    Decided to break out my reloading stuff yesterday, spent all morning tumbling, decapping, cleaning, sizing about 1000x 223 (trimming/deburring these), 750x 9mm, 500x .40S&W. Then finished with priming that 223 only since I'm apparently out of small pistol primers. My wife gave me crap for not packing, until I showed her that I was really consolidating containers and was able to trash about 5-10 smaller containers that were holding brass in various processing stages. I sure showed her!

    Inquiring minds (me) want to know, what kind of velocity/bc does one obtain from such a creature?
    Good catch. Meant 230. Had 338 Lapua on the brain. Thats where I use 300 gn Hybrids.

    Outstanding tip, not sure why I didn't think of using those. My first order from xtreme came in the large 1000 count box. My second order came in two smaller 500 count boxes. The smaller boxes work great for me for loaded ammo. It just barely holds 250 rounds of 9mm.

    Nice. I have always gotten my bullets in the boxes that are twice that size (long rectangular), so I guess those are the 1000rd boxes. But my last order, I got the 500rd boxes which might actually make it easier to store.

    Installed my replacement primer feeder. I was having a issue where primers were occasionally getting stuck in the tube coming from the primer tray on my Lee Safety Prime. Emailed them, and they shipped out a replacement part free of charge, no questions asked. Now feeding perfectly.
