Headed down right now to run a couple hundred .357sig. Forgot how much I love to shoot that....
Tumbled at least a couple hundred .223/5.56 cases and sorted out the LC headstamps. Now I have to actually de-prime and continue prep on them. I have a huge pile of the stuff now, so at some point, I'm going to have to actually prime and maybe even put some powder and bullets into these cases. They aren't any good to shoot until that happens, right?
Processed about 100 pcs of 30-30 and Bn coated 2,000 Sierra 55 Blitzkings.
Figured out that in order for 124gr flat point 9mm rounds to pass the plunk test, I have to load them to 1.069 OAL, which is a far cry from the 1.163 max. Little nervous about that, but I looked it up and other people have come to the same conclusion. This is for my CZ 75B.
Also, I totally stole another member's decorating idea.

Could not sleep well after 3:00 or so this morning.
Loaded up 350 rounds of 338 Lapua with Berger 300s and Retumbo and a bunch of 6 Grendel.
Headed to the range. Going to verify zeros out past a grand.
Loaded up the rest of my 5.56 brass and enjoyed my new garage speakers.
Its a good pistol round, fast and flat. I am glad I don't have to pay for it or reload it. If you want some nickel plated once fired .357 SIG brass, hit me up. I bag it but don't have any use for it.Quote:

It still dropped right into the case gauge.
