I just wanted to share. I called today out of curiosity and they said still no ETAs on anything, and they haven't received and info from federal on LRPs since a year ago. She encouraged me to buy products if I can find them elsewhere (which I have done :) ) and that there were other people in...

Hi All, I would like you all to attend my celebration of my one year anniversary with my Sinclair backorder. I can't believe it, but it was a full year ago when I first met the backordered items and loved them so much I just had to order them. Still missing 3 lbs of powder and 2k primers...

Yeah I canceled them, I am sitting on 3k CCI SR primers anyway so no need to get more. The post saying that CCI SR and REM 6 1/2 have the same cup thickness makes me wonder though.

Thanks guys had no idea. I do some research and decide.

Can you elaborate on this? I have some 6 1/2s on backorder for use with .223. Are there any issues if all I plan on using them for is plinking?

I shot about 50 of the rounds this weekend! They functioned flawlessly. No accuracy testing yet, was using my 16" AR and was just shooting reactive targets. I checked for "pressure signs" (not sure what that might be, cases weren't ruptured or discolored, mouths seemed within spec. I'll...

HAHA! I prefer a nice room temperature glass of Macallan 18 year.

Thanks all, I'll rinse them off from now on after resizing.

For what reason? Do you double clean? Is leaving a little hornady one shot on the case bad for the round?

I just reloaded my first batch of 200 plinking rounds for my AR. I deprime on a universal deprimer, wet tumble, spray with a little Hornady one shot lube, resize, trim, chamfer & deburr, prime, charge, and seat bullets. Should I be wet tumbling the cases again after resizing and trimming...

Cool!!!! Jealous of all that brass! I went with the harbor freight 6LB dual drum rock tumbler, and I wet tumble. It can handle about 120 cases of 223 at once, every 3 hours, with some hot water, dawn, and a little lemi shine. More than enough for my meager shooting needs...

Feelings hurt? The reason I come here is to learn. If I'm making a dangerous mistake I would be hopeful someone would tell me. So thanks. Haha. But yes, I certainly did not work up a load. I do not think any will be dangerous though as I was well under the 27.8 grain max loading on all...

Yes I weighed about 75 shots of powder all through out the process of charging the cases. It took me a very long time to do everything because I was double checking so much. All shots were between 26.4 and 27.0 grains, with the number 26.6 grains being the most seen in my mind. So with my...

Also one more question. Overall case length is recommended to be 2.200" with 55gr fmj spire point bullets. I did them all around there, 2.198 to 2.202". The bullets seemed to be a bit far back. Is that just inexperience talking?

I have 200 loaded rounds so far, I decided to stop and double check the hreadspacing on the next batch of 150. If only I had more time for this...

Stavman, I just did a few more with your technique, still not as easy as boat tails but a lot faster than last night. To resolve the powder thrower issue, I had done a piss poor job of degreasing. I took it apart today and noticed a lot of powder stuck on the walls and in the...

Thanks for the responses guys. It seems I may have started with too many rounds. Let me see if I can respond to some of the questions: Yes I chamfered and deburred the cases that I trimmed only. I only trimmed cases that had a case length longer than 1.758". I used a standard cheap tool...

After waiting 8 months for a brownells backorder, I ordered some SR primers from Midway and got crankin. Have about 350 rounds of once fired REM UMC BRASS. Hornady kit, hornady case trimmer, RCBS FL rifle dies, CFE 223 powder. Loading for my AR15, more or less plinking rounds before I get...

I "bit the bullet" and placed another order for primers from midway last week. They will be delivered today, and I'll start reloading next time at the cabin in a week or two! Can't wait. Now that there is less urgency, I'll leave the brownells stuff on B/O as I have already invested shipping...

Thanks for the suggestions guys. Hate sounding like a whiner. I just want to get the stuff before the "SAFE" act deadline. Don't get me started on that.
