Re: What Handgun Reloading Did You Do Today?
I love that feeling of shooting my reloads. I load 9mm, for me, it's a weekly process. I only load 100 at a time for the range on Sundays. I wet tumble my spent casings from Sunday Shooting. I let them dry for a couple of days. I deprime the on Wed or Thurs and on Saturday's I load em up. I love it! FYI, I'm very new to this, I just bought my first gun ever in my life in June 2020. Reloading is the hobby I was looking for. Very Rewarding:)

I loaded 100 rounds last night on my Lee Value Turret with the Auto drum.
5.1 grains CFE Pistol powder/ CCI 500 Primers / 124 Gr. Copper Plated HP / OAL 1.080
But OAL varies from various cartridges.

Re: What Handgun Reloading Did You Do Today?
I reloaded 96 rounds of 45acp on my Load Master. with Hornady XTP 200 gn. I have 2 cartridges that I messed up on and have to pull the bullets. The other 2 I have no earthly idea where they are. At the price of these things it is driving me crazy trying to figure out where those two little buggers went to. I guess I will figure it out, sometime I am sure they will jump out and say surprise here we are.

100 rounds of 9mm on my Breech Lock Challenger.
Berry's 124gr non-HB plated bullet on top of 4.1 grains of HP-38 in a range pick up Federal case with Federal small pistol primer.
Did 10 test rounds about a week ago and they did well out of my S&W SW1911.
I think this will be "my" load. But, I do have 100 Hornady 147gr XTP bullets I'm going to have to do something with.

If you have some AA7 powder load those xtp's over 6.5gr with an OAL 1.15. That's 2 tenths UNDER max and shoots very well. Start is at 6.0 so you have some room to work.

Re: What Handgun Reloading Did You Do Today?
Is it inappropriate to ask about your load data recipes? I'm very interested to hear about your Powder and OAL details. If so, Sorry.
Thank you for any advice!
