My lee collator and tubes showed up to use with my App press. Not on the press, but I put it together and dropped a case in. Then I dropped a few cases in. then I dropped a large handful. And another large handful. It is like MAGIC!
I am still grinning and giggling about it. It is going to speed up my processing on the App SOOO much. That was all 9mm. I see some guys saying they needed to modify it with some 1/2 PEX and others that it is only the occasional upside down 9mm (or smaller) case. I'll need to play with it. See if it is worth while getting a new collator and setting one up for 9mm and smaller (not sure if I'll run 32acp or 9x18 through the App, but I am running 9mm on it).
I have a Smith and Wesson model 52-2 that I created some snap caps for. I am also reloading 150 38 Special mid load wad cutters.
I have been wet tumbling, resizing, depriming, removing crimp, trim and deburr, and re wet tumble approx 5k 223 cases.
Have completed about 2k, the rest are at different stages. waiting on some lanolin to make some case lube.
Hand primed 75 9mm cases that I had previously resized and expanded. Loaded some 7.62x39 dummies. Neck tension is way too low. So I need to troubleshoot those.
Are you using a .308 or .311 expander? Or are you using .308 bullets with a .311 expander?
Ok so I’ve run out of pills to load and have stooped to seating these in cases, do you think I’ll get any Keyholing?

Got to be careful reusing those cop killer bullets you find laying around on the ground of your local gas station...Ok so I’ve run out of pills to load and have stooped to seating these in cases, do you think I’ll get any Keyholing?
