    Wrapped Christmas presents. It's truly a multipurpose bench. One of them was full of all the parts and pieces for an AR that I'm giving to my 8mo son

    Powder coated some 45 colt, 327 mag. Loaded some of the same from an earlier run. Both boolet molds are from Mihec.
    Merry Christmas.

    Picked up a new collet for my Hornady bullet puller and pulled 3 years worth of mistakes and adjustments that weren't quite right. This thing is awesome but after that many my hand was a bit sore. I think I'll take some 3/4" aluminum rod and make a handle to slip over the factory one. I also noticed that the PC bullets tended to slip out of the collet a lot more than the Hi-Tek coated ones did.

    Not much of anything. I finished up with washing, resizing and tumbling all of my 9mm's late on the 23rd and decided to knock off for the holidays. I did wander out to the loading room today and store away a few bullet puller collets that I got for Christmas.

    Finished sizing, trimming and reaming the pockets on 200 300blk I made from 223 this week. Going to go load up a bunch of them with both 150gr and 110gr jwords then use up a bunch of Hunters Supply 38cal SWC's I found that I'd bought a few years ago for a range session this week.
    I also mounted a new 6x24x50 Osprey scope on a T/C Compass 6.5 Creedmor. Going to test that out, too.

    Last replacement parts came in so I started case forming about 400ish cases for 45 ACP shot shells; Found that the Lee Hand Press will DO it, but, it takes Yeti Arms (which I have, fortunately) to manage forming the cases. I think it's time to get the B&D Woodworking Table rig set up for the RockChucker and use that, that's going to be a LOT less exercise to form those cases on that press... Looking forwards to having some of those around again.

    Cleaned and organized.
    Drew up plans for a second 8’ bench. Need it mostly for storage and probably a couple MEC 650s.

    Finished loading the 250 New pup. 32 cap brass with 85 gr .311 over 2.3 gr green dot. Want to use 2.6 gr but don't have my adjustable little dandy roster yet.

    Castpics.com has all of the Hercules and Alliant load manuals in photo form. Lots of pistol data for several powders.

    Then I started resizing the .312 to .311. The .312 would not plunk.

    Busted down some reload mistakes. Primed 150 300AAC altough I'm wondering about them as the first 20 I made didn't go bang. The pin snapped hard but didn't seem to hit the primer at all. Going to pull the bolt apart tomorrow. and see if I can figure out what is going on.

    I check primers in the backyard (in town) -- sounds like a cap gun.
    Got a batch of bag magnum primers a while back, returned them to the store.
