I had a crappy day at work yesterday and reloading 50 rounds of 6.5cm helped me relax.

What I did last week. Worked up a load for 9mm it started anemic 760 fps to missing a charge on one and sticking a round in my new Glock 43. Had to hammer it out with a wood dowel with aluminum barrel holder and a dead blow hammer. I'm just not in top shape to reload. I never have done that.

Tested a new load today. 158 gr Frontier RN, 16.1 grains of H110, CCI Magnum Primer. Made them in the AM, tested them in the PM. Shot great. A nice, stout Magnum load.

Getting geared up for another .260 run. Multiple lots of brass in varying stages of prep, need to put in a order for 142gr SMK's later this week.
Possibly try and get some 200gr JHP or FP for the .45 as well, exhausted my supply a while back.

Cold and windy day, NFL boycott means plenty of reloading time.
Loaded 75 6.5CM for possible PNTC match Dec 16. Prepped and annealed 75 more. Loaded 200 match .223 did a little housekeeping.

Loaded up some 308 with 44gr varget and 180gr nosler ballistic tips for deer hunting this week. Never made it out in bow season I'm off Wednesday through Sunday time to fill the freezer.

Put together about a hundred or so .38 Special wadcutters. That's about it.

Not much, pew pew day. But I'll probably finish prepping the rest of the .260 brass I haven't finished, and start prepping the brass I shot today.

Destroyed a shell plate/carrier on the Pro1000, again (3rd or 4th one now). I'm finally ready to admit, it just wasn't meant to do what I've been making it do.
Case wasn't fully stuck - but apparently I put too much effort into getting it to budge.
Ah well. I'll rebuild the 1000 and let it live for .45 duty. I'll pick up a 550 for everything else. Live and learn.

Got the new Dillon set-up, decapped/resized about 130 pieces of .260 brass, tumbled and ready for trim.
Have to say, the Dillon with RCBS dies - Wow. After only knowing a cheap single stage and a Pro1000, I'm genuinely impressed. I've NEVER had such ease in decap/resize of 260 brass. Night and day difference.

I told you so....
Convincing me is one thing, convincing my wallet is another.

I think you'd like the roller handle upgrade for your Dillon.

I'm looking at a few additions for later on. Roller handle is a possibility.
At a minimum, the auto-prime upgrade. Considering adding auto-index, but as the 550 is for .260 duty, I don't mind manually indexing for now.
