What did you do in the reloading room today?

[Hoser]

Spent some time at the bench this past week. Loaded about 1,000 rounds of 243 with H-1000 and DTAC 115s. I didnt realize I had that much brass.

Just keep walking by the bench and looking at all the stuff I need to do. Got a national match in 2 weeks and haven't even screwed the barrel on my gun or loaded one round. I suck.

Go haze yourself.

Suck could be an impetus.

Spent some time this past week processing a 5 gallon bucket of LC 223 brass for a friend.

Trimmed, de-primed and removed primer crimp. Easy peasy.

Got my new Amp-Mate set up for the AMP Annealer, then ran 800 pieces of BRX through it yesterday. Also set up the Auto-Throw upgrade for the Auto-Trickler and built another floating die tool head for the 650 and used it to load 100 rounds of BRX to start break in on my 2 new match rifle barrels.

Now to Load up another hundred or so to finish breaking in both rifles so I can start load development. 3 weeks from now is my first National match for the season and I gotta have at least one if not both of these rifles tuned up and ready to roll for it.

I am soooo close to getting an AmpMate. I even have a new Dillon casefeeder in the garage I can use.

But I am also weary of "flying the A model." I might wait to see if version 1.5 comes out.

They have a "gen 2" coming supposedly this summer. Wait for it. the original has some quirks and I think it's mostly software so it will be easily upgraded and they have promised that all gen 1 units will get free upgrades so I bit on it. However after running it a bit, I would wait for the upgraded version.

Amp Mate. I need one.

I loaded up 300 rds of Dasher with my new AutoTrickler. Neat piece of gear. It requires a bit of fiddling to get it running properly, but once that's done it throws charges to plus or minus a single kernel. Best part is that it's fast. I load precision ammo on a 550, and it has a charge ready and waiting for me by the time I cycle the press.

I also did some loading to transfer my precision .223 load from Prime brass to LC.

Spent some time in the reloading room these past few days processing 45 ACP brass for a friend and member here.

1. Tumble clean.
2. Roll size.
3. Run through Dillon 1050 to FL resize, decap, sort out small primer pocket brass and swage out any military crimped brass.
4. Wet tumble.

Didnt take long actually. The stopping every 10-20 cases to pluck a small primer pocket piece of brass out of the machine was a minor pain.

Best part of the deal was I eliminated about 300-400 pcs of that bullshit-worthless-evil-commie small primer pocket 45 ACP brass from the gene pool. Federal, CCI and any other company that does this should be ashamed of themselves. Now I know why I converted most everything from 45 ACP to 45 GAP.
