    Dies and trimmer for 6 creed shipped today.
    Maybe I'll order some premium brass in a week or two.
    Gonna play with the Hornady for a litte while.

    Bought a 38 Lee loader and some .45-70 bullets. De primed a couple hundred spent 38 cases, and cleaned out the pockets.

    I don’t have enough room for a fancy rig.

    Hornady 6mm creed necked down. There are a couple options for correct head stamp now from Hornady and Alpha.

    Out of stock right now.

    They make good stuff. I've been shooting 6 creed for 3 or more years so I've got a large surplus of hornady that and it has done well for me.

    Loaded the last 115gr Berrys I had, after dinner tonight. I'm really getting the hang of my process now that i have all dies & powder flow set up.

    cruising the forums between rounds of decapping and pin tumbling.

    And trying to decide if I to sell a press to add a press, and if so which press to get.

    Slowly working my way back into 308 loading after a six to eight year hiatus. This was after shooting my chronograph through the eye!

    What press are you thinking of selling and which are you thinking of getting?

    What's the goal?

    Goal is to be able to produce small batches of ammo quickly without upsetting the production line I have AND not pissing away hard to come by funds.
    Two of my buddies have a 650 and a 550 each, one for large batches and one for small batches. One of them also has a Lyman Tmag and a large budget and reloads for a lot of friends.

    I’ve been reading too much but I’m seeing the value in having a turret for quick output of rounds but I’m still decapping .mil brass and if I move my Lee cast single stage and mount my LNL(including changing setup from 223 to 9mm)it may be a while before I get back to decapping all that 9mm!

    I briefly considered selling my Lee but that’s not going to happen so it’s down to Redding T7 or Lyman turret.

    Dang, now I’m tired!

    Blue won’t be happening in this closet and I told you why: too much tooledge for the LNL for me to change, I’m too old to change and I don’t honk I could hang with two hands doing two different things. It’s a recipe for mikey to chop off part of a thumbprint!

    Somewhere along the line I heard(read or watched a video)keep your right hand on the handle of the LNL and you won’t have any issues. In my case this is true.

    And yes, it’s true: I’m a brass whore and EZ-E is in training to be one too.

    Brass whoring isn’t whoring as long as it’s your own brass but pick up one 9mm that’s not yours and you’re a whore for life.

    I figure if folks are going to leave their brass there it becomes free!

    Has anyone called a bum a can whore? Well!

    We all does whats we cans. Some people work, I whore brass. And when there’s no brass to whore I buy nasty 1X and clean it up.

    Yeah I guess you dont need a Dillon when you have 3 friends with them. And you dont need to be chopping thumb prints off either.

    You need to quit lollygagging & just pull the trigger on the Lyman already.
