    Got the .243 brass trimmed and deburred.
    Primer pockets cleaned. Ready for priming.
    My hands are cramping.

    Had my daughter volunteer to size some 9mm. Didnt get too many done bjt its the thought that counts. She wants me to make her a bullet keychain too.



    .44 mags. Fifty. Med power.

    What bullets are you using? Just picked up some h110 to load some for a friend. He bought some berrys but im thonking about taking them and trading for some jacketed bullets unless i can get a good load for 231 or something.

    Also, still have x39 brass if interested.

    I used some 240 g Berrys hollow points, 21.1 grains of H110, CCI 350 mag primers, 1.600". Should be around 1150 fps. I've only used the H110 on pretty hot rounds with jacketed bullets before. Those were the only .44 bullets I had though.

    I'll probably pass on the x39 stuff for now but I appreciated the text.

    Where did you get that hopper?
    Came with the autodisk. Ive noticed lee is changing up quite a bit of their stuff. I guess they are getting away from the old red hoppers. It is much easier to see the powder level, but it is also much smaller than the older round red hoppers like I have on my pro 1000. I like the clear hopper much better.

    Your bench is way too clean and shiny. I like the Lee Classic Turret, its what I use as well.

    I built that bench about a year ago and have only used it a few times. As for the cleanliness, you should have seen it about 30 mins before I took the pic! I just cant stand working on a cluttered bench and that one is only 6' long.

    here is a pic of it before!

    I ran another batch through powder coat. Also setup my pro1000 for 9mm. Ran a few hundred though to size, deprime, and expand. Going to try to get a bullet sizing die this weekend to size all the PC bullets.
