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. |

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. |

My motto personified! "You can never have TOO MANY bullets".

I run my AR15 and Springfield XD almost every weekend.
Reloading saves me so much on ammo. Last edited by praetorian97; August 24, 2011 at 04:02 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.
