What have you reloaded today?

It’s been a busy two nights for using a hand press to process .223/5.56 brass. In the process, I have learned a lot about brass quality. If it resizes easily, it’s Winchester, PMC, Hornady, Remington or Lake City brass. If it’s hard to resize, it’s S&B or IMI. If it won’t fit in a Hornady #16 shell holder, it’s Wolf brass.

Last night and today, I’ve gotten 200 sized, trimmed, chamfered, deburred, primed, and ready to load. Another 240 have just been sized.

I watched the whole drop the other day and let the reloading discord know.. I already have literally 1k of every defense pistol bullet they had.. I'm waiting for feedback on those 62gr JSP .224 projectiles. They dropped another 100,000 of them after selling 50,000 of them. @ $93.49/1,000 they seem very tempting! Graf's had 100ct boxes of Speer 62gr Gold dots for a few min. today. $24.89 (limit 2) + tax + shipping.. I loaded 1k of 62gr Gold Dot pull downs from AR for a buddy last Oct. He got 1 buck and 1 doe, DRT with em` last year.

I might shoot them an email about those 35's they have had for a long while and offer something dumb like 30% off... They might go for it :)

I recently got some 90gr Gold Dots from AR, thinking they might hold together better than the HST's & Factory V-Crowns I have.. In a 9x25 Dillon build I was hoping to have done and be shooting on 9/25! But I got screwed over by RockSlideUSA selling me a Slide they don't have, and don't plan on making for the foreseeable future! I waited 14 business days to send an email, as they said 10-14 business delays. Just for them to tell me that. They offered a chopped up/slotted slide. I don't want a reduced weight slide shooting 9x25 or 10mm.. So I have an email asking about the weight of their G21 (.45acp) slide and found an alternative RockeyBrass/RockeyPrecision for $80 more.. I already have absolutely everything else.. $230 Dillon Die set, Holosun, 6 mags, and copious amounts of components.

I'm just eager to see some jugs explode like they got shot with a rifle, double earpro, and sunglasses for the fireballs!

Wanna go 1/2 on the 62gr JSP’s? Haha I’m down
 
I played with my 9mm expander die this evening. The bag has a little over 700 casings. They were sized Monday, expanded tonight, and will get primed in a few days. I have some Brass Monkey 150gr flat points that will go in some, and some 147gr Hornady XTP for some.
