Not today, but just lately. Be been working up a .556 load using:
75 grain Hornady BTHP
Shooters World Tactical Rifle powder
WCC brass
Wolf magnum primers
Settled on 24.1 grains, averaging 2615 fps from a 16" barrel.
After loading up some more, went back to the range to sight in my Mueller red dot sight at 100 yards. 22LR shell for reference.

Does 1100 rounds of 45acp over the weekend count?
Might take my son a few trips to the range to put a sizable dent in that.

I'm no OWB expert, but the shape of the holster holds the shape of the trigger. Is that supposed to be like that? It does not pull on the trigger when you pull the pistol out of the holster? educate me.
That was a concern when inserting the gun in the holster, not for drawing the gun. When the kydex is formed the trigger is at rest, so it forms at rest. I did have mostly your same concern out of caution, so I tried it several times unloaded, holstering didn't pull the trigger. Then I removed the gun and heated that area up a little just to relieve the trigger impression a slight bit for added peace of mind.
Update: I wore the holster for 5 days on a trip to FL, in FL and back. I found that the grip still sticks out a little from the think rubber spacers between the leather parts and the back side of the kydex and the belt loops I purchase are for a super think belt. Being overly cautious about printing (***) I put the leather parts on the front side of the kydex and they helped pull it tighter.
(***) Most people say people like me, the infrequent carrier because of where we live, are to concerned with printing, since most people don't notice obvious things right in front of them. They are probably right... I don't want anyone to notice, not my kids, not my parents who we where visiting, not there neighbors... Incidentally, my kids do know, just not until after a day or so, or if we stop somewhere an I have to de-arm because of post office or SC or coming home.

Finished processing and loading 300 rounds of 30'06 for the Garand to eat, and loaded into M1 clips.

Tumbling a hundred 6.5CM and a bunch of .300AAC together. They are dissimilar enough that I'm not worried about sorting them.
Later on tonight, I will de-prime and clean the pockets on the 6.5CM. They got enough sand and dirt on/in them from shooting prone at Peacemaker I decided to tumble before de-priming and reforming the cases.

Decapped/sized, neck turned, annealed (except the nickel cases), tumbled, final trimmed, and deburred/chamfered. Still have 2 more batches to finish up.
At least when you get to assembly, you have a usuable finished product: "Hey look! I have all this ammo!
"After a days worth of case prep, you have components:
"Hey look! I have...empty cases
"
