Sunday was a good day. Loaded aprox 220 pcs. of .223. Went a little smoother this time and only had 7 pcs. to rework. Set up press for 7.62x40 and that went really well. Putting 150 grn. 308 bullets on top of the case is a whole lot easier! Ran the powder hopper dry after 325 cartridges. Time for a powder run today.

Got my Brownell's order of a couple different .44 mag bullets to try out. I loaded up 30 to try out for groups and velocity.
I also got my new chronograph from Amazon, so if the weather cooperates today, I should be able to get some load testing done. |

Went home on leave and helped my cousin set up his 650, add Inline Fabrication light kit and get his dies tuned. Also got his Inline Fabrication quick change mount bolted to his bench.
After that was all done, made 1200 rounds of 55 grain 223 for plinking. Got all the brass I shot while on leave tumbled and plan to get it all reloaded this week while the wife is in Florida. |

Bought my second Square Deal B, this one in 45ACP.
I couldn't be happier with the 9mm version. It's absolutely hassle free and since I'm buying them used they don't cost that much more than a full conversion for a 650. This will probably be the last SDB. I have very little interest in expanding my calibers. |

Swapped my 1050 over to 5.56, so I can finish off a load of brass that has been in need of processing. Labeled some buckets of brass, ordered a powder hopper from UniqueTek, and generally thought about reloading a lot.

I have very little interest in expanding my calibers. In my experience, once you have two, you will find a third one someone is selling at a severe discount. Buy it immediately. Use them all for a couple years, sell for a profit, and buy a complete 650 with quick change kits. I can see this in my ball made of crystal.

UPS brought my Forster Co Ax, so I started setting that up and messing around with it. Sized a few 5.56 blanks I had cut off through a 300 Blackout die. Seems like that's going to be a fun project, as I can get LOTS of spent blanks, for free.
Mounting it to the bench tomorrow... Right now, it's just sitting on top attached to the Inline Fabrication mount. |

It was nice to walk into the LRS and see powder on the shelves Primers were low count but they had them. If they had had the Carbide cutter for my case trimmer it would have been golden |
