into the trash they go, don't trust them.

Sounds like berdan primed? the last stuff i had with that HS was berdan, hence the smaller hole.

Nope Igman is notoriously small.

Kazoo, that is what I thought too. But I put a light in one of them and the primer hole was tiny, that is when I went online to look up the HS. I thought I culled them all out but one snuck through and broke the pin on the resizer this morning. Oh well.

So today I wet tumbled 500 .40 and 500 .223 cases, gonna get them reloaded this week.

Tumbled a bunch of brass from Front Range Gun Club, it had been "tumbled", but not like I'd consider sufficient. Then ran it through the media separator, now I'll continue messing with it tomorrow, I took the day off, mental health, and all that.

I neck turned the "donut" off 200 pieces of .260 brass. Since I'm an idiot and didn't take enough material off the first time, I got to do it twice. Yay me.

I moved the reloading room outside. Load development drives me nuts. Try to guess what you need, drive to the range, fire a few shots and realize you need to try something you don't have with you. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat.

My RCBS Chargemaster runs on 12V, and I have one of those super light car starting batteries. It came with a whole selection of plugs, and one fit the chargemaster perfectly. I also do all bullet seating with a little Lee press mounted to a board and attached with clamps. I dragged my crap to the range to do some testing with a new bullet. It all just worked perfectly. I saved myself at least one and maybe two trips back home to load something up I didn't have along.

That's a great idea Tim looks like it would save a ton of time. Did the powder change as the temp climbed being in the sun?
