What did you do at your reloading bench today?

Nothing yesterday. I was on the road. The night before, I sighted in my 6mm ARC, 6.5 Grendel, and the 308 M24 clone. All shot well. It's been a long while since I've shot anying with out a muzzle break or with a can. My shoulder was certainly letting me know my age yesterday.

Very interesting! I have to chuckle at the pricing stickers though. Can't help but wonder who was President when that tray was priced?

Yeah, couldn’t sell it at a buck so had to give a 12% discount, I picked it up at a gunshow many years ago but I’m sure I paid several dollars for it.

I fiddled with the m expander and flare attachment for my RCBS Pro 2000. I don't like the attachment for the 9mm. It's essentially a 38 cal m expander. You have to run it all the way down to the bottom of a 9mm case to reach the flare portion of the m- expander.

That makes some funky looking cartriges. I honestly think it would be best to buy a second 38 cal expander and trim off half the m-expander, shortening the whole thing.

Anywho, I went back to my Harrells schutzen powder dropper and whipped out another 200. 125grn 9mm.

I broke down on 308 day and ordered a bunch of bullets from Raven Rock. Ostensibly, they are for the 700 PSS shooting 165-168grain 308 loads. I also snagged a burst fire brass annealer. I've now loaded much of my 6mm ARC, 300 Blackout, 6.5x55 enough that an anneal makes a good deal of sense.

I'm still fussing with the RCBS case-activated powder dropper and flaring 9mm cases. Honestly, as much as I've dicked with this silly thing, I think I am simply going to size, decap, and prime off press. It's faster, cleaner, and much simpler than trying to run a 5-station progressive doing those steps.
