tumbling 223 brass, got 400 rds 158gr lswc 38 spl. out of the way. Possibly another 1K brass today along with 4-500 38 spl. to finish out the lead sitting here.

Took down all the fluorescent lights and replaced them with the LED's the wife bought me for Valentine's Day.
The great semi-annual reloading binge has begun, have 5000 pieces of brass to process and have made it through around 1200 so far. I wish I could justify a progressive but I do not reload frequently enough. I can make them look good though.
Now I just need to decide if I want to load as a plinker round, a jack of all trades round, or load it all for my high power competition rifle......

5k rounds doesn't justify a progressive press ? In 2-3 years you'll rethink that, you owe it to yourself to upgrade. Think of it as an early retirement gift, very early giftOriginally Posted by USMC88-93

It is the frequency of my reloading that can not justify it financially. Would it be great sure, but I could just as easily reload with a little more frequency on my single stage and not have a mountain of brass to go through.
That and in order of precidence competiting for my "fun cash" the progressive is a distant third behind a KOWA TSN-883 and a PVS-14.... I will get there some day. Maybe when I can justify it medically due to carpal tunnel.

5000 rounds on a good progressive is an easy days work with an hour lunch! Go for it and don't look back.The great semi-annual reloading binge has begun, have 5000 pieces of brass to process and have made it through around 1200 so far.

The time it took you to get this far would have got you loaded ammo with a Dillon 550. A 1050 would have cranked out about 2-3 times that much ammo. Less time at the bench means more time at the range.
You know I like my coffee sweet in the morning
and I'm crazy about my tea at night
See one of you guys with a Dillon is supposed to say come on down, we will crank them out and I will show you how its done and talk you into one and make it a social hour or two.... I am not loosing any time at the range since I am going in spurts after work. If nothing else it is keeping me away from the television in the evening.
I will have 5000 loadable cases shortly perhaps I will talk one of you into some Dillion education when I decide on powder and bullet.
You are welcome to use my 650 to assemble your components.
