As the title says, new caliber for me in reloading.
I'd asked about using Berry's 150 grain flat nosed bullets a few weeks ago, got the "okay" from the collective, so that's what I used.... along with IMR 4320 powder and CCI Large Rifle (#200) primers. Die set (Lee) I'd ordered came in a few days ago (to include a factory crimp die), so figured I get them set up and do the deed…. working on a batch I shot up a couple of weeks ago.
FWIW - I always get a new turret when I get a new die set. Once I have them set up I don't have to go through the whole set-up process again; makes life a whole lot easier. I also found out that Lee has die/turret holders available, so went ahead and got a few of those to keep the assembled dies/turrets out of the crud out here in the garage. Until that time, I was going to try and make some holders up out of PVC, but that's not necessary now.
Reloaded rounds:
Turret/die holders:
Once this crappy weather clears up, we'll head to the range and see how they do. In the interim, trust ya'll have a nice, safe Thanksgiving.
