    Gonna finish out around 12 or so 223 from last night, and then start on some 40.

    Got side tracked with some more domestic stuff, but finished the 223.

    Wanted to share for anyone loading 223 by hand, "Joannes" craft stores, have plastic funnels in their "beading tools" department.....if you drill them out to 15/64, they fit quite snugly over the mouth of the case really well. Neato.

    Look into using the barrel of a disposable pen. You can trim them to length, they can be pretty accurate, and they fit into the little case your die sets come in.
    Just doing what I can to stay on this side of the dirt.

    Yeah I did it with larger charges with powders that don't meter that well. It's like the scoop, but a little more tunable.
