As always, a Great class, cookout, and comradeship. Thank you very much Bob. Hope you all enjoyed the pictorial.
Bob sure does look hyper-aware in both pictures where he is around food. I believe I'd leave his plate alone.

So who is ready to take the next step, or already has?
With respect to reloading, I have.Quote:

Yea, right now powder availability is kinda sucking, although I see some rifle powders around pistol is much harder to come buy.
Please, let me know if u got a lead on any .223 powder that's in stock right now. I'll worry about matching bullet weight to whatever burn rate I can find. I just need POWDER NOW! Thanks.
I seem to always be able to find it . But the I want it now price is running about double the normal price.
If I run across some powder good for .223/5.56 loads, I'll grab some... I know you're good for it.Quote:

Powder Valley just posted some Ramshot TAC powder... I got you 8 pounds... it's a great powder for .223/5.56mm loads. I'll let you know when it arrives.Quote:

Good dedicated press in its day, but from a practical standpoint, it would be easier to swap out calibers on a dillon or hornady ap for pistol rounds..
But I hear that lee makes dies for the old phelps presses, which were copies of stars..
I don't know what model it is, but it's literally an heirloom. I'd referb it and make a lamp out of it before I sold it. That's coming from a guy that doesn't have many heirlooms for what it's worth.Quote:

If not, I'll use it as is.
In those pictures, TheJewban looks like Anthony Bourdain in camo pants.
Having a single stage or two around is always useful even if you have a turret or progressive. Things like removing the crimp from military brass, or loading low volume super precise ammo seems easier on a single stage. At least for me.
I also de-prime on a single stage, keeps the sand and crap out of the progressive.
