Great thread and great info! Just what I needed, another project... I am getting sick of annealing thousands of 300BLK cases by hand!

Here's another one of me making some 9mm on the Dillon 550B Press.
You can use it but just know that I may want to use it and/or parts of it my self some day.

Enjoying a beautiful evening at the range, testing out some .300 AAC Blackout ammo that I had just made with 5.56 Lake City Brass!... sorry for the slow-mo but I was planning on using this clip for a...

I just started machining the parts to build a press similar to ANeat's press from the post "Lets make a press"...
You guys ROCK!!!

Those are some awesome looking samples!
The only problem I have with using brass cases for jackets are the uniformity (or the lack of) over different manufactures. I was thinking of trying to come...

Bullet Maker, That's what I was thinking... This is a big bullet but I think ANeat's press build with MattM's plans would be up to the task.
The only thing that I was worried about was blowing out a...

One of the main reasons that I personally like to polish my cases... I like to have a zero oxidation point to start with before I anneal my cases so I can judge the time and temp by eye. Its just a...

Teach your sons to reload and make custom ammo and they will never have money for drugs, alcohol, etc...

Interesting! I've read about a couple fires, but most were explained away by the use of tracer rounds and were in outside berms.

That works! We were both thinking the same thing... lead is not getting any cheaper and I'd like to save what I can for the amount of shooting I do!

JWFilps, oh hell yea! That's what I'm talking about!

Anyone have any cool handgun muzzle flash photos?

My wife and I like to take photos and video at our range and every once in a while we capture something cool like this muzzle flash from my Glock...

Here is a video I made from my "ground rubber bullet trap" project.

This is my process to produce consistent, high quality 300 AAC Blackout cases.
Please Note: I only use LC or FC cases for consistency. I would never use a case that is headstamped as "223"! It goes...

I use "Lemi Shine" for all my case cleaning and polishing needs. Its made from citrus acids and available in most stores. I use this in my wet tumbler with a little dish soap... simple, cheap,...

In that case, if you are ever given a Dillon PLEASE contact me! I would be more than happy to relieve you of that terrible machine...

I have the Dillon 550B and could not be happier!!! I started with a bare bones press, and slowly acquired tool heads, conventions kits, and dies for it. Now I load 380, 9mm, 40 S&W, 45 acp, 223, 300...

Its just a simple, inexpensive, 150gr plated cast bullet by "Extreme Bullets". I started using these when 150gr FMJ disappeared for a while a couple years ago. They are not the most accurate, but for...

About as flat as you can go and still feed in the AR platform chambered in the 300 AAC Blackout.

Wow, great display of reloading areas here!!!
I'm in the process of building a new reloading room... or as I like to call them "cartridge development area".

I'll edit this post and provide some...
