2,000 KMB ! I use a Mighty Armory resizer/decapper. Great die that is a single die and works for 9mm/38/357 without having to adjust it in any way, and is rock solid, no broken pins on this die. I ran the brass through my Hornady progressive with a brass feeder, then threw them in the Hornady Sonic Cleaner.
So are you hand pulling all these or.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ko7x69xoYyk&t=12s

Yes and No Tom, I am just getting back on my feet from the COVID, picked up the OMNI variant and it put me flat on my back, worse than the original I had in 2019. Nasty stuff, just lingers. Doing much better now.

After puttering in my out building and sweating way too much, I came in and showered then headed to my reloading room. Had a batch of .223 brass already prepped, primed and ready to go, so I just added in some powder and stuffed a bullet on top. That was an easy 50 rounds of .223 completed in my cool basement. :D

r n g, hope you're feeling well enough to have tasted some Jameson by now. It's a disinfectant, you know!

I loaded 12 .308 Win today. I thought I'd try some IMR 4350 (usually use BLC2). So, I made up 4 different loads of 3 each with 165 gr. SPs.
I'll load up more of whichever one looks best. Waiting for delivery of more .308 bullets, so taking it slow until then.

Have been loading .44 mags with H110, XTPs and mag primers. But I'm out of XTPs and have 400 Hdy 240 LSWC that I want to load for. I have both H110 and IMR 4227 on hand. But manuals (Lyman, Sierra, Hdy, Nosler) show mag primers for H110 and IMR 4227 with jacketed, but not with lead. Would have thought they'd be the same. I hate to assume that I could use magnum primers for both lead and copper, and get the same pressures, but any comments on that? (I have a lot more mag primers than standard)

You know your right, its also a de-wormer. Haven't had a single worm since I've been drinking ! ! !

I am targeting tomorrow night (Saturday) to venture into a nice tumbler of Jameson, god willing and the river don/t rise. (which is funny cause its monsoon season in Az right now, and we have finally been getting wet. Flash flood warnings just went off and its coming down good).

Never used any mag primers.
Even though I have 1200 LR mag primers.
Picked up 1k by accident once a couple years back, :roll: then last year a buddy just gave me 200. :D
