2,800 brass primed - XDTalk Forums - Your HS2000/SA-XD Information Source!

And I now have Kung-Fu Grip (but looking a bit like a fiddler crab)!
A slow weekend and catching up on my brass, I had accumulated a bunch of sized and flared pistol brass in zip-lock bags, so I planted myself in front of the history channel and with my Lee hand primer went thru 800 Large Pistol primers and 2000 Small Pistol primers.
I need to buy powder and I am good to go as I have been sitting on bullets for a couple of years. A guy just can't rush into this reloading stuff.

Don, Midland TX Wally World sells powder I was able to get 4lbs of Red Dot for 65.00 might check them out.

I spent Sunday afternoon casting 9mm bullets. First time doing this and it turned out to be fun. I did 300 rounds and ran out of lead. I'm going to have to cast more ingots and try to do at least 1K.

Sweet. I try to get all my stuff done in stages also. I've got stacks of deprimed resized brass by caliber. I try to keep my resized deprimed stock up and work though it later. I've got 200 9mm, 100 .45, and 100 .223 waiting for priming at my house right now.

I used to do that before I got a progressive. Now it's just clean them & load them. Glad to hear you are finally up & running. Soon, you'll be popping for the preogressive.

no offense but thats kinda weak. I hope you are just stocking up at this point. I won't even think about sizing and de-capping my brass till I have about 500 of each quantity

I spend 30 mins-2hrs at a time reloading depending on what is going on I don't try for massive numbers at one time. I can get out 1000 rounds a week of various calibers and I don't have to spend large ammounts of time out there. I've got a stock of a few thousand various caliber resized deprimed brass just waiting for reloading.

Sorry I don't meet your expectations in my reloading.
