219 Improved Zipper from 25/35 (Thanks to Hornady for providing new 25/35 brass!). Left to right would be the 25/35 case, then trimmed to just a bit too long 25/35, 25/35 in the trimmer (Lyman for drill press setup), sized in Zipper FL sizer (just leaves a little shoulder) and loaded with forming load (Lee .225/50 grain with White Label blue lube, 9 grains Green Dot for a nice 150 yard sage rat load) and finally a fully formed case loaded with 53 grain Hornady hollow point for those 300 yard sage rats. And I don't use a photo hosting service so you'll need to click on the pic to get full-sized.

Sweet job Earl!!!
Glad you liked it RED. It was kinda' fun to set up, and I used the technique where you are pretty much in the dark and you give a long exposure (20 seconds in this case) and light it with a flashlight you move around to light the various areas...
