It sure is nice getting one round per pull rather than every 4th pull. Made another 225 or so last night. Still need work on priming - I got about 8 high primers and 3 sideways primers out of that batch. I also need more bell on the case mouth.

Last week a fellow 3-Gun shooter drop off a couple 5 gallon buckets of 223 brass to be cleaned and processed. With the crappy weather I had no excuse why I could not get it done and get him reloading again.
A little more brass processing...

it never ends, does it?
I finally actually loaded something in my newly remodeled loading room. 200 rounds of .260 isn't much of an accomplishment, but it's a start. The biggest hassle was finding everything.
Trying to settle on a 125gr load for the 38spl, so #1 son can get more confident with the revolver. Created this chart based on Speer13 and Hodgon2016 annual. This is for Win 231

I'm using a plated bullet so I think I will go with 4.2 gr per a recommendation from an old ICORE guy. This was the load he said to use for steel challenge.
Primed 100 cases for Raton this weekend. Will throw powder and stuff bullets tomorrow evening.
Looked up data for cfe223 and the ar10. So, do I need to load way down or buy an adjustable gas block. I tried my bolt loads 43.1 grains of h4895, 168 hpbt and fgmm in federal brass and it blew primers and had huge ejector stamps. Not good. I have a bunch of cfe and would like to head that way, but the internet is spoiling me. 😳
