Thats kind of a contradiction. If you won the lottery you wouldn't have to work so you would have plenty of time to enjoy hobbies. Like reloading.Quote:

Took my Harevy deprimer for a test drive on a bunch of .223 and 45 ACP brass. Works good.
Deprimed 223 cases until I got a stuck case from hell. I stripped the threads on it with the case remover. After that frustration I used the Dillon swager to swage the ones that I did get deprimed. I am going to try and remove it tonight.
Built another shelf and tied some storage cabinets to the wall. One of these days I am actually going to pull the handle a little.

Broke my 1st de-priming pin. Yay!
Rookie mistake...

Resized 120, 300 rum cases
More depriming. Like eating pistachios

After turning some oversized boolits with some bore bright, I boiled the block, cleaned it with rubbing alcohol, and it still took about 100 drops to get pretty boolits again.
Damn you, Lee!!!!

Put in a new door. Had to do some reframing of the doorway. Load bearing wall was 3" off plumb
Banged out 200 rounds of 223 and stuffed them in Pmags. Need to buy some more 50rd MTM boxes to finish up the rest of the brass for storage.
Three guesses what I did. Yes, deprimed. I'm starting to think I'm like Bobby and will never get through with the prep. Actually realized that depriming LPP with the Harvey deprimer is much faster than SPP. Flying through 45 ACP and 454 Casull until I hit one of those SPP 45 ACP brass.
.308, Hornady 168gr BTHP, 42 grains Reloader 15.

Excellent load. One of my favorites for my 700 AAC-SD.
Sonic cleaned my .260 brass. They sure look prettier.
Built some shelves, working on some 9mm gold dot loads. Need more shelves but can't find any more brackets... Too cheap to go buy some. Gonna start some 357mag loads & forget the shelves for now.

Today? not a damn thing
Yesterday 300 125gr berrys RNFP 38's , trimmed 250 223 brass, swagged 250 223's . Now have the giraud inside so i might crank out another 2-300 pcs of 223 tonight.
Loaded 50 of my cast .357 mags. Hurt my shoulder patting myself on the back after realizing I had about $2 into it. Walked away.
Finally pulled the handle a little today. Loaded up 32 rds of 44 mag. Why only 32 you ask? That is all the brass I have till my order comes in. Who knows when that will be.
I sent four hours teaching three newbs how to set up and run their brand new Dillon 650. I hope they were paying attention. Today confirmed for me that beginners should not try to learn on a progressive.
I called Sportsman's Warehouse - still no powder.
Finally got my backordered Forster Ultra micrometer die set in from Midway. Beautiful stuff. FullLength sized one piece of 300 Blackout brass just for kicks. Nice, tight shoulder and perfect size. Will start load development this Saturday.
decapped, sized, belled, and primed 200 or so pieces of 9mm brass ready for some 115 or 124gr plated round nose, loaded 50 124gr XTP 9mm's over some Clays
Finished off the last of my berry's 125 38 loads.
Take a turn at some 158 swc's tomorrow before a range trip. Might finish off the 200 primed 357's i acquired as part of a reloading package from 5 years ago. . I figured those loads will have cost around $9. The only thing missing was the primers;)
Ran about 500 rounds of 223 on the Dillon. God I love that press.
And those $90/1000 Armscore 55 Gr bullets seemed to be just fine, all seated well and canalure landed in the same spot on all of them. Now I just kinda wish I'd have bought more of them.
Amen, brother.Quote:

While I was away I discovered the need for a case trimmer, primer pocket reamer for my .223 brass. I thought that maybe I could reload my brass once without trimming. I was wrong.
On the bright side My DPMS loves some 168SMK/Varget.
Who have no mechanical skills or knowledge. There's a learning curve with progressives. Either you catch on and pay attention, or you don'tQuote:

Loaded about 300 9mm 124gr and hand primed another 300 brass for the next go around.
Prepped 900 pieces of 9 , belled and primed . Loaded 300 with 124 Berry's and Power Pistol
I processed about 7,000 pcs of 300 Whisper/Blackout brass this week and finished up sizing the last of my .312 dia bullets down to .3085 for use in my Whispers.
