Hey guys, I've been lurking here for quite a while.. and been doing a LOT of reading. I just thought I'd share with you my first batch of loads and see what you guys think. My process -
I used the Lyman 1200 Pro to tumble my dirty brass. 6 hours.
With this media -
This is how my first batch of 50 turned out.
200 gr. Missouri Bullet LSWC
Left side - 5.2g Win 231
Right side - 5.6 Win 231
Winchester WLP primer
The only problem that I'm having, is that my OAL on the rounds varies quite a bit from round to round.. 1.230 - 1.260 Without touching the press..
A little picture of my setup -
Some of you may recognize these.. They work well for helping the stupid Lee powder dispenser give consistent loads..
This set of 50 took me just over an hour and a half. Is that decent for a 1st timer? I've loaded all new FMJ rounds, but never loaded used brass or SWC's... I hope to speed up the process without buying a progressive..
