    Should have brought the rest of my 223 brass and I could have been processing it.

    And on that note, I need to get a hand primer so I can also bring that with me and prime the brass after cleaning, sorting and chamfering the primer pocket.

    I really need to get more brass and powder. Both for rifle and pistol. I could easily stand to have another 2-3k of each on hand.

    As far as the powder goes, it really sucks that 223 uses so much powder. I was shocked that I can only get about 300 rounds out of 1lb of powder!

    Would probably be nice to get another powder measure. I wonder if I spent some real coin on it, if it'd be more consistent.

    Wow, $80 for an RCBS dropper? Perhaps I got spoiled/blinded by the price of lee products. They've all been great so far!

    Let a friend load some 9mm on my press, was teaching him too. The LGS recommended Accurate #5 for him, and it doesn't meter well at all. We were trying to get small incremental charges using the lee disk powder dropper.
