Ordered a 500 case of the 180gr HST bullets... Anyone ever loaded them? I normally used Berry 180gr RN

Hot enough to leave a nice little circle scar on my right biceps. This was a 180gr .40 with 5.9gr of Unique.

Thanks, Lucke. Got some of the 55gr. I really want to hold out for some 70gr+ bullets...

Agreed. I paid ~$45 for 1k shipped in November. That same guy is now selling it for $130 shipped.

I have the die (since it came with my kit) but I don't crimp my .223.

I need some 70-75gr .224 bullets :( EDIT: Nevermind. bds found some. :)

That Giraud does look awesome. The $400 price tag doesn't. :(

Yeah, they stopped taking back orders a while back.

I know .223 can be tedious. One thing I hate doing is trimming. I currently use the Lyman Case Trimmer. When I start prepping my .223, I will tumble all my brass one day, trim all of it another day, etc. So trimming 1k+ cases on the Lyman can be very tiresome. My question is, does anyone trim...

I wish it was more consistent between one book to the other. My Richard Lee book may say 14 grains, but then the powder can might say 13 grains or something.... Starting grains in one of my pistol loads in one book was the max load in another book...

This may have been posted in the past, but I recently came across it and loved it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zkZTmWZOFGY&feature=youtube_gdata_player

I have ~120 unprocessed .45 small primer brass. Might be a few large primer cases mixed in. I don't reload .45 so no real need for it.

Local gun store had 2k CCI SPP for $36/k. Did not buy. I'm not buying stuff to flip on gunbroker. My supplies of SPP and SRP were brought from Powdervalley a while back for $26/k

Storage, they are put into $3 paint cans. No need to spend $12+ on an ammo can. Cans will hold ~1k .40. ~500 7.62x39. ~600-700 5.56. Not pictured, but they also can hold ~200 7.62x54R When I go to the range, I throw them into Sample Racks.

Lee Pro 1000 for my pistol and Lee Single Stage for Rifle.
