Loaded some .45 for the SSV class next weekend. Managed to get around 200 rounds done this am before work.

I looked at all the different calibers of brass I need to process, so I decided to drink beer instead. There's always tomorrow. [Coffee]

I had recurrent ground school yesterday and today for my second job. For airline pilots, recurrent ground school is roughly the equivalent of a two day sustained trip to the dentist.

In celebration of being released 90 minutes early today along with making it back home from Denver unscathed, I loaded up 100 rounds of .223 with H322 powder and Nosler 40gr varmint projectiles. For some reason making ammo relaxes me...

Shooting ammo relaxes me more.

Shooting when there's not 2" of mud at the range , is even better.

Emotions during this reloading session:[facepalm]and then [Bang]

Broke the decapping pins on both my Lee Universal Decapping Die (purchased 2/21/2014) and Lee Pacesetter Full Length sizing/decapping dies (purchased 5/14/2013) with a single piece of Lake City M193 5.56 brass. Looking into the brass, there is nothing blocking the flash hole. Submitted warranty replacement with Lee already, hope they ship replacement pins to me soon.

There's some tough crimped primer pockets. For this RG mil crimp , i have to use my dillon decapper instead of the lee. The dillon punches them out, where as the lee just rises up in the die.

"I had recurrent ground school yesterday and today for my second job. For airline pilots, recurrent ground school is roughly the equivalent of a two day sustained trip to the dentist. "

Jenny takes exception to that!!!

As to the decapping pins, are you sure the case was centered in the shellplate/holder? I've gotten crud in the way before which held out the case slightly off center.
