Sized 400 .223 cases. After they finish tumbling to remove the lube, I get to trim them all plus another 200 I sized last week. And there about 300 more left to size. I hate case prep.

Went to the gun show and traded a lb. of 7828 that I bought for $23.98 (on sale) the day before at Bi-Mart for a lb. of $40 marked, impossible to find, W296 for the Blackout rounds. (H110 must be even more scarce. I saw a lb. at the Albany show last week marked (gasp) $55.)
And $20 for a box of Sierra #2120 that is $27 anywhere else. If you can find them.
And $23 for 1k of WSR primers that are (a reasonable, these days) $36 at Bi-Mart.

It's like 2006 all over again.

Been at it all day, the last 150 is primed and ready. Going to try and weigh out and seat the rest in the AM.

I'm in the process of reloading 1,500rds of .223 ammo. Right now I'm swaying the primer pockets.

I/we loaded 800 rounds of 9mm today. Our 13 year old daughter likes to reload with me. She started helping by sorting brass at 5 years old. Now she loads primers and today ran the 550B by her self. Great to work in the shop with her. I will try to post pics of her working

Powder coating seems a bit messy, but is cheaper than the hi-tech coating. I just started doing some with hi-tech, easy process with great results. It may not 100% replace my std lubed bullets, but for indoor shooting, waaay better.

You should find an IMG link for the picture you want to post. Click that link and it should copy it for you. Now go to your post and right click to paste the link. I normally hit a return before I paste the next picture.

14K 147 grainers? Are you loading up subs? I need to stock up on some, but I have never ordered that many at a time. I bet your mailman will love you Smile

My 8 year old daughter loves to put the primers in the tube for me and puts the loaded rounds in the trays for me. She makes different designs Smile

Yup, have 2 of the Lowes benches setup side by side. The other has the larger presses bolted to it. This one is the workbench so to speak. Nice spot on the hammer Wink The press is a K&M arbor, I break it out when seating with the Wilson dies.
