Not really.
I don't even think I have an as built wiring diagram.
I put it together in 3 days during the scamdemic lockdown with parts I had laying around.
There is someone who sells a PLC for it on Cast boolits forum named HATCH.

Nice! Thanks for sharing.
Deprimed the brass from my short after work range trip. Also swaged and deburred the flash holes on the Norma .223 brass I fired. Kinda disappointed that I didn't get to shoot the 7mm RM loads I made last night, there was a guy hogging the 100 yd benches with his stuff, and he was very unfriendly.
I went to the 50yd side and chronoed some stuff out of my 12.5" SBR. The new lot of TAC/75's shoots as well as I can out of it, and chronos at ~2500fps. Definitely have to load up more now!

Trimmed down and deburred another 300 batch of LC11 5.56mm brass. Made it through an episode of Miami Vice, and half way through an episode of The Unit; I've seen them so many times, I don't have to watch them, but I know whats going on...

Those look mean.
Made some supper and got the kiddo ready for bed. Went downstairs to the bench. First time actually working with enforcer.
Reeeeaaaalllly fine. Then my daughter brought a dummy round out of the box to show me it looked “ jus like dis lon one in the book”( just like this long one in the book for those not fluent in three year old)
by George she’s right.
loaded up some “testers”. 16.2-17.8 gr of enforcer. Then messed with resizing a couple of primed 357 that were squashed and wrinkled at some point.
By that point kiddo was tired. Made it to “the curious Crandalls who sleepwalk on hills with assorted sized candles” from dr Suess sleep book before she was asleep. She was very excited about “making bullets for grandpas big pistol…”
Went out to the mailbox expecting there to be a reloading book I’ve had ordered forever, but…!!!! Grrr
I’ve gotten so many of these I think I’ll use them to start the fire for my old powder sparkling display!!! And no book.

Good job dad, you're a good egg. Children are a blessing.
2500fps out of a 12.5in barrel?? That's actually pretty good! I think PMC 77gr match stuff states 2490fps? on the box??
The 12.5's don't lose as much velocity vs a 16" as I expected! Factory Norma 55gr was running 2697fps avg in the 12.5", I thought that was great!

There's no replacement for displacement.....
Huh, I need to chronograph my 24in 223Wylde DMR... I bet the 52gr Hornady bthps I loaded up with a max charge of TAC are screaming!! I'm also interested in what M193 ball does...
I was close, 2420fps is what PMC xtac match 77gr is rated at. No barrel length is given. We might take a box of this to chronograph through a 10.5in and 24in barrel.
Yes, that's all full ammo cans, but remember we are an FFL and sell at gun shows so that's why.
Also, @JmacD , check out our stash of 158gr 357 mag! Need to get our website actually worked out and then we can sell stuff online as well.

I wanna say we chronographed some 77gr stuff before and got like 2000fps out of a 10.5 barrel? I think it was the same PMC stuff actually. So we will have to load some up ourselves! We've got an 8lb jug of TAC just begging to be turned into loud noises! Dad got 3 100ct boxes of Hornady 68gr bthps stupid cheap not too long ago, so we have some stuff to mess with. I have one box of their 75gr bthps as well. Man, now I want a long barrel 243 (22-250 brass is kinda hard to get, otherwise I'd go with that) AR-10 for a true speed demon... I think Hornady makes a 60gr 243 bullet? Yep, 65gr V-Max!
Wait, I have a perfectly good 25-06!! I have some Hornady varmint 87gr soft point bullets but idk if my 1in7.5 twist would blow them up or not...

As I recall,!Hornady has a 75 gr vmax for the quarter bores that’s good to 4k fps. I knew a guy that was running 50 some gr of one of the 4350s and was getting all of that.

Loaded 50 rounds of 243 with cast bullets. A few different loads of each.
I've succumbed to temptation while sitting in the reloading room this morning. I've been eying a single stage press for a while (been using the lee turret for this), and debating for weeks on a new powder measure or dispenser. Threw the RCBS Summit/ChargeMaster Link combo in the cart at RCBS' site- showed 399 package price, in the cart it worked out to 318$ shipped. Now to find a inline fab plate...
Nice!

I started lubing and resizing 9mm 124 grain cast bullets. I found a lifetime supply of bullet lube, and so I started to cast and lube and resize 9mm bullets for target practice. I got everything else including a ton of lead. It gives me something to do when not babysitting the grand kids, cutting the grass or shoveling snow.

I have a bunch of factory .223/5.56mm clocked through my AR's... primarily my 16" 1/9 RRA, and my 20" Colt H-bar. It's interesting to see the differences.
The M193 seems to shoot about 100fps faster than 55grn .223
I only lose about 100fps between my 16" AR, and my 20" H-bar, generally speaking.
Federal LC and Winchester LC clocked the same from the 16" AR. Although it is produced to the same contract requirements, I was curious to see if it changed at all.
The fastest 55grn ammos is the foreign stuff I've shot... Norinco, Malaysian.

Decapped and now wet tumbling 100ish 45acp from Thursday’s range visit. Dawn, lemishine, and pins.
Like 9mms I did yesterday, will let these go two hours in hopes of removing that unacceptable Sharpie shadow. I know it won’t but not sure three hours would either.
To avoid future problem, no longer marking mid case and now just marking in ejection grove and around primer.
No recurrence of loose primer anomaly reported elsewhere.

Couldn’t sleep last night so I started sorting through the miscellaneous .40 cases I found. Around 2AM I got frustrated trying to figure what stage of processing each pile was and just tossed them all in an oyster bucket. Now I know what stage they are: 0!
I’ll start like they were untouched Sunday - Saturday is already planned out to the last minute.
