You are loading fast and shooting sloooowww. LOLLoaded up another 200 45colt rounds for the 1873. Now switching press over to 45 acp for major run. Getting real low.
Wedding this Sunday and babysitting my son's dog so he doesn't eat mine. He can't move in his house fast enough. Got lots to shoot and test.....but no time. Plus who else would help you shoot your 460????You are loading fast and shooting sloooowww. LOL
Did some of this today also
300 BLK would be my guess.Making .30 USC out of 5.56mm blanks?

Making .300 blackout from them. The chopsaw is a Harbor Freight one, and the jig is the "speedy" model from Squirrel Daddy (guntools on eBay). Think it was $15 shipped.Making .30 USC out of 5.56mm blanks?

So you cut them first, then clean, then resize (form the neck), then a final trim. Is that correct?Making .300 blackout from them
Exactly. I find that cleaning them with stainless pins via wet tumbling chamfers the rough cut from the chop saw (and makes them shiny, woo!) So they dont grab my expander and pull out my expander ball. This way I can use Lee dies which have a better radius on the mouth of the die. Which helps with the edge of the rough cut case. Eliminates alot of forming issues. Plus they're shiny lolSo you cut them first, then clean, then resize (form the neck), then a final trim. Is that correct?
I wet tumble as well. I've started using Wash-n-Wax instead of Dawn. It leaves a little wax behind that, besides keeping the brass from tarnishing later, also helps with the expander sticking in my pistol calibers.Exactly.

I also use the Lee quick power trim die to trim them to final length with my $9 Harbor Freight power screwdriver. It ain't a WFT but for as low speed high drag as I am, it's great.
amen bro-ham. Armor All Wash n Wax is a wet tumbling godsend. I do clean especially dirty cases with a 'pre-wash' of dawn and citric acid first, then finish with the W&W for a final clean and shine.I wet tumble as well.

Not sad! When I get to the bottom, I simply take a moment to reflect on all the fun that jug gave me. Always leaves me with a smile.Nice when you load a lot but sad when you get to the bottom. Toprudder I'm getting ready!View attachment 39327
Fill the jug with tannerite and test some of your rifle loads. Much better celebration of the powderNot sad! When I get to the bottom, I simply take a moment to reflect on all the fun that jug gave me. Always leaves me with a smile.

Now just need to test them when I get a gun.
I shot my chronograph while working up some 120gr sst loads with CFE BLK
Two types of chronograph owners, those that have shot theirs and those that will.

Charlie, I am working on it. Scope is my problem
I am pretty sure that everyone at one point or another have shot their chrono
Nope....Have the Labradar!Two types of chronograph owners, those that have shot theirs and those that will.
