    Prepped (Deprimed, resized, trimmed, deburred, and swaged) 500 pieces of 5.56/.223 this weekend. The WFT was a life saver! But still a PITA.... FML

    Looking in to a dillion soon.

    Got my first 9mm test loads done today, and shot them at the range tonight. All were with Xtreme plated 115gr bullets, and AA5 powder loaded to 1.155 OAL. The lowest load of 5.4gr failed to lock the slide back on the first round, but locked it correctly on the next 2 sets of the same load. The rest of the rounds (5.7gr, 6.0gr, and 6.3gr) all functioned normally. The 6.0gr load felt the closest to the factory Federal value pack stuff I was shooting. The 6.3gr felt a little hotter, but only barely. No cases showed any pressure issues, not surprising since I stayed a bit below the max load numbers.

    With the one failure to lock the slide back on 5.4, I'll probably plan on a batch somewhere between the 5.7 and 6.0. I only tested them in my sr9c so I still need to see how run in my wifes new M&P Shield. It's recoil spring is tighter than my ruger.

    My skills are still the weak link, so not worried about the ammo's accuracy too much. I didn't shoot any from a bench rest, but they seemed at least as accurate as the factory ammo I shot earlier in the evening.

    Thanks to those who offered tips and pointed me toward sources for the components.

    Threw a bunch of 9mm and .223 in the tumbler then ordered 1000 Extreme plated 9mm. Looks like I'll be shooting a LOT of 9mm in the future. Last range trip I went through 300 rounds. 1000 rounds goes quickly like that.
