Shop Time!

Post by JimT »

No. Not "shopping"! Time in the shop. Loading some ammo. Loaded some .22's .... testing heavier charge of Bullseye.

The first I loaded the 38 gr. cast HP with 2.0 gr. Bullseye

Then I loaded the 40 gr. cast FN and decided to stick with the 2.0 gr. Bullseye charge.

These should be fairly stout.They are .5 gr. heavier than I have been loading. The 1.5 gr. load with the 40 gr. bullet did in the middle 1100's.

Last today I loaded some .357 Magnums. Using the Keith heavy SWC over 14.5 gr. 2400. This has been a favorite load for 60 years and has worked well for me.

I believe this is the Saeco mold.

It was rainy this AM and a quiet morning in the shop doing one of my favorite pass-times was pleasant.

Sounds like a lovely day in the shop. Looking forward to the results you get with the 2 gr Bullseye.

On my trip, I made a detour to see Bobby Tyler and I dropped off a couple of guns. I also gave him a double handfull of that .357 load to set the sights on my Flattop.
