What kind of luck do you have getting your own brass back?Well I loaded 80 ads of 6.5 CM for the Frontline Match next weekend. Also made me a jig to mark my cases so I can Identify them easier in the pile of brass after each stage.
Well I've only shot one match and I wasn't sure how to mark them for it so I marked the primer ( Big Mistake lol ) You had to pick them all up to tell which was yours. I got back probably 70% of them. I noticed after the first stage people were marking them around the case body so you could instantly tell who's was who's. They were also using multiple colors and schemes which made it easier. I decided to start marking mine with a hot pink sharpie between the case rim and case body. This way I can look down and see which might be mine without having to pick up all of them. On some of the stages it was easier than others because of the type of barricade you're shooting from. The ones where your shooting off of concrete pipes and stuff were hard to find them because they would fall down between the crevices. I hope to do better at getting them back this next time. I want to get a good system down before I start buying $1 a piece brass lolWhat kind of luck do you have getting your own brass back?

What’s this “spud”, and can this be done with a Dillon crimp die?Yesterday I learned shoving 40 brass through a gutted Lee FCD backward on a 9mm bullet sizing spud does a much better job of restoring it than going mouth first like they say you should with a Bulge Buster kit, less effort and zero rejects.
Very nice @ClickerAnd i thought ice cream was addictive. I'm trying to stop all this casting ....
Looks good!Modified my bench. Bench is sturdy metal, top was not. Attached 2x8's to the top and extended it 26" to the side for my presses. More to come tomorrow but it's dang sturdy now. Less than $40 invested and some know how.
Pardon my mess, it has to be messy before it can be finished.
