I finished turning ADG 300 PRC brass down to .014, and necked another new box of 300 ADG PRC brass down to 6.5 for my 6.5-300PRC. Commencing the turning operation on those this evening....

I debated over selling all this shit and just going back to 6cm hornady ammo........???
I had the same thought loading 350 rounds for Rifles Only.
I’m running into pressure issues with 6gt alpha brass I shouldn’t be.
Also has issue with alpha dasher brass.
Irritating AF.
Having a Giraud trimmer with extra cutting heads and shell holders, I wonder how other people are storing the extras when not used. I was thinking a single flat tackle box as I use for other bits.
What do you use to store the extra cutting, and shell holders?

Loaded up 100 9mm at 130 power factor for my next USPSA match and 25 round of 10mm with 180gr XTP for carry. These should come in right about 1200fps.
Got the second cost of paint on a storage unit and started prepping .243 brass.
Built the unit for the heavier stuff.

Scored 2 , yes gentlemen, scored 2 x 8lb jugs of R26 , so just scheming of different loads I can try in a couple of calibers now that I have obtained the unobtainable . 
Loaded up and tested seating depth for the 30-06 from .010 to .050 off the lands.
How'd it go with the testing?
Received by FedEx, 5,000 Winchester USA Ready Match LR Primers. I'll report how they perform side by side with CCI and Federal.
Gotta brag for a minute. Took my little guy with his .223 load he developed for his new AR he built. Farthest thing at our range is 640yd there is a 10in gong. He hit everything on the Large bore silhouette and back. He had a few shots left I said try the gong. He had to make some windage adjustments. He rung it on his last shot. He just pulled all his brass back out of the tumbler and ready to start over tomorrow.

The testing went well. Nosler ABLR 168 and RL 16. Seating depth .010 group .085, .020 group .6, .030 group .065, .040 group 1.1 and .050 group .051. load was 56.4 grains of RL 16 at 2857 with SD of 10.1. so I think I found my load at .050 off the lands.
You may want to test +/- around .050 off the lands to see how wide that sweet spot goes.
Loaded up 80 rounds of 300 win mag with Berger 215 hybrids. Just prepping for CORONAGEDDON!

Sized and primed 148 6-BR cases.
Loaded some 5.56 and 9mm magazines and a couple of 25rd 22LR mags for my GSG-5.
Cleaned and lubed my stumpy 5.56.
Put some stuff away from Wednesday's outing.

Running low on .40 bullets so I checked my usual supplier, Rocky Mountain Reloading. They had 135gr Sinterfire frangible bullets for only slightly more than most FMJ or plated. Decided to give it a shot. Just sent an email into Sinterfire for load data. Looks like it’s a discontinued bullet? Heaviest .40 they have in their catalog is a 125gr frangible.
I pulled a rifle completely apart to install a trigger. The trigger was a different shape than the factory one so I had to cut a bunch out of the stock inlet and the PTG, par excellence, aluminum DMB. I also had to cut the magazine catch .015" to get my magazines to secure themselves more relaibly without having to force it...
While I was in there I cut back the receiver's feed-rails to handle center-feed Magnum case heads/webs since it was originally a double-stack .223 receiver.
I set the trigger pull and over travel and banged it around with and without the safety to see if I could get it to go off accidentally. Seems fine. It's ready to go to the range now.

Painfully annealing with just a torch and a drill. Anyone still do this?
Case prep ?
Impressive. I’ve been debating making my own. This one looks like it’s a little outside of my already lacking expertise.
If you don't want to know how the induction sausage is made, and just want something that works, then there's a parts list and diagram for one on accurate shooter:

Homemade Induction Annealer
Over the last couple of days I put together an induction annealer setup. All components minus the coil were sourced from Amazon. I turned the coil myself from solid copper wire to ensure proper inductance and distance to the case. The power supply is 24V/15A. Switching frequency of the...
www.snipershide.com Loaded 500 9mm rounds.
Build your own or did you buy a rig?
Loaded up 20, shot 10 on steel from barricades and 10 on paper at 400

I bought the the kit from the outfit in Canada since it has an all stainless shell holder for the top of the Lee 10# furnace. I built a stainless adapter ring to fit the 20# furnace and bought additional salts through Amazon.
Finally got my bench put together and getting everything setup where I want it.
Tumbled, sized and decapped 1000 pieces of 9mm brass.
Working through decapping and tumbling nearly 1k pcs of Lapua 6.5cm. The pic is the third batch. Getting a shoulder workout, LOL. 
Loaded 600 rds of 45acp. I needed to get a workout in today but said screw it and piddled in the reloading room. Took mental breaks by watching my wife lay out in the sun. Over all a pretty relaxing day.
Where the hell did I hide my Imperial wax ?..............
Shit.
Shit.
My RPR .243's barrel is about half gone, 800 rounds fired. Thought I'd take it out with a varmint load. Using 4451, because there's a lot of it on the shelf. Found a node at 44.6, 44.8, 46 grains. Loaded 10 rounds of each for a chrono test.
Seating a 78 gr. bullet on top. Will shoot them, best S.D. wins. Lapua brass, CCI Br 2 primers. Final load should hover in that 3450-3500 range.
Pasture rats, beware.

New bench. Probably get a second one. Have one setup for brass prep and the other for prime/powder/seat.
Use the guide @TSloper posted up. I did with mine. Trust me, if I can do it, you can do it. There are 6 electrical connections and you have to make some copper coil. It's no biggie dude. I put mine in a 50 cal can.
I used to use a torch/drill, and it sucked balls. Now I anneal every firing and its easy peasy
I picked up a couple like that 2 years ago, I think at Sam’s Club. Helluva good, sturdy bench. Nice choice!
Yeah, I have the same bench only in the 6’ version. They are great for the $$. I actually have two and I bolted them together to make one large island. Worked out great.
