Oh ya you know that turns you on....

Just completed 760 rounds of 223.

Shootest · August 22, 2011, 06:18 PM

Nice stock pile, looks good, what press did you use?
I just completed 1000 38Spl. and 1800 9mm, for a total of 2800 rounds in the same day. I just love the XL 650.

Now, the rest of the fun is in boxing them up.

Man, you just can't leave them in a big pile.

serf 'rett · August 22, 2011, 06:49 PM

Ya need any help in emptying those cases so you can reload some more?

PA-Joe · August 23, 2011, 06:08 AM

I hope you tested that load first!

praetorian97 · August 23, 2011, 08:04 AM

What do you mean? Im going to test that load 760 times. Hehe

I have. It's 55 FMJ 24.3Gr of H335.

I loose packed them between two 30mm ammo cans. My long term Zombie rounds get stripper clipped and boxed up. These are my weekly shooters. Up to 3400. Like to get to 6k so I can get through a whole summer of range days but think I may stop at 4k.

Lets see yours....I know Im not the only guy that will get a batch done and just stare at its beauty....

mikld · August 24, 2011, 10:53 AM

So, what are you going to do after the first hour of shooting?

"You can never have TOO MANY bullets".

Nor too many cartridges!

pratorean, what are you planning on shooting those in?

praetorian97 · August 24, 2011, 02:54 PM

I run my AR15 and Springfield XD almost every weekend.

Reloading saves me so much on ammo.

farmerboy · August 24, 2011, 04:20 PM

Nice, good looking AR, bet you have a blast!!!!!!

praetorian97 · August 24, 2011, 04:49 PM

We def do!

Heres the kind of shooting we go out and do.

I don't think he's going to tell us about this press, Shootest.

Shootest · August 24, 2011, 10:13 PM

I think you may be correct TXGunNut

praetorian97 · August 24, 2011, 11:08 PM

Oh I missed that!

Some on a single stage RCBS and now I use a Lee Classic Turret.

Progressive someday

need more guns first.

alongston · August 25, 2011, 08:42 AM

Nice!

TXGunNut · August 25, 2011, 08:14 PM

Thanks!

I used to do .223's on a single stage, no prob keeping up with a T/C Contender but not likely to keep up with a mouse gun. I'm thinking a turret may be better than a progressive but that's probably because I don't have a turret. Looks like it's working quite well for you.
