I'm 5'7 and currently have a 42" high bench, rough fit with a 4" mount would seem pretty good standing and I have 8'+ ceilings.

Finished loading all my prepped blackout brass. It wasn't as much as I thought, so I'm halfway through sizing half a 5-gallon bucket more. Thank God I have the jumbo-sized Lyman tumbler. It was already clean, but I need to get lube off. However, I apparently had cleaned it in stainless, which means I need to chamfer the mouth of every case. Especially since I'm loading cast bullets. Ugh.

I did find a full 50 Cal can of 223 though while looking for a can to put the blackout in, so that's good.

My 9mm stash is about 1/4 of a 30 Cal can. That should take me perhaps an hour or two to fill, no big deal. I'll start on that after I finish sizing the remaining blackout - which I'll return to right after my coffee break.

Oh, also, it appears my gempro took a shit. I'm going to start a separate thread to discuss that though.

Why don't you keep them in their little boxes and trays?

Right? That's all I do. Put them on the shelf, in the cardboard boxes they came in when I bought them by the case.

I have some primers that I bought from an estate sale that are easily 20 years old. Winchester, back when they used tan boxes. I've loaded over 10k of them, they all went bang without a single complaint.

Did you season the primers before you vacuum sealed them?


*inside joke*

That should be fine. The "seasoned" quip was directed as a joke to another frequent poster here. I will let him explain. Nothing directed poorly at yourself.

So you basically vacuum bagged each brick of primers to protect them from moisture?

What an interesting idea.

Pushed my freshly tumbled 18lbs of 40cal brass through my G-RX sizing die tonight and added it to my stash. I'm up to 52lbs of deprimed, sized and cleaned 40cal brass. Only 25lbs left to get through and then it's onto the 9mm brass.
