If you mean X-exterminator, I used it with some good results and still have a wee bit of it left.
Haven't load much 223 in the past few yrs., either though.

Not on the bench, but for the the bench....
I scored 2400 sr primers for %7.99 per hundred.

Bought 500 rounds of 357 brass from Diamond K brass due in tomorrow. That will give me about a 1000 rounds for 357 brass.

Didn’t reload any ammo but did use the bench to finally get my scope mounted on my 300 Blackout AR. Looking good! Replaced a 1-4x20 with this 3-9x40 and this old man’s eyes are going to appreciate both the increased magnification and the increased field of view.

Ventured Into new territory. Put together some 10mm Auto loads to test out at my daughter’s house next weekend. Never loaded these before and as with everything new it was a learning experience. Biggest headache was readjusting the 40 S&W dies to 10mm.

On the left is a 180 gr hi-tek coated bullet and on the right is a 220 gr lead flat point. According to the load data the 180 gr should go about 1100-1150 fps with the 220 gr going about 950 fps. Mainly want to see function and feeding in a 1911.
