500 rounds of .45acp in about 5 hours
« on: July 27, 2015, 12:18:45 AM »
 ;D well, sort of. I put 500 rounds on my tumbler, went to the pool, had lunch, and 3 hours later I had 500 like new cases ready to reload. Setup my Hornady LnL, which was set up for .223 - in about 20 minutes I had it ready to go for .45acp. Averaging 100 rounds per 15min, about 1 hour and 30 minutes later I have 500 rounds ready to go.

I could use 500 rounds of .223 if you have some you want to part with. I have 500 rounds of brass so maybe we can make a deal. ;)
Well at least I am willing to add some $$ to the deal.

 If you get the material to reload I can help you and let you use my equipment. The most tedious part about reloading .223 is prepping the case... pita.

All the 223 brass i pick up anymore has a crimped pocket. I hate dealing with that crap
