total 500...
Attachment 56801
I prepped about 1000 rounds of 556.... but more importantly I came to a realization.
I want a 1050.
No. I'm buying a 1050.
Fuck it. There the 1050 is bought.
Soooooo.. anyone want a 650 with all the trimmings in 223 and 308 with a super swager and dillon trimmer. I'll have an ad up in the for sale section in a few.
asmo... I am interested in the 650. PM me with details and price.

Nope, bulk 55s are typically 1-2MOA. I can take the exact same load with Win, Xtreme, even Hornady 55 FMJs and replace the bullet with a Nosler BT and cut the group size in half or better.
Thanks! [Beer]Quote:

It's longer than a head of lettuce.

Nosler is good stuff! My favorite bullet manufacturer...
We talkin' Romaine, Bib, or what?
Seriously, tonight, I set up my newly arrived Dillon Super Swager on the bench, oh, wait, Fed Ex changed the delivery date from today, to tomorrow. Never mind. Fedex just put the "common" in common carrier.

About half way done resizing 500 85 gn .312 Hornady XTPs down to .3085 for use in 30 Carbine and 300 Whisper. Might finish up the other half tonight.
Loaded 500 rounds of 40 s&w and 250 380. My largest batches yet
I got the new swager set up. And I "semi-auto-ed" it. Sweeet. I also mostly ran out of powder. Now I have a "little bit" of RL15, 748, and N135. Also running out of .224 bullets.
Update, I got two pounds of N135 today to get me through, and 200 Hornady 55gr V-max. That gives me some buffer to keep stopping by all the shops between Ft. Collins and Colorado Springs.
Somewhere, in this huge world, there is an 8lb jug of 748. I will find it.
I have some 748. Not 8lbs mind you, but a couple 2-3 and they'e only for trade for the same of aa1680 at this time. :DQuote:

Expand your options to TAC, 2230, H335 and benchmark.Quote:

Working on getting the 2K of noslers loaded up.
Ha!!! Scoooooooore! 8lb jug of TAC in Cheyenne at Sportsmen's Whorehouse. Picked up some more boolits too.
Wow, I totally didn't realize I said that.
"but I'd rather have a couple of big jugs"
And done with the Nosler 55gr Varmit. Now to the Hornady's.
Chamfered and neck sized 300 pieces of 6x47 then primed 100 of prep for Shoot for the Green match next weekend
Cleaned the press prepped more brass.
I'll be one of your ROs... You're welcome.Quote:

Put then new Inline Fab stuff on the presses. Lights and roller handle on the LNL AP, and light on the 366.
Now, for the rest of the story...new handle necessitated moving the LNL to the left some. That required that I remount my Circlelight Magnifier. You know the drill. There's no "one-step" improvements in this game.
Installed and learning the pro 2000.
Finished loading all my .357 brass. Now I have to shoot something so I can load some more.
tumbled and sorted a bunch of brass from the last couple matches. ya know, the usual....
Woke up way too early and could not get back to sleep.
So I loaded up about 400 rounds of 243 with H-1000 and 115gn DTACs.
Then decided to load up a buttload of 9x19 for revolver and machine gun fun.
Stared longingly at the bench for about 10 seconds this morning on my way out the door. This whole work thing is really digging into my man cave time...
Should be loading a few .223's tonight and I think a Yeti is coming over to cast some .44's.
