many, plus had target shooting kids, I would definitely have that loader. Have a case of dove and quail ready from last year. With poor pheasant numbers and no trip to MT, a couple boxes should easily tide me over.

Jarbo, do yourself a favor and get the 375 duOmatic

Johnny! Been great. Has been the easiest year in the history of rice farming, thus far. Doesn't mean I won't be in chapter 7 in 3 months, but if I am, I won't be tired. I haven't seen your avatar popping up much, so I'm assuming you've been busy as a 1-legged man in a butt kicking contest.

Remington (yellow base wad), cheddite, or federal 3" hull.
W209
32 grains steel
Mm1275 <or> P.R. TUPRW12
601 gr. shot

It's relatively cheap and and absolute dream, will put a pretty crimp on a brick if you could fit it in the press

Thanks Todd, and your right, have had no less than 6 jobs going all spring, have over 5k square feet of house to build this winter and work scheduled through 2016, it's like someone flipped a switch here

Yeah, I still have 300 lbs of lead shot to load. My oldest has picked up a trap shooting habit. I still load all my 20 gauge stuff on the MEC, but for the 12 I can knock out a case in about 20 minutes.

I'm gonna try that in a fiochi with a 616, what kind of velocity are you averaging?

Good. Get loaded so you can donate to my bankruptcy fund. You coming south this winter?

We start framing a big one in September, if we kick ass on it I'll be able to come down late December early January, if things go slow there is now way. Jr is already packed, he's dying to see how many chicken wings would fit in that fryer of yours lol

1300, +\-

I know that 40 of em is cake.

Say when, I'll clear the bench for ya. If you can't make it, stuff a fifty in his wallet, buy the kid a bus ticket and send him this way. He'll need clothes (and not sissy, Yankee clothes, either . . . I mean clothes sufficient for real winter weather like we have down here in the Natural state). Other than that, I've got a dozen of anything necessary for a week's hunting trip.

He's got a license and a sweet little Tacoma, if your serious I imagine he'd kick the shit out of a pretty serious chore list in trade
