Primed 500 pieces of 223 brass and charged/seated bullets on 400 308.
Cut, sized, and swaged primer pockets on 500 LC 5.56 brass that are on their way to being 300 BO
Next step is trimming to final length, then loading after they get cleaned again.
I’ve 200 of the LC brass , what method do you use to trim it down. Gonna be a winter project and looking for recommendations

Deprimed and sized another 1000 5.56 brass, prepped, primed and loaded the second 500 5.56 from the first batch.
1000 loaded, 1000 decapped and sized..
16000 more to go.
After 10,000 9mm I convinced the wife to let me get a Mark 7 auto drive for my dillon 650. It's worth every penny. I've run about 20,000 9mm through it and a couple thousand 556!

Am I the only one that uses Hornady Unique case lube?
I lube the first one up more than the rest and for 223, I usually dip a finger into the lube once every 5-8 cases. As I feel more resistance I can tell its time to dip it.
For the lift out, I just scrape some into the top at the inside.
This is plinking ammo, not precision stuff I'm loading.

Early morning powder coated a couple hundred cast 9mm
This evening, I did an inventory (weigh bags then calculate total based on case weight) of all my primed brass.
Was trying to look at gaps/imbalance of components.
realized I had prepped WAY too many 45ACP and 45Colt that I don't even shoot much of. If I only knew back in the spring to save those LRP for later trading.
Guess I'll have to mold up some 45 and powder coat it. hmmm
Who else hates cleaning and reaming military crimped primers.
