That is fantastic! Well done. I hope it works well for you.

I'm just glad no one at the store tried to help me. Who knows what would have come out of my mouth before I realized what I was saying. "Well, I'm looking to fit these together so I can fill them with gunpowder. Are you thinking 1 1/4 or 1 1/2?"
Pulled my remaining 51rds of my 308 loads. Holding onto the LC LR brass for now, and about ready to cancel my order with Southwest Ammunition for the Lapua brass. They told me it would ship last week (after a 1wk wait when it was "in stock") and it still hasn't shipped. Calling tomorrow and if it still hasn't shipped, I'm cancelling it and ordering from Midway or Brownells, where I know it's in-stock and will ship out quickly.
Tried to take inventory of what I have, so I know what I need...
Sat there, wanting to use the machines to produce some fun for later shooting.
Slept in and then turned 2,000 pcs of Lake City 5.56 brass into 300 Whisper/Blackout.
Made my first 20 rounds, ever. Pretty exciting stuff. Powder measure seems to work just fine so far.
Congrats! I'm not far ahead of you. I've only produced 81 rounds, and it was mostly in one session. Since then, I've been focusing on prepping all the brass I have sitting around so I can just reload without all the crappy work whenever I have time or feel like it. I think it will make reloading a lot more enjoyable when I am using brass that doesn't need any prep work.
