    I hate brass prep. Hate it. Reaming pockets is the worst part. But I figure if I can do 25-50 a day it'll only take me a month to work through the batch of x39 brass I'm working on. Gonna have to order a brass catcher, too.

    Where did you find them?
    Try redeye reloading if you're looking for dies. Most their dies are used but they always have a ton of dies. You just have to scroll through the endless list...

    I had no idea. I've been looking for 9 mm dies for a while. Thanks!

    They don't have them, but I'll check back. Still thanks.

    Reaming pockets on x39? Not sure it is worth it you glutton for punishment!

    Spent a little time removing surface rust from the latest productivity tool.

    Still have a little way to go.

    I loaded 150 rounds of 223 with pulled bullets. As in, pulled, scraped, marked up AND tarnished!

    And I wondered if Linotype is too hard to cast boolits from.

    I went to the Pasadena Gun Show looking for SP primers and Power Pistol powder without luck. I picked up a Lee Hand Press Kit at 10 RIng and a RCBS M500 Mechanical powder scale today at Cabela.s to go with the 38 Special dies I received yesterday. Processing brass lots faster WITHOUT a hammer now. Wife happy now.

    Cool looking machine. What's it do?

    And yes, I guess I am a glutton for punishment. Unfortunately there's a lot of military crimped brass in this lot.

    Priming machine. Got it feeding components today. It isn't black oxide but it is better than rust.

    I’m primed about 50 more cases of 300 blk. Took inventory of bullets I have in stock. Not much else
