Kept working on my bathroom. :( eyed my components wistfully. I'm happy that winter is coming. Maybe I'll find some time to do some loading and shooting.

Gave myself a bunch of blisters trying to salvage a bunch of the 2K Pieces of LC brass I just got from Weidners. It looks like they ran a tank down the range before picking up the brass. I'll be lucky if I get 1500 usable pieces out of the 2K.
Not going to make that mistake again [Mad]
I don't hate.... plus I only load 20-30 at a time. you can spare 30.Quote:

850 rounds of 9mm. Thanks Jim
Three times around the wheel's worth of .357 mag. Just testing a load one step down from total ass-kickery for S&G.
Another 20 rds of Sub-Sonic 223. Just need to get motivated for the range. Did you know, not counting OOPS (missed primer, spills) you can average 2300 rds of 223 subs from 1lb of TG [LOL]

Good Lord, get this man his Cheap Reloading Bastard badge... STAT!

Well, it looks like I loaded my .308 rounds a little hotter than I wanted to. I was going for something around 2600fps. As it turns out, I out a little too much spice in the case.
just a little too much, seriosuly. I needed to load it up to about 42-42.5 gr, but I started at 44. Nothing too bad, no over pressure signs like exploding barrels or popped primers or anything.
ill get it figured out.
You might deprime a few and try seating some fresh primers just to make sure you didn't stretch the pockets. Ask me how I know...

Sorted brass and loaded 300 BLK.
Resized 100 pc of 223 into 300BLK.
processed 200 223's. loaded 500 223's.
Loaded up 50 AA hulls with 209 primers, red dot powder and some reclaimed 7 1/2 shot. Gotta shoot some to make sure it will cycle my SBE2.
some 45 goodness.
Produced more empty brass!
Hmmm got my 223 brass prepped, primed and ready to crank out a couple of test loads for my range trip this week.
25.5 grains of Varget with a 55 grain FMJ-BT, should be a good plinker/blaster recipe from what I have read.
Wednesday 390 rounds of 5.56, Hornady v-max pushed by 24.3 IMR 4895.
Friday 550 rounds of 45 ACP 185 gr RN OVER 5.3 gr Win 231.
Now I need something to shoot.
I bought a Lee Classic Turret Press. Now I need to decide where to mount it on my bench. My bench is 8ft long with a wall on both ends. I don't want it in the middle, but it seems since I'm right handed, it should go on the right side somewhere.
HB, did you read my comment in the PWT?
I think I put mine about 1/3 from the far right of my bench (which is only 5-6ft long). Perfect location, I can still put stuff on the right side of it and it keeps the full left side open enough for powder, bullets, etc.
At some point you will move your press, so pick a place that works for you, mount it to a piece of plywood or another base and use some c clamps to hold it in place. Once you find the place that works best, you can make it more permanent. Eventually you will want a mount that brings your press up to a good working height.I just got an Ultramount from inlinefabrication.com for my Dillon 550B. They make a mount for the Lee turret - http://inlinefabrication.com/collections/lee/products/lee-classic-turret
Dan at inlinefabrication.com made the whole process painless. Send him an email and tell him what you want and he will send you an invoice. Shipping was fast and everything that was needed was included.
See you went blue. The 550 is a nice unitQuote:
