I also picked up the Harbor Freight 2in Mini chop saw for converting .223 to 300 blk. Last up is a trimmer. I have an RCBS trimmer, just need to take the time to set it up and see if I like it enough to not buy something else.

Irving,
If you can get just the backing plate and they're a copy of the akro bins, or just want more bins, I have a giant box of them here, the real deal akro bins. They're used and some are kinda crusty, but you're welcome to come get as many as you need. They're all the "blue size."
Thanks, I'll have to look for backing plate.
I have begun the brass prep for a bunch of fire formed brass. Decapped, cleaned, weighed and bagged by weights. Ready to begin loading my first ladder test.
Perhaps try Harbor Freight.Quote:

Never ceases to amaze me how much I find out at BLGC. I really need to clean it up and put a bunch up for sale, need to start a new rifle fund!
Oh, and clean up the gun corner in the basement? Yeah, that too.....
Hey, at least I got all the buckets of wheel weights melted down and poured into ingots. Got about 13-14 .30 cal ammo cans full of 1lb ingots, 65 per can. Heavy bastards.
Speaking of pick up brass, what do you guys do with casings that have extractor claw marks in them?
What do you consider acceptable?
I've been setting aside those that are visibly deformed. Pretty sure they're not out of my guns (suppressed) but will start separating my brass from any pickups to be certain. Some folks would appear to be running excessive gas pressures in their guns.
Mark your brass with a Sharpie for easy ID/separation.

This is especially easy if you store them, upside down, in cases as you reload them. Just take a ruler and a sharpie and run a line across the whole row. More tedious to do before loading, and if you do it before cleaning, the tumbler will take off a lot, but not all, of the sharpie.Quote:
