Thank you GW Staar and 9mmepiphany for the recognition. Definitely not looking for any really though. GW Staar told me when I first made the $28 bullet feeder that I should market it somehow, but I really didn't feel I should. Just a way to give back to the community. This is pretty cool...
The brass will start to tarnish regardless on how it is stored. What I like to do is to tumble in corn with nufinish for 1-2 hours to remove the case lube. They come out like super shiny and the polish protects it from tarnishing.
For an AR, I generally only shoot 2 bullets....Hornady 55gr FMJ-BT over H335 is my plinking round and a 77gr SMK over Varget as my long range match round. I do have a 1:7 twist though. Not all 1:9 twist rifles can handle the 77gr.
My budget red dot AR only gets Hornady 55gr FMJ-BT over H335.
It looks like you have about a 2" group at 200 yrds in wind which is very nice for any AR not costing 2K+
In my old R700 SPS-V I ran 44.2gr Varget with a 168SMK and it shot between 1/4 - 1/2MOA rested at 100yrds pretty consistently. Same results with a 178 Amax but dropped the charge down to 44gr and still had an avg of 2690fps.
In my newer Tikka T3 Tactical 24" barrel, I run 44.8gr Varget with a...
I deprime with a progressive press. Stated with a LNL AP, then a Dillon XL650 and now a Super 1050. Just use a shop vac or compressed air to blow out the crud.
Since you use a LNL AP, it is even easier for you since the does are all QD.
If you really want another press to do this, get a Lee...
R700 SPS Varmint 308 with a Vortex Viper PST FFP 6-24-50. The rest is stock.
I sold the R700 and went with a Tikka T3 Tactical 24" with a Super Sniper HD 6.5-20x50. The rest is stock.
I am personally a big fan of Bushnell scopes. It's not on your list, but is an excellent scope for the money.
I have one on my 22LR AR15 and works great.

Only thing I can say I designed is the $28 Bullet Feeder for any progressive
Tips I have picked up over the years....
Buy once, cry once
You can never have enough components
ALWAYS remember to close the drain valve on a RCBS Chargemaster
For our brass processing service we use a polymer drum cement mixer with 20/40 grit corn. It works pretty good, but a vibratory tumbler does the job faster.
We also use a homemade stainless steel tumbler which no other tumbling method can compare to. Is it more work, yes, but well worth it...
