I finished loading the last 100 rounds of .357 Magnum this evening. After I cleared the press of powder and primers, I converted everything over to 9mm in preparation for a 200 round production run. I will probably get at least 100 done this coming Wednesday night. My current 9mm recipe is Winchester Brass, Berry's 115 gr copper plated round nose bullets, 4.3 grains of Bullseye powder, and Winchester Magnum Small Pistol primers. This load took a little experimentation to operate the action reliably without making it screaming hot. It chronographs out to an average of 1096 fps muzzle velocity. I will try to get over to Cabela's to see if I can get another 100 round cartridge case to house some more .38 Special and then load another 100.
Hopefully "the winter that never was" continues, meaning a range outing will be forthcoming soon.
