    When I load pistol rounds I usually sit down and load as much as I can until I run out of something.

    With rifle I tend to load as much as I need. Usually 50-100 rounds depending on the caliber and use. So I tend to load for rifle more often. I also load rifle rounds a lot slower so I may spend a few afternoons loading the rifle rounds when case prep is factored in.

    Finished 50 rounds of .223. I was about out of 69g SMK loads. I'm prepping for some longer range shooting next month.

    My technique as well.

    I don't load pistol rounds often but when I do it's a bunch at one time. I also don't shoot them as often it seems.

    Rifle rounds (except plinking 223 rounds) get much more care and are smaller batches. Seems I am always testing something so usually just 50 at a time.

    Loaded up 20 rounds of 6.5 CM using a different powder for testing. I'm usually a person who once finds a good load, I stop. I'm just not sure I've got the best one yet. I'm getting into the "why bother" zone though.

    Picked up a Lyman flash hole tool and uniformer. Prepped 67 FC brass and 47 win brass. Uniforming sucks more than reaming. I only have to do it once, right?

    Gunz are icky.
    I've been mulling over buying a new Dillon Square Deal B.
    The old one is so worn out as to be useless.
    Still can't decide if I want to get it in 10mm or .38/357.

    I'll be back here soon. I prepped an old style coffee can(the big tin ones you can put your whole hand in and not scrape the sides!)brimming with LC 556.

    I guess if I was the criminal type now would be the time to go on a stealing spree cause I sure as shootin got no fingerprints cause they got burned off using the triway trimmer; they're still tingly.

    Sadlak is mounted and sighted in for 1" groups at 100yds with surplus ammo so I'm abut to get on with some loading!

    Dillon will rebuild it for you...it has a lifetime warranty...you just pay shipping. That's a lot cheaper than buying another one.

    I use those gloves with the rubbery shit on the palm/fingers. Well, I just wear the one, like Michael Jackson but cooler.
