What did you do in the reloading room today?

That bucket is.. a real accomplishment. Wow. I was proud of my couple 8 pound powder jugs of dead primers here. I'm 3D printing out a primer chute to direct mine downward now.

I upped my case lube regimen, which has helped with the force required. I plan to try a Lee die off my old press, because I've never had primer get sucked back in, and the force seems lower to me.

In 9mm: I will have to research who has the shortest 147gr coated bullet, or switch to 124gr - my brass "herd" now has a large quantity of thick-walled and internally-stepped casings. Blue and Bayou 147gr bullets bulge out the walls, leading to chambering failures, even at 1.160" OAL, which is about as long as I can go and still assure reliable feeding in my mags.

Oddly enough a 223 case with the base cut off fits that spent primer hole snug, with a tap of a soft hammer, enough it will never fall out. Mine had 100K on it and the oly time that case was out of there was for 10K pm's

Try Hornady One Shot. You will be amazed how much easier it is. Trust me.

Absolutely.

While not a fan of 1 shot for rifle, It's a great lube for pistol brass. Spray on, size & load. There's none of that light film you get with dillon case lube, or the home made stuff.
