What did you do in the reloading room today?

[Hoser]

Do you have any of the motors on your 1050s? Or are you pulling the handle yourself?

I tried a PW autodrive a few years back. Didnt like it. Now it runs my roll-sizer.

Just me pulling the handle.

Uh .... I gave a bucket of fired brass a very stern look.

[iego]

lol, spqrzilla,

I'm guessing it didn't fire back?

Found my brass. Sized 50 cases. Had bigger plans but life happened.

Q for the reloaders. I goofed and sized some of my 38spl cases .010 below min trim to length. Bullets and loads work fine but its a pain to have two different lengths.
Toss the shorties, trim all of the brass short or just put short ones in the backup pile. Fairly sure I don't want to deal with two different lengths.

I think it?s rondog on here that uses the liquid and stainless pins and does large batches in a cement mixer. I think he even posted a video of it in action.

I sold him a mixer. I want to see it in action.

Bought a Dillon carbide 223 trim die to get through these buckets of 223 brass with less effort on my delicate little arms.

Wrong.

This die is more small base than a small base die and needs a lot more lube than my old steel trim die.

Shit. That was $190 not well spent.

I learned that same lesson Hoser. What I do now is take a small Tupperware container, put about 3-4 handfuls of brass, spray on 3-4 squirts of Dillon lube, give the tub a good shake, continue on. Once I get them all done the cases go back in the tumbler for a couple hours to clean the lube off. If you lube up too many at once it will start to dry on you and get stuck.

When I do my cases, I use a dillion sbd, then the carbide/trim die. On the 1050 toolhead it goes Lee universal depriming die, blank, blank, sbd, blank, trim, blank. I do about 300 cases a run.
