What did you do in the reloading room today?

Fed ex came in clutch. Somehow they managed Phoenix to Boise overnight. The 550c showed up this morning.

Just got everything dialed in, and I’m cranking out bullets baby!!

9mm
147 berry’s round nose.
3.8gr CFE-Pistol.

Hopefully I get a chance to shoot later this evening. View attachment 1073041

You wasted no time getting that up and running haha. Work has been killer this week, so hoping to take mine on the maiden voyage this weekend.

A bit of graphite in the primer slide mechanism works wonders

After 1000 rds of 9mm on a single stage I'm over it. Y'all are gonna cost me money.
There's a used 550 near me, lady is asking 1200. Has a few things with it like powder tumbler and media separator, and a set of dies installed.
Is that a fair price if the does are a caliber I need?
Or is that a gtfo asking price?

Seems a little steep for a used press.

Sized a pile of 6mm ARC, 6.5 Creed, and a few 6 creed. Have 200 more pieces of 6 creed to do tomorrow. Dropped powder on 50 6.5 creedmoors. Found a good load with staball 6.5 and 140s my gun really likes.

Took most the day, but got 150 22CM and 100 6PRC brass from the cleaned bucket all the way to the trimmed bucket. Nice to have a stock ready for primers and powder.

Got my 550 up and running- definitely a game changer!

Had a few hiccups along the way…. Accidentally placed a bullet on station 2, so seating a bullet with the powder funnel didn’t work out well haha. Then ended up getting a case stuck in the sizing die (hasn’t happened in years).

Despite the above - I loaded 750 rounds of 300 BLK with N110 and 110 gr Varmageddons. Looking forward to putting the 550 through the paces for my 357/38 and 6 ARC.

Nothing special, painted and trimmed out the room, past due.
