Set up my new t-7, then adjusted 22-250 dies. Now only have nine other calibers to adjust. Was surprised how much deeper they are.
Filling .223 cases with 25.0gr H4895 and sticking in some 55 Noslers, 50 and 55 V max bullets.
I have over 2000 rounds of various .223 loaded so far.
Single stage press.
Takes me about 4.5 minutes to prep each case.
Well over 100 hours to prep cases.
Not that I did it all at once.

I didn’t do anythin. But I was able to find 2 lbs of N-140 and 200 Berger 77 gr projectile. I have 200 pieces of Lapua brass. when I do get home to reload its going to be fun at the range.
I finally got around to loading the already sized 1450 pieces of 45 ACP brass that had been sitting on the reloading bench for well over a month today with my old standby load of 5.2 grs. of W231 and a Zero brand 230 gr. FMJ on my single stage Rock Chucker......I've been kicking around the idea purchasing a progressive press for about 30 years but just haven't gotten around to it yet. 
That is a good load for 45acp, I use 5.2 gr of HP38 or W231 with 230 gr HP as my go to round. If I understand correctly HP38 and W231 are the same powder. I use them interchangeably depending on availability.I finally got around to loading the already sized 1450 pieces of 45 ACP brass that had been sitting on the reloading bench for well over a month today with my old standby load of 5.2 grs. of W231 and a Zero brand 230 gr.

I haven’t looked today, but there was a Dillon 650 in the classifieds.I finally got around to loading the already sized 1450 pieces of 45 ACP brass that had been sitting on the reloading bench for well over a month today with my old standby load of 5.2 grs. of W231 and a Zero brand 230 gr.

Well I didn't reload anything but I WENT SHOOTING for the first time in 3 years!!! 
Shot a couple hundred rounds between the .22 and my 34! I was SO stoked! I'm paying for it now but it was definitely worth it. I'm thinking I might need to do some dryfiring this month and give the Steel Challenge a whirl in October. 
I have REALLY missed this. More than I thought I did.
And I guess I'll reload some 9mm while Grumpy is at work tomorrow.

Loaded 80 rounds of .308 to try a different load in my match rifle.
