    That 300BO is such a versatile round. Which bullets are you going with today?

    I always suggest doing a tuning test. I have the bullets sitting on the shelf, so if we dont find a tune that works for his gun, we will then switch bullets.

    I showed him these targets, and explained the tuning process to him and the importance of spending a little time developing the load prior to bulk loading.

    Today I was just brass prepping. Just finished 600 pieces. Deprimed them last night. Wet SS PIN cleaned them last night. Let them dry over night. Today I sized them. I just ordered a new priming tool so it will be next week before I prime them.

    Are you loading 1000 rounds on a single stage press? I did 100 roand of 300BO last weekend for my dad and it took a while to just meter the powder for each round from the RCBC scale/dispenser, he had already primed the brass. Took no time to seat and crimp on a Dillon 550.

    yes. I KNOW.. I KNOW.... I KNOW.....

    I have a Dillon 550. I have had it for 2 years.... I just don't know how to figure all that out. I bought it from a buddy at the gun club that didn't shoot pistol any more. I got it with 4 complete die heads (45, 40, 9mm, and 357 sig). I need to sit down and do it, but its a time thing. Issue is that it shares the table with my bullet making presses. so it's all cluddered up. If I ever clean the table, I really need to make bullets (and that is a week long process to make 5000). so needless to say..... i still haven't completely set it up.

    Just dedicate a hour to set up your 300BO dies on a tool head. I have the sizer/deprimer die on a separate tool head all alone, treating it like a single stage press for doing case prep. Then I have the micrometer seater die in station 3 and a taper crimp die in the 4th station. I still manually meter every round for rifle as I am working up different loads. Once I have a load I like, I will set up the powder dispenser in the station 2 location.

    Bought this before the craziness started for 350 in the used gun section at Rifle Gear. Did a Mcarbo spring kit, a trigger polish, +2 mag, and a cheap weapon light.

    I feel you. I don't have a Dillon or anything multi-stage. Only my trusty Forster co-ax single stage press. Although to be fair, I only reload for precision rifle. Everything else, I just pick up a case of ammo and call it a day. Reloading sucks. I get the giggles whenever I hear folks tell me how much they enjoy it. About the same as mowing the lawn for me. I could think of 100 things I would rather be doing with that time......

    Picked up a new fun toy this last weekend up at my friends at B-Tactical in Caddo Mills. Now to wait for my paperwork to go through on my Rugged Obsidian suppressor, and to file my form 1 so this can be a proper SBR. I have wanted one of these Kriss Vectors for years. I would say the Covid made me do it, but I had it on order before this China virus hysteria started. This will be a lot of fun once it is all together. I almost don't want to shoot it before I get it suppressed and attach the actual stock (not a damn shoulder brace).

    Picked up a BCM 12.5 upper for my current "do-it-all" build. Pretty excited for this one. Have the lower on order (Aero M4E1 Freedom Edition) and just got notification that it shipped today. Now just to figure out what optic I wanna run...

    That's what I carry. I like it. Kinda wish i would have gone with a 9mm, but I figure bigger is usually always better.
