Loaded more of the planed 1000 TC 124gr .355 over 42gr Green Dot 9x19. This is a lot slower on my Lee 4 hole turret. I need to get my Dillon 650 back up and runnung.

Received 1,250 LC .223 cases today. Have a lot of case prep work ahead to decap, size, trim, debur, swage, uniform, and clean. The WFT I got as a gift makes trimming fast but it is still a lot to do. Love the Lyman prep center for deburring and uniforming. And the Dillon Super Swage helps speed up that step. I enjoy seeing a pile of range become...perfect!
Yes. Oops.

I prefer the RCBS crimp remover for my trim mate. It fits all of the prep centers.

it's a really, really, compressed charge.and it's only for Ruger no. 1's
Just set up my second Lee Classic Turret press as a case prep/sizing-decapping/bullet sizing single-stage press on steroids. I've decided I like having the sizing/decapping die for my rifles on the second press and then an NOE M-die-stye expander, powder thru die, seating die and crimp die on the other classic cast press. Seems to speed things up a little for me.
Next project is building a shelf over the bench so I can clean off some of the clutter on the bench itself
Changed my Dillon 550 over to 45acp from 380 while the pot and moulds were getting up to temp last night. Today I cleaned about 1200 pieces of brass and inspected the boolits I cast last night. Waiting for a banker to get off his backside so I'll probably get 100 test rounds loaded for tomorrow's range trip. Can't figure out why I don't have a section for 45acp (or 380acp) in my loading notebook. I only have one load for each but I feel better if I can look them up, lol.

Some of my favorite recipes start out with a handful of depleted counterbalance devices.
This has become my standard arrangement for Lee 4 hole turret. I have to size rifle before trimming, and often will have primer crimp to deal with. Just makes sense to have a disk with sizer/de-capper die for the cases and use that station on the caliber specific turret for the NOE expander plug. Have been debating if I want to keep my C press as a second station or get a Lee Classic Cast O press or get another turret press and do what you are doing with having a "super station".
Scrap.... because all the really pithy and emphatic four letter words were taken and we had to describe this source of casting material somehow so we added an "S" to what non casters and wives call what we collect.
Kind of hard to claim to love America while one is hating half the Americans that disagree with you. One nation indivisible requires work.
