That is a very productive day
What did you do today in the reloading room?
- Thread starter Deerhunter
- Start date
I need a Dillon.......
But nothing makes me happier than ammo boxes full of freshly pressed Freedom Seeds!

Did you find what you needed on rokslide
Yessir!
I'm going to save the last of my Varget for the 77 TMKs, since I have a known load & I don't shoot many of them.
Nice my friend! I feel your pain on the single stage press!

Ah yes, Soldiers, no way to have too many.
I do mine the same way...I do have an RCBS aut-prime thing...but yep a lot of handle cranking.
I tried to get parts for my Lee to do 223 but gave up.

Got 257 federal 223 cases loaded with imr 4895 and 55 grain fmj's. Will be plinker/target rounds.
Lake city brass is next, will load most of those with varmageddons and soft points.

The shell plate and charging die.
I got another 800 5.56 cases tumbled, sized & deprimed before I broke my last decapping pin. 
I've got another 1100 to go once the spare pin arrives.
I did manage to cut, tumble, form & prime another 150 300blk cases. I should have them all loaded later today.
Dear Santa: Dillon 550 please!

Rob, pull those Berdan primed cases out before you go slamming through there.I got another 800 5.56 cases tumbled, sized & deprimed before I broke my last decapping pin.

Getting ready to move it
I got a PM from a friend yesterday, saying that he's happy to let me use his 550c for bulk loading, which is awesome!
However, he's only set up for .45, 9mm & .38spl He doesn't shoot rifles much.
Luckily, I have a 30cal ammo box full of .38s waiting for me to have the time, patience & energy to prep & load them.
I wet tumbled the lot of them yesterday, dug out a pound of 231 & a bucket of160gn blue bullets.
I did load up 100 on my press while I was waiting. 50 with 150gn cast & 50 with 158g XTPs. Both shot to POA at 10yds, along with my old 180gn load, so I'm kinda ballparked for the 160s. Should be a fun afternoon tomorrow!
