I messed around with stuff today a bit. I turned the die down about 1 more full turn in the press and sized some brass. The cam over was pretty hard but I was getting consistent .002-.003 shoulder bump. I’m going to take the die to work and take about .010 off the base in one of the lathes...

Steve - the AP is my only press at this time. Jim - all of the rounds I’ve made to this point have chambered without issue and pass the case gauge no problem. I got the headspace gauge thinking that I could be overworking the brass and wanted to see if I could use this tool to help extend...

I’ve been reloading .223 for a little bit now with no issue. I finally broke down and bought a Hornady headspace gauge to check my shoulder bump. I’ve been using a Dillion case gauge to check rounds with no issue but I went through and sized a few rounds that I fired from my AR (PMC and LC...

Let us know how you like it once it arrives.

I've been eyeballing this unit. Looks pretty solid and seems to work with all the standard bullet feeder dies. http://socalsw.com/Mag-P-Large-40-cal-45ACP_p_30.html

If you're going to cut it down, you might look into .277 Wolverine too. Depends on what you want to use the round for.

And what's wrong with using the factory barrel?

Put extra packing in the box when you sell me the case feeder for the LNL? :rofl: While my LNL hangs up empty cases on the ejection nub from time to time, as long as I do my part with full strokes of the handle, it always indexes correctly and primes. Congrats on the purchase of the 650.

Looking at a bullet feeder for the LNL and ran across this site. http://socalsw.com/ Basically has 2 options, one is an adapter to use the Lee multi-tube bullet feeder on top of the hornady bullet die or use his custom feeder which is like the Lee only bigger for more capacity. Anyone here...

You are correct, I'm not the sharpest tool sometimes.

I like that idea a lot. Especially since in the new house I build in a few years SWMBO has already Ok'd a dedicated room in the house for the reloading/gun room instead of it being out in the shop. I just need to come up with a decent design on cabinets/bench that I can store everything neatly...

That is some snazzy excel work. I love me some excel, I use it everyday at work but not for drawing.

That rules out the yeti then...barrels are only offered in AR10 profiles currently.

.358 yeti maybe? AR10 out for sure or would you rather just have a bolt gun?

The green handle ones are the ones I currently use. I have 3 of the largest ones they make for .223, 9mm and .45 that are full with an additional 5 gallons of 9mm needing to be cleaned and processed. I may get some 15 gallon barrels (guy sells metals ones locally on CL for 10 bucks with a lid...

I have a ton of brass and I’m trying to come up with a better way to store it. Currently I’m using the clear totes from Walmart and I have two of the largest ones full of .223 and 9mm (with more to put in them) and 3 of the next size down for the other calibers I shoot. I’m interested to...

Happy New Year everyone. Only thing happening for me on the bench today is sorting the .380 out of the 5 gallons of it and 9mm mixed together. I'm down to the last gallon or so but it's 45 or so in the shop and single digits outside so I'm only doing a little at a time here and there today.

I used my HF tumbler for a couple of years without issue. I then made a single canister with 4" PVC that is the total width of both drums combined. Didn't gain much other than I don't have to deal with 2 drums now. Other than the occasional belt giving out, my tumbler has done probably 100K...

My favorite load is 25 gr. of Benchmark, 55 gr Hornady SP W/C, loaded at 2.25 for my AR with a 1:8 twist barrel. Even with a crappy 4 x 32 scope on it, it usually shoots sub MOA as long as I do my part.

Are you simply sizing or are these fully loaded cartridges? My LNL will do this if the brass is just getting sized. Hornady says it's because there's not enough top heavy weight to keep it from jamming. Mine has never jammed on loaded cartridges.
