    Send me a pm. I have one that I customized that I'd be willing to looan to you to get an opinion on the mods. Maybe you could donate some 5.56 brass that I can convert to 300 blackout.

    Let me know,

    In other news, I've realized that I have 2-3k .223/5.56 cases that need the primer holes swaged. This crap just keeps getting more and more expensive while I try to save money...

    Is anyone willing to loan me a nice bench-mounted swager like a dillon super swage 600 or similar for a few weeks?

    Swaged about 500 rounds of .223 with my Dillon Super Swager. I had it mounted to the top of my bench with nutserts so I could remove it when it wasn't being used.... Well, it broke loose and so now I've got a messed up bench top and an unmounted swager. Bummer. Gonna have to come up with a more robust solution.

    Wet tumbled about 400 pieces of .223.

    Loaded up 20 test rounds of Hornady FMJBT 55gr projectiles using CCI small rifle primers and Hodgdon CFE223 powder. There's not much load data out there for this exact setup so I started light at 26.0 grains and 2.190" OAL. I'll run it through my Rock River AR and see what happens. I'm planning on using this load as a general plinking and all-purpose round in my AR and possibly my CZ 527 bolt action with the 1:12 barrel. Once I'm happy with the load, I think I've got enough supplies on hand to put about 3000 rounds on the shelf.

    Loaded up 1000 rounds of Sierra MatchKing 69gr HPBT about 10 days ago. Used the CCI small rifle primers and 24.5 grains of Winchester 748 powder. That'll be an AR-only round because the 69gr projectiles are just too heavy for my 1:12 CZ bolt action.

    Also did several NFA Trusts today... At least one of them was a board member. Thanks to all of you for making my reloading activities possible!

    No longer accepting new Trust clients. Pretty much out of the law business completely.

    Ah, geez, Hoser! Don't encourage him!

    I blew off the 100/100/100 ATA trapshoot at Pawnee today, Jenny made some outrageous biscuits and gravy, and I stayed in my jammies half the day, then FINALLY got into the man-cave for some brass cleaning, prep and loading. The Hornady L-N-L had an issue with the primer drive so I got to do some troubleshooting and minor adjustment. So, only got 50 of those amazing 53gr V-Max loads done.
    I forgot that my mesh range-pickup bag had a mixture of 40/45/9mm/.223 in it, and dumped it all in the media...that led to prying some 9 out of 40, 9 and 40 out of 45, and all kinds of .223 out of everything else. Geco is starting to show up in the range pick-ups. They have really filled an ammo void apparently.
    And upstairs, I loaded all my .40 cal mags, and did some shotgun reloading drills with some 12ga dummy loads. (No, I didn't do shotty reloading drills with .40 cal mags.) Sigh...I can remember when I had manual dexterity...kinda...

    Rod,

    How about a piece of 3/4" plywood with the swager permanently attached with recessed T-nuts, clamped to the benchtop when you need to swage. It all goes away when you don't swage.

    I know how that is, last year my basement flooded a few times. I fixed one problem but still have another to fix to make sure I don't flood again.

    Yesterday, I loaded 150 rounds of 45acp so I could shoot the Aurora match. Then I shot the match and did well (for me).
