    I organized a little on my bench and resized a few handfuls each of 7-08, 243, 308, 460, and 454. Then started sizing some 9s. Got hot so I went inside. Also got a box in yesterday from midway with a few boxes of 7mm eld-m I won in yet another raffle.

    Heck! I forgot I tested some 7.62x54 loads on labor day. The brass I had was graf headstamp. The brass has some rings and ridges on it and wouldn't fully chamber. I was pretty pissed about it. I'm gonna have to either file down the messed up spots or find some new brass.

    Loaded up the last of my jacketed bullets for .357 mag. Sad face. Need to find some more. Made some 6.5 CM rounds and sorted a bunch of .223/5.56 brass by headstamp.

    I cut a couple open and they were fine. They don't all have that ring. Some are just scuffed on one side. It looks like mfg issues. I'll try to get a couple pics of some of the other brass later.

    I got my RCBS chargmaster lite finally. Loaded some .300wm hunting loads and I am wondering why I didnt buy it sooner
    I had a Pact2 scale and dispenser years ago. Really liked it, sold it to a friend when downsizing to move to Texas.

    I have debated buying another automatic powder thrower, or a nice beam scale (I have a Lee safety beam scale)

    Really? Please go into detail. What makes it superior?

    Well I went from using a really crappy hornady electric scale so anything is better than my experience with that. The chargemaster does all the work for me. Manually trickling on to a scale that likes to jump around all the time was way too much of a PITA for me.

    I think what I like the best is that I can run the next charge on the chargemaster while I seat the bullet on the current cartridge

    Bought some more 300 blk brass. Lubed a bunch of them. Watched some more reloading vids on YouTube. Bought a Lee factory crimp die for my 300 blk ammo. Bought some Hornady 180grain sst bullets for hunting rounds.

    Now I need to get a tumbler to clean the last bunch of brass I got since it was once fired brass from a local range ( or so I hope it was all once fired )

    My SIL found a widower wanting to sell ALL of his reloading gear for one price. I bought it. One Dillon 650 w/case feed set up for 9mm, 2 550's with numerous heads, primers, & bullets. A MEC Sizemaster 12ga with wads, shot, and primers. 2 older turrent presses, Lyman and Redding. It's like Christmas around here.

    Nice. So Merry Christmas to you.
