That's only because I just built it yesterday, give it a week and it will look like a bomb went off in there.

Has anyone else noticed that Giraud has a new trimmer similar to the Crow Gun Works WFT. http://www.giraudtool.com/Tri%20Way%20Trimmer.htm

I'm getting tired of hand trimming .30-06, so this will probably be my next purchase.

Spittoon was on the desk on the opposite wall of the bench, Plenty of lead in the closet just outside of the room, but all my antlers are in my dad's house in MN. Girlie calendar is on the fridge.

My whole house is a man cave, so my loading room is a little bit more sterile. [Beer]

I didn't look for it, but I was so busy on the 1050, and the 1200 does a very nice job on .223, so I didn't have any reason to look for it.

I keep telling myself that once I've gotten caught up on the large quantity of any given caliber, I won't mind doing a hundred of anything by hand. I may be deluding myself. Inhaling too many brass shavings.

I've been in the White House once or twice. It definitely convinced me I never want to live in public housing.

Loaded up my first test rounds using CFE Pistol and Xtreme 124gr plated flat point bullets. Didn't find much load data for CFE with 124gr bullets, but based on the single item on the hodgdon site and then verifying against loads I found on forums, I ended up with 4.9, 5.1, and 5.3 grains at 1.100 OAL. Will get to the range to test them out tomorrow.
