Loaded up 100 rounds of primed 30-30 brass that I prepped a couple years ago. Silly me. Also loaded 62 rounds of 30-06. This week will be the decap/ swaging party for surplus 06 brass!

Cleaned, deprimed, trimmed, and deburred about 100 pieces of .223.
trimming is a PITA.
Loaded up for a .260 ladder test.
I have a bunch of lee trimmers and have done 1000's of rounds with them but they are a pain. The options are a few but having tried many the cheapest route is to go for the WFT http://www.littlecrowgunworks.com/wft.html for calibers you load a lot for. I use the lee for 7.62X39, X54r and the trim to make 9X18 from 9X19. .223 and .308 get the WFT that works on the same idea of a Giraud Trimmer that is much more $$$.Quote:

I loaded up the last of my pistol bullets, 400x 9mm. Definitely took a while, and I need to order more!
Also, sorted, cleaned, decapped/sized, and primed another 500x 9mm, 1k .40s&w, 500x .223. Later today I will decap/size about 750x .45acp.
Free brass is fun to pickup at the range after a class, until you realize how much sorting/cleaning you have to do! [LOL]
Cast a new boolit for a .38-55. I absolutely hate breaking in a new mold. I don't care what the box says. Even after wiping it down with rubbing alcohol, it still took a hundred drops or so to start making bullets that look decent.

Working my way through several 5 gallon buckets of 5.56 brass. Turning them into 300 Blackout.
And cleaning guns.

Letting the tumbler do its magic. I need to get some more .223 blaster boolits.
Tumbling some LC brass.
The winds at the range Saturday were brutal. Dirt, dust, tumbleweeds were everywhere.Quote:

Understood. I was going to go shooting, but decided to be a candyass and work in the garage because of wind. It never gets windy in real life, so why should I practice that way? [Coffee]Quote:

Loaded up a couple thousand 9x19s and 700-ish 45 GAP.
I loaded up some 45 gap a couple weeks ago. What was your load? And bought Carey's Dillon 550 press today.Quote:

Prepped some .308 brass for a shoot out with my boss. He says that he (and his new (factory) DPMS) is more accurate than me with my factory LaRue. We are using the same scope and the same ammo.
Seeing as one of his previous jobs included time with the AMU, I may be in for a bit of a fight.
Loaded up a few hundred 223 on the new to me dillon rl550. I think I need a new bullet seating die. The lee die seems to not seat very accuate till u do about 50 rds. Then it nails it. But if I get some new heads and leave it set up.....
Little bit of .357 mag... 100 .308's. Finally changed the Stihl calendar to the December girl...
I reorganized all my reloading supplies and live ammo. Now its time to trim up some 300blkout brass.
Loaded up some shotgun rounds.
Yeah cleaned a bunch of .40 and 9mm brass so I can prep it and load up some blaster ammo
deprimed 2000 5.56 military brass. Now need to swage and then convert to 300 Blackout.
Roger
tumbled about 300 rounds of 9mm range brass a friend gave me.
Few boxes of bullets and some brass ready for a snowy day. (not a cold day though) ugh.
Spleify came over and we spent the day building a nice big new bench in my reloading room. Its an "L" shaped bench, just under 12 feet long, 2 feet deep and 37" high, and has a 4 foot "L" through one corner. A second lower shelf goes the full length.
I still have to paint it, mount up my presses, and then I can give her a run. I also have a total of three - 3 foot wall hang power strips to mount up and distribute power wherever I need on the bench.

Prepped about 200 pcs of .308 brass. Loaded up 45 rounds of .260.
Im still having problems getting a load that will reliably cycle my LMT MWS. I've tried 43.0, 43.5, and 44.0 gr of Hodgdon 4350. I'm not seeing any pressure signs, so up and up I go!
Cast about 400 .358 DEWC and some .452 LRN. Then my fingers go cold.
not one thing. too busy staying warm. -8 outside and the shop was 36*. I could turn the heat on by why bother? There's nothing pressing i need to load, till TOMORROW.
Turned 100 pieces of 223 brass into 300 BLK brass.
