    Loaded up some 45 acp with lower powder charge and changed the seating depth since the kaboom with my buddies glock. Will take to the range tomorrow and see how my Kimber cycles and shoots.

    Dropped powder down to 5 grains Hod TG and set seating at 1.26.

    Investigated what the heck happened yesterday when my LNL AP broke. Discovered that a powder spill (that's another story) had deposited some powder beneath the priming ram, causing it to sit just enough proud to lock up the primer slide, crunch. Got online to see what parts I need to order. Then repaired what I could. Since I had the press off the bench, I moved the mounting holes to the left a few inches so I'm not crammed against the wall when loading. Finished up by loading some previously primed cases until I ran out of 52gr SMKs. That involved skipping the usual sizing/decapping station, and had to laugh when muscle memory took over and I ended up de-priming one case. DOH!
    THEN...I got online to see what a Dillon 650 outfit would set me back. I got a smokin' bonus at work, so there's some cash to spare!

    Been tumbling/sorting bulk range 9mm brass all weekend.
    Would definitely rather be loading.

    Trimmed, deburred and maybe I'll prime them later, about 175x 308win cases.

    Wet tumbled about 1600 pieces of .40 S&W brass. De-primed about 800 9mm. I'm trying to get every piece of brass I own ready for reloading. It's kinda like getting all my laundry and ironing done at the same time. Almost never happens, but it's nice when it does.

    Still really like the stainless tumbler, but there's definitely still a place and a need for my dry tumbler as well.

    Setup a workup for 45ACP of WST from 4.2 to 4.8gr. Also working up 308. I have been prepping brass for months, even making my own 300BLK. It's good to finally be getting to the bullet making stages. Now if only the weather would would get nice when I have some time off to test them....
    My life working is only preparation for my life as a hermit.

    My wife and I just had another conversation tonight about whether or not it would be a good idea to finish the basement. My dad has supposedly had an old Mosler bank vault door stashed in the basement of his office he said I could have. I wonder how much it would cost to haul that sucker up the rickety old stairs and drive it back from Nebraska for a nice sized vault/reloading room. It's an old sucker, grandpa had it way back when he was a small town banker. Aaaah, dreams. Sigh. Have been spending an awful lot lately on stuff for myself, including all that Dillon stuff that's on the way. I should probably focus for a few months on selling some guns instead of buying them.

    That would definitely be sweet. My opinion: Worth it in the long run, if you plan on staying at that house.

    Steel fire / security door. The hinges are accessible to remove from the inner side only. . Weld a plate down the lock / dead bolt side so no one can use pry bars to wedge open.
