What have you reloaded today?

Some people have all the fun. I'm here chained to a desk and computer.

I work 4on/4off right now. Have the grandboys later today for the entire weekend so I will be limited as to what I can do then. I keep telling the wife I need to retire and for her to think about it to, so we have more time off to do things.

Quick update on 9mm 124 gr 3.8gr Titegroup loads. Sig full size Tac Ops like the 3.8 rounds. The Kimber liked them most of the time. Had a couple of times it didn't lock back with muzzle device on last round. Take muzzle device off and it was happy. Neither gun would lock back consistently with the 3.6gr Titegroup rounds. Kimber feels like its recoil spring is a little heavier also and could be the issue.

I was able to get to the range today. 11.7gr of AA#9 behind a 200gr acme resulted in a 10 shot average of 1149fps. SD of 2. A high of 1151 and a low of 1147. I’m very happy with these results.

That's my standard load for all my 9mm's. 124gr, 3.8grTG, OAL at 1.125 regardless of bullet profile. Works in all my guns to include PCC's and doesn't bind up in happy sticks.

I just loaded up 300 more with 3.8 TG. I actually like it better than 3.6 TG as it is easier to visually see in the casing and a double charge is almost to the top and very easy to spot. I guess I need to get shooting as I have about 1500 loaded with 3.6TG that are just begging to be reloaded.

I just did another 300 rounds of 9mm with 124 and 3.8TG. Time to hit the range and have some fun.

I'm on the bottom rung of the ladder right now. Shooting factory standard 115 and 124 ammo has a noticeability stronger recoil impulse.

So in other words, you still don’t know what kind of numbers you are getting from your reloads. Do you have a chronograph?

No chrono at this time. .3 grains below max listed charge. I guess I need to grab a chrono one of these days before I start doing rifle. The primers look fine and the reloads are not as hot as factory 124 that I still have when shot back to back. Any suggestions on a doppler type chrono?

You can snag a Labradar which I have for cheap now, lots of people are selling them cheap to get the new Garmin Xero. Reloading and a chronograph go hand in hand. It’s good to see the numbers for yourself, so you can really tune your loads. Don’t always trust what you read and hear.
