    Returned some ELD-Xs I picked up by mistake. Thinking of using the store credit to get some 45 HAPs. The XTPs work great in my XDm so I think I'm gonna stick to copper bullets.

    Filed down a de-capping pin to make it fit through a small primer hole. De-primed 4 rounds, and broke the pin.

    I've called Redding before about decapping pins and they send the appropriate one needed for free.

    Starting to realize I need a more active hobby. Standing around at the reloading bench is giving me a tactical muffin top.

    Hoping I don’t need to start over with load development and the groups just shrink a little bit.

    I load a LOT on my dillon 1050s... started loading on a 550, and I only got some single stage presses in the last year or so... I really HATE priming on a single stage...so I finally bought a Lyman e-zee prime to see what it was like...

    Today I primed 208 6.5 Grendel cases while watching TV... for low volume ammo I think this is going to be my go to method from now on.

    Looks something like this.




    The brake does a good job of redirecting the smell of burnt money back to your face.

    That's a pretty cool video. I took my dad and my father in law out on separate trips in February. We we taking turns using the AR at 300 yards and using the Ruger with the 6-24 to spot. It was the first time I've ever actually seen vapor trail before it was pretty cool to watch!

    Spent about an hour drawing up a custom reloading block I'm cutting out of delrin on my CNC router.

    Have a few more things to do and I'll post pics.
