Annealed for the first time; 200 pcs of .223
Pressed out about 200~ish .223 for my little 16" AR. I find the monotony of loading on a single stage very therapeutic.
Just doing what I can to stay on this side of the dirt.
Rescued about 300 pieces of donated .45 auto brass / RA 62 match from several decades of some nasty case lube. It had pretty much just turned to gum. All purty now...
Might put some brass in the tumbler. I managed to get the tumbler out from where I store it a couple of weeks ago. It requires me to move one of our vehicles and one of the motorcycles to get to it so I usually let the brass accumulate for a bit before I start processing it. Winter will be here soon so I need to get the ball rolling. I'm a load in the winter, shoot in the summer type of guy.
I loaded 20 rounds of .223 on my SS press (cain't stand 20 loose pieces of brass), and 100 rounds of .45 auto (I was out, and the buddy with a 550 is out of town).
I do get what you're saying about dialing out the world and loading in some peace and quiet. Some folks watch tv. At least this produces SOMEthing.
I recently sized and deprimed 500 rounds of 9mm one piece at a time. I didn't find it very therapeutic at all. Lol.
I actually did it on a Lee hand press. Needed something to entertain me when I was out of town for work so thought I'd try it out. Way too much work. Took three nights, several hours each night to get through the 500 pieces.
dicking around with one of the 650's. the blue is so perfect, to have an issue , has paralyzed me.Need to realign something so something else cycles correctly.
There's the Blue Kool Aid. I think mine has The Blue Flu.. Luckily it's not Glock perfection this time , that's another thread ;(
