I decided to ignore all the other stuff I have going on and finish loading all those .38 HBWCs. I've managed to shoot 200 of them before I could finish loading them but here's a stack of 800. The cool thing is they are so short they actually fit better in 9mm boxes than they do the .38 boxes. I've got some more boxes somewhere. I'll have to look again. After I finished I cleaned up the press and the dies. I'm afraid I've been spoiled by coated bullets. Those lead HBWCs are filthy. I think I'll try some more coated WCs. Acme has one with no lube groove that I've shot a few of.
On a sadder note, I lost an old friend today. My original brass-tipped Dillon primer pickup tube I got over 40 years ago with my first RL450 gave up the ghost. I think the plastic expanded. I kept having primers getting sideways in the tube and jamming things up. I ordered some of the new Dillon ones. I'm not impressed. They give you spare parts with them. That's not a good sign. Oh well. Via con dios amigo. Thanks for all the reloads.
