I'm way ahead of you son, 400 sized and primed! Get ready!!

I must be way behind. I just ran my brass through the bench source this week. However it's a 4 day weekend w/ a long range match on Saturday. I will have to load some tomorrow just to shoot Saturday, then get started for nationals on Sunday.

Ya I got another box setting here waiting for attention so I can shoot a local match. This break year isn't as easy as I thought it was going to be. Lol. I can't miss this because it's at Lodi ! I have not shot a ET yet so I'm going in green on this one! I might have to fish some on that lake before I leave this place too! Lol

I loaded 200 rounds today. 200 more in the next few days.......

Sizing tonight...Hopefully have most sized. Finish that tomorrow. Monday start loading. I'm going to skip our local match for September...keeping rounds for Lodi. Almost out of this lot of bullets! Enough for Nationals

You guys are leaps and bounds ahead of me I had a brilliant idea of ordering a reamer with a tighter neck about 7 weeks ago. To make a long story short I got the reamer about 2 weeks ago and I just finished up chambering the last of the 2 barrels tonight. Maybe a little load development this weekend???

 

[Zilla]

Gees, I was finished loading a week ago.

I've traveled with guys that primed brass as we drove to the match. Lol That's not a good plan for success and wouldn't work for me at all. You new guys need to put sponge foam in your ammo box lids for traveling and a layer of something soft under the boxes as well. If the cases can bounce they will change your seating depths on the ride there. You won't like that! Lol

I can't help but wonder what the plan is after you get there. Lol
I sized and primed another 100 early-early this morning. Back up ammo.
Failure to prepare is preparation for failure. Another quote! Lol
Ive learned to get everything household in order before these trips to eliminate distraction , do the same or you will not be able to focus on the match.

Sized , tumbled, and primed 600 case last night and this morning. Powder and pills tonight...probably 100ish. Good tip Mike about the foaming the lids. I've been using a thin from and double sided tape to hold it in. Also got to the fabric store for clear vynle for rifle rain coat...hoping not to use it at all !!!

You better trim them, dang it if I had to so you have to also. Lol it doesn't hurt for long strings of fire!

 

[rmist]

Didn't mention it since did that the other day...separate painful but necessary task !! Back to powder measuring

 

[Turbulent Turtle]

Trim? That's the easiest, fastest part of case preparation. I love my Giraud trimmer; I get 100 cases trimmed, deburred and chamfered in about 10 minutes.
