I noticed while picking up range brass that the 9mm had crimped primers. I had my 10 year old de-cap what we segregated and ream the crimp out of the pockets.
He used my LE Wilson primer pocket tool. It's slow, but does a great job.

Got 150 more loaded for the 6.5 grendel. Did a ladder test and found that my rifle groups best with the same powder charge and same OAL for 120 NBT's and 123 ELD-M's. That was good news to me as I like simple. Time to find some hogs for thermal scope fun.
Loaded 100 .45 acp's to run thru my new Tisas. Hornady 230 gr FMJ and 6.4 grains of Unique.
How is the accuracy and speed with that recipe?
Haven't tried shooting it yet. The limiting factor to this pistol will be the standard "Gi" sights.

Loaded 50 44 mag with 240 grain swc over 6 grains of titegroup.
Works pretty well as a plinker round pushing about 850fps.

Finished turning necks on 200 pcs of Lapua 300 WM brass.
Prepped & loaded 183 rounds of 9.3x62 (if anyone has 17 spare pieces of brass, my OCD will be eternally grateful!)
64gn of Big Game, 285gn Prvi round nose.
That should keep me in pork for a while.

Decapped another 2,000 9's. Have just 2,000 more to complete.
Realilzed I have 1400 223 hiding in a storage bin that need all of the case prep steps in addition to 3200 primered and ready to load. I was wondering why my bullet inventory was so much larger than my brass inventory.

To All--
My Son just acquired a 308 semi-auto and we were in need of some brass.
Brassman Brass has lots of brass and bullets, prices are reasonable. Even has non-crimped R-P headstamp brass in quantity and bullets at near pre-covid price. Give this guy a hard look. Our purchase arrived 3 days after the order was placed.
Lets keep this fellow in business.

Just completed decapping the last of my 9mm brass.
We have llittle over 1,000 308 in line.
Behind them is 1200 223.
After that I have a few hundred each of 22-250, 243, 300 WinMag.
30/06 still has 200 to go before the entire clan of 700 rounds goes in for the 4th firing sequence.
Gave my 270 and Axis 7mm08 to my brother and his Son in Hendersonville as Christmas presents. Going to load a whole bunch for those calibers when I have a solid recipe for each. The 7 i got (thankyou DA)
Will probably keep the dies and reload components for awhile. The Blue Tips are in my last Will & Testament to DA.

I went to the range after work, and left all my fresh reloads on the bench. Happy Friday.
