Still playing with my 300gr 44 mag subsonic rounds. Sent 20 rounds downrange yesterday. I am working on my long range pistol skills right now.

I have a LONG way to go.

 

[rransford]

Currently reloading 308 and 357. I am going to be getting into 300 Blackout for deer this year and once I get a 22-250, I will be doing that for coyote this year.

My luck has rubbed off on you!

 

[Wolfhound]

Reloading bunches of 223 lately. Purchased a little crow trimmer and I really like it. Much faster than the cheap Lee trimmer.

Hey bro......Lee dies........223 rem.........

Aaron

Did you accidentally try to deprime a Berdan primed cartridge? Or maybe use the wrong shell holder and the cartridge shifted while depriming? I have done that :-(. I have never busted a primer pin. In the Lee die the pin is part of the ball that sizes the neck (unless you are using the universal die?). If the die is set up right the pin should just push out the top instead of breaking the pin.

Did you look to see if you did just push the pin back out the top of the die? I am pretty sure you would have check but I gotta ask :-). Lee might send you a pin for free if you call them. But they probably aren't expensive. 90% of my dies are Lee's. They claim their pin us unbreakable but I am sure anything can be broke lol. I like my Lee dies.

Call me some time, we will catch up on current projects! Take care my friend!

 

[55fairlane]

Aguila 233 ...flash hole really of center took an hour to decapping it with a small punch

 

[55fairlane]

And this is my quick trim....cutter gaulded it's self time the die.....





Aren't those steel shavings nice?

Lee is going to replace everything....and add a part,because they think I got junk.....thank you Lee!

Larry, I will ring you soon....been busy with my 2 gun match and CMP matches.....

Gotta do dinner soon.....

Holy crap Aaron! That's bad! Gotta hand it to Lee for there CS though. Although all the company's seem to be really good when it comes to CS on reloading parts and pieces. I like the Lee price best. But I do have RCBS, Hornady and Redding dies too.

And I really like the Lee quick trim setup. I have dies for every caliber I load. I Plus I have even modified a couple for the Leverevolution 44mag and 45-70's. I also like the quick change bushing setup on my breach lock press. I can swap my dies easily without having to do any setup.

Have fun with the match stuff. I know you are awesome at it. I have only been able to make on range trip so far this year. My health has sucked. I am having another procedure on my back on the 4th of next month. I am hopeful I will be able to get some shooting in yet this fall. I would dearly love to get a deer this year too. We shall see! Take care.
