Thanks Dean 2 will give it a try.

De primed and removed crimped on 91ct, .223 Mil brass, uniformed primer pockets, ran neck arbors through the necks, trimmed all to length, wet tumbled and dried for storage. Have another 150ct. coming soon, so no rest for the wicked. Lot's of work, hope it is worth it. Now, I just need dies and a rifle. LOL

I got back into the reloading business. Just kidding. But today after my road race, I started to replenish my stores. I loaded a modest hundred rounds of .45 Colt.

Made a new ejector for my 9.3x62 mauser. Original one was only ejecting about 60% of the time....not near good enough for me so I fabbed up a new one. Ill probably need to make a new one in the future as the only steel I had handy was .049 thick. Original was .059 thick...It will run for now.

Default Warning: Hornady? Frontier 223 REM

As you all know I have been doing a bunch of brass prep in .223. Well I trimmed 91 cases today with the FC head stamp.

*10 were in trim length specs. (1.760"-1.750")
*15 or more (I never counted) were more then spec. length by at least ~20 thou.
*The rest were ~20 thou under minimum trim length. Now this does not make these unsafe. BUT the over length brass is quite worry some.
This is once fired brass.

Play safe everyone!

Welp, got the scope on the #3 in 3030AI, loaded 20 rounds, and scoped the bore- CHANGE OF PLAN!
The barrel is so nice I'm just going to sell it with the bore scope pics.
Now I have some bullets to pull, and a scope to take out of the rings! LOL

Just spent money in an auction that I don't have Does that count as future work in the reloading room?

Built the first load up for my 280ai. 160gr nosler accubonds. Started a grain lower than what the book max was and ended up 2 grs over the max load with still zero signs of pressures or stress and no sticky bolt. Finally got to what the book fps said. Using h4831sc and fed210 primers. 2945/2949fps. More or less what i was hoping for and a pretty darn good group at .75moa and felt good.

Built up a ladder test for my uncles 300wm. 180gr speer boattails... Ran imr4831 as its test. Went with Sami specs and book load - chrono said 3060/3067... 5 shots touching at sami length.

What a day. Loaded all the bullets remaining, filled out the log book with a crisp one to enjoy the rest of the evening.
