Very nice setup

I was wondering what was wrong because in the pic you posted previously it wasn't a bug-hole group like you usually do. Glad you found the issue :)

Not reloading but reloading-related. I sold a set of handgun dies via eBay and the bidding was insane.

Today during lunchtime I set up the dies from the Lee Pacesetter set - which comes with 2 decapping pins (expander sized for .308 and .312) and fortunately already had a Lyman .30M1 M-die to expand the case-necks.



This is all just setup-phase for now - I'll be resizing/trimming all the brass next, priming and then start to make various loads using CFE BLK.

Edit: For future reference, I made 3 loads (23.5, 24.0 and 24.5gr CFE BLK) and all cycled just fine with no pressure-signs. Indoor range, so unfortunately no velocity readings.

Cast some AK (7.62) bullets over the weekend and powdercoated/gas-checked them today. These aren't perfect but don't need to be - they're for testing powder-loads:

Another 50x .44 Automag, this time in nickel cases (taper-crimped, so it's subtle):



.300 Blk 125gr TNT in nickel cases:

Loaded 50x .44 AutoMag, 50x .357 mag, trimmed/prepped 100x .223 nickel cases into .300 Blk and primed them.

Looking good, man

Thanks - I was blown away and sent him the money last week, so I hope he has it by now.

Looking good!

I just received this box of .44 AMP dies, brass, etc - the seller sent it before payment and wanted $50 + shipping. I believe I'll be sending him a lot more than that!
