Reloading

I sure have enjoyed the reloading game.  Each round is a work of art.  With a single stage press, hand primer, and a liquid cleaning solution, I can load about 100 rounds an hour spread over two days.  Day one is deprime, clean and size.  Day two is prime, load, and seat.  Now that I've got a chrono (PACT Mark IV), it's easy to find loads that shoot very accurately.

For my 7.62 NATO, I've standardized on 168 grain loads.  43grains of Varget makes for an awesome mid-power load (2588fps) that makes one 7.62 hole over a 5 round group.

For 5.56 NATO, I'm still in the hunt, but a 55gr bullet over 21 grains of H322 is bringing in great accuracy, but mediocre velocity (2550fps).  24grs of H322 isn't bringing great accuracy, but has the velocity I'm looking for (2800fps).

For 9mm, I'm not super thrilled with my accuracy, but I've found that 5.6grs of Unique under any 115gr bullet delivers 1100 fps very reliably.
