I have put aside reloading for the time being, been working on the addition of 3- 3'x8' raised beds. This hauling and shoveling of 2 yards of bended topsoil is killing this old man's back. Should be putting some seeds in the ground today.Yesterday, during stay-at-home, I processed another 700 pieces of 223 brass. Lubed, sized, trimmed, deburred, wet tumbled.
Rather than batch process all at once, I would do them in batches of about 150 at a time, until I had enough to fill the wet tumbler. I may repeat the process today.
That's the only way I can mentally wrap my head around it.Yesterday, during stay-at-home, I processed another 700 pieces of 223 brass. Lubed, sized, trimmed, deburred, wet tumbled.

Does this mean we’ll see you at matches again?
One more exam and then boards. Hoping to come back ASAP. Love that I finished right when all the matches got shut down.Does this mean we’ll see you at matches again?
Finished the 300 Winchesters I had prepped, 250 rounds.........Most with 100 Raptors at 3900 fps. Loaded a few 130 Raptors at 3480 fps, and a few 130 Solids at 3400 fps.
I've been doing just that. I've loaded 300 so far on my Lee single stage.If I continue to “work from home”, I’m going to run out of reloading components. Loaded another couple hundred 9mm blue bullets. I think I need to uncover a single stage press and load some 223.

I lied. I loaded ten and said I better test these...Today I will size a few hundred more maybe.
And load yesterday's.
#OverachieverRan all the power cords down through the bench to the power strip. No more spaghetti mess of wires on top of the bench.
Makes it easier to pick up all the primers that fall out cause I did something stupid.#Overachiever
Bless you!For the past four days my reloading shed has become my sewing room. Making masks for local ED nurses and also for some nurses that I know in Fredericksburg, Va. that asked for some. I am done for now with that and hopefully will be back to reloading later today.
Well, I finally filled up that 5 gallon bucket with 223 brass. Fully prepped - swaged, sized, trimmed, chamfered, wet tumbled. Then I proceeded to load 200 rounds of 55 fmj plinking ammo.
I sure didn't do it in one sitting!I feel your pain, sized, swaged, trimmed, chamfered and tumbled about 500 this week and that didn’t hardly make a dent my 5 gal bucket of 223 brass. That is alot of work for sure.
what did you use to pull? i have about 1k rejects I need to pull and really don't want to do it with the frankford bullet pullerPulled 2k ish rounds. A few years worth of rejects. Took a while but they are done.

I’m not sure I could decide that was something I wanted to do.Pulled 2k ish rounds. A few years worth of rejects. Took a while but they are done.
I don’t recommend it. If I wasn’t bored from this lockdown stuff I would not have.I’m not sure I could decide that was something I wanted to do.
