What did you do in the reloading room today?

Sigh, found a replacement tool for my Lyman Small Primer Pocket Reamer. The Lyman tool is no longer sharp. Barely made it through 250-300 cases before it stopped cutting the brass. Filed a complaint/warranty/ticket with Lyman but I doubt I'll hear back from them.

The replacement is a simple countersink tool with 6 cutting edges. Should be more than perfect for what I need. Granted, this one is still manual though I might be able to find one that I could use in an electric drill.

Also tracking my 1k 55gr FMJ bullets about every 10min. Should be here on monday and I'll get to load up some test loads, then head to the range and test both 9mm and 223. The question is, what range do I test for accuracy on the 223? Is 50yds too close to see a real difference? They'll be shot through an AR with a red dot, though I'll probably use the irons for the testing.

I paper @ 25 then set @ 50. This gives me on again @ 250. I'm not a MOA shooter, just like to know when i point i'm COM. I do like knowing the groups i get (off the bench) are on the money

Thanks jim, so I'd be able to obviously see a difference in groupings even at 50yds? I was thinking about doing that, but it just seems pretty close to me for 223, like testing pistol loads at 3-5yds.
