Finished pointing up the last of my 2,000 Berger 105 6mm Hybrids.
I am so glad Sierra does this at the factory for most of their Matchkings now.

You know I like my coffee sweet in the morning
and I'm crazy about my tea at night
All the 9 and 45 I load goes into the clear plastic 50 round cases, and when all my cases are full, I fill up the trays from commercial ammo.
In each case or tray, I have a little slip of paper with the date, bullet brand/type/weight, powder brand, powder charge weight and OAL.
So my last slips for my 45acp rounds have
10/23
CFE 6.2gr
Xtreme 230gr HP 1.250
I was originally loading my 230gr HP to 1.230, but had a few feed issues so I moved them out to 1.250 and found they ran fine.
Now I can tell when I'm grabbing a case what length it was loaded to (so I can grab the longer ones for idpa or pin shoots, but use the shorter ones for range plinking)
I also have a spreadsheet that I update after each reloading session that contains:
Date, # of rounds, caliber, bullet brand/type/weight, powder brand, powder charge weight, OAL and then a column that is a formula of # of rounds times the charge weight. I also note on the spreadsheet when I start on a new can of powder.
I've always used the same primers, so I don't log that, but if I end up changing primers at some point, i'll add that to the spreadsheet as well.
That's pretty much what my aim is as well.

Got my wife to go to the Pawnee Saturday. I think She had fun. She shoots pretty well once she gets comfortable. I got to try out my 308 loads with the hornady 168 amax, 5 shot group with 43.2 grains of ancient h4895. Shot one 1/4" hole with a horizontal flyer that measures about 3/4 moa overall. My best shooting and, knock on wood, best loads so far.

De-primed and tumbled 1200 pcs of 308 tonight.
Seems I need to adjust the ergonomics of my de-prime station. Lower back is a bit sore.

I know! I actually did work out right after this. Not related. You know how you want to put just a little more force into it, but it doesn't feel right, but you're pretty sure that if you just give it a bit more "oomph", but you don't want to break anything, but.........
I know you've been there!
Just found out i have a 45 conversion for the 650..........Was looking for another item, when i stumbled across a dillon box. Cross referenced the part #'s with my dillon chart, well what do ya know.
Time to make the donuts.
