That bucket is.. a real accomplishment. Wow. I was proud of my couple 8 pound powder jugs of dead primers here. I'm 3D printing out a primer chute to direct mine downward now.

I upped my case lube regimen, which has helped with the force required. I plan to try a Lee die off my old press, because I've never had primer get sucked back in, and the force seems lower to me.

In 9mm: I will have to research who has the shortest 147gr coated bullet, or switch to 124gr - my brass "herd" now has a large quantity of thick-walled and internally-stepped casings. Blue and Bayou 147gr bullets bulge out the walls, leading to chambering failures, even at 1.160" OAL, which is about as long as I can go and still assure reliable feeding in my mags.
