    I am 8600 into my 9000 winter build up of 40 S&W will finish today. Then convert the 550 to 9mm for my 3000 that will be it this winter then it can just warm up.

    Press is set up to run aluminum pull down primed 9mm cases for my competition loads ATM. I'm going to run a big batch of those and switch over to .223 or 6.5G next.

    I'm planning on working up some 230 grain Barnes TSX loads for my .375 Ruger this weekend.



    Next up is Sierra 125 grainers to try out in the .31-08 in case I get snipish on a coyote.

    Speaking of which, this week the wife and I were headed up 39 towards North Judson and off in a field was what for all the world looked like a white coyote.
    Could have been somebody's white dog? Freezing his self out there for why and what? Beats me.
    Sure looked like a yote except for the camo.

    I saw a white coyote earlier this year as well though far, far south of North Judson. I believe the one I saw had some dog mixed in, the tail looked more like a dog's tail but the rest of the body looked like a coyote.

    Waiting on a few things to arrive and then 6.5G will be rolling hot off the press. In the mean time I have been doing some brass prep for both handgun and rifle. A sorter would be quite the useful tool tomorrow. haha

    I restocked with supplies today at the 1500. Purchased 1000 9mm 115 gr, 1000 38sp 125gr, 500 44mag 240gr, and 2 lbs of CFE 223. The plan is to send about 500 9mm through the 650 tomorrow.

    Just finished up 72 rounds of 44 mag for the deer rifle. Have more brass tumbling now and hope to finish off some more Sunday before the football games start. I found some nickel brass so some for the model 29 should be made with them.

    9mm today. Because of my mechanical background, I have to know machine performance statistics (good, bad, or indifferent), so timed myself and made 100 rounds in just under 12 minutes with my 650 (no case feeder). I am comfortable at that pace and feel safe extrapolating that to 500 rounds an hour.

    I can offically reload faster than I can shoot.

    I just loaded up 500 rounds of .45 ACP using Xtreme PLATED 200 gr. SWCs.

    First time ever using plated SWCs rather than the standard coated lead bullets. They look nice, load well, and seem to shoot well in my 1911. I will have to get serious and do a head-to-head comparison with my coated rounds to see how they compare.

    Probably apple to oranges, but I've found with my 9mm and 38 special guns/loads that I get better groups by bumping up the velocities using the plated bullets compared to coated.

    Coated, for me, usually group best in the lower to middle powder throw range where the plated seem to be happier in the middle to upper range. This is using fast to medium fast powders and recipes geared towards plinking/ target use.

    Just finished 12,000 total since November. 14,000 + onhand. Now it can warm up so I can send it flying.
