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 haven’t looked today, but there was a Dillon 650 in the classifieds.

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.
