Just made 300 .45FMJ
Finally got tired with my slow progress in load development and lack of range time. Made up 100 ea in 5 steps from min to max in 9mm, 45ACP, 38SP. 100 ea in 3 steps for 357 Mag. Should have similar quantities for 40S&W, 357 Sig, 45 Colt and 44 Mag done today. If I get enough time maybe some more 5.7 loads
Will take them out to the range for chrono and keep anything remaining for plinking / blasting rounds.
Yes, it has paddles. But I haven't unboxed and assembled it yet. The paddles are for mixing cement mix and water, so I doubt they'll be suitable. I might be able to modify them, or just replace them with something different. Remains to be seen.
Who knows, I might need to mix up some concrete someday too!
There's a lot more of us ugly mf'ers out here than there are of you pretty people!

It's all shits and giggles until someone giggles and shits.....
Cleaned up the bench, tumbled a bunch of brass from range pickup and updated list of my reloading stores.

Loaded 100 .454 with my son to go shoot with my cousin in utah Tuesday should be fun
Deprimed and sized ~250 .308
Deprimed and sized about 10 .30-06
Ripped the press off my bench... Something was up with the .30-06 die. Deprimed and sized easy but they were hanging up halfway out of the die and took an extra bump to pull them down, the extra bump tore the bolts through the cheap bench.
Well finished Cleaning and prepping about 800 45acp cases (Full size, Decap, Cleaned primer pockets & belled). Just went through and started a detailed inventory of everything and tumbled about 4 loads of misc brass. Tonight I think I will prime them and start processing some 9mm brass.
Deprime and size... buckets and buckets..
What is my joy if all hands, even the unclean, can reach into it? What is my wisdom, if even the fools can dictate to me? What is my freedom, if all creatures, even the botched and impotent, are my masters? What is my life, if I am but to bow, to agree and to obey?

Figure I will take a break from 45 and work some 9mm tonight, yea I know I live like a rock star.
