45 ACP cases

[delta6]

That looks like more work than actually needed. I like my method better, it's faster and does the job way better at less cost. No tray, tweezers, bin, or magnifying glass needed. Just a single stage and an LED desk lamp, plus mk1 eyeball.

AZ1182:
You maybe correct, but when you shoot 60K plus rounds a year, you eventually run out of time. Single stage and eye balls just don't cut it. :think:

So what are you going to do since both yours and mine isn't fast enough?

Mine works fine. While harvesting wheat in Colorado, we loaded 40K of 9MM in July. Plenty fast enough.

i use the same method of delta6, and generally sort a 5 gal bucket over a weeks time, out on patio, turn on some old time rock and roll, open up a barley pop and run a gaggle, slurp some barley pop, breath, and repeat, and an occasional sprint around yard to get the blood moving in the legs, which also entail watering a tree in the yard, and then repeat. quite satisfying, beer, music gun work, so to speak and man shiat.

But that was more time consuming than how I was and still am doing it, which is faster. I'm just saying that simply because it works for you, it may not, and is evidently not, the best for everyone. By the time you filled up one tray, dropped somewhere else to inspect, and then put a magnifying glass and take the tweezers and start looking, I am already done with that amount both culled and sized what stays, and am moving on while you still haven't sized yet, which was my whole point.

YMMV, take care.

Cool.. send us a video and we can compare.. rounds loaded per hour. Can't wait.

Who is this "us" exactly? And we're talking about culling and sizing, not loading and that itself is goalpost stretching.

Plus I'm not going to buy stuff to make videos just to prolong this purse fight, that money can be better suited to other things more useful to me.

Xactly what I thought.. thanx for your input.

:dance: Hmmm, maybe I can make your both feel like winners.

I just changed over to load some cast lead RN, for 45acp. After wet tumbling, it took me two hours to size, prime, expand case mouths, lube bullets, weigh powder, seat and crimp, all in individual single steps,......... to produce 50 cartridges!!!

That's right,... 2 hours per 50,... well, maybe 1&1/2 hours, guess I am the loser in this competition!

No, you didn't win as you stretched the goalposts and made this internet differences of getting things done too personal. So no, not exactly as you thought because you included an extra step that was not even in this conversation. Your video was about culling and separating, not loading as well. You added the loading to it, something else entirely different and out of left field to be plainly honest.

I simply aborted the purse swinging because you you took it to a 10 and so I left it at that.

An so now your ultimate goal is case sorting... I thought this whole thread was about actually loading ammunition. I guess some guys just like to admire their processes. You win, if your a processor. I like to shoot.. so while your dickin' around... doin' what ever, we be shooting. PS: Don't whine...geesch.

I detest small primer 45acp.
In my opinion the only good thing I've found them good for is making an occasional shot shell cartridge.

use them and save the good brass.

 

[Jack Dupp]

If anyone has any small primer 45acp brass they can't stand to look at any more, I'll gladly take them off your hands. And I'll sort it as fast or as slow as I want to.

 

[knockonit]

and another perfect example of why the gunnies of the world will always be fighting to keep our units, simple discussions turn into arguments over the most mundane of items, instead of coming together to fight the common foe, ....................the gun takers

who give a shiat what joe blow does, offering examples is one thing, planting a flag and claiming sovereignty over a process is about as silly as it gets. but if it makes your sail bellow, then so be it

happy hump day,

[Bigfoot]

well checking primer pockets wasn't one of mine either until it became an issue, so now i go thru the process, nothing more frustrating than being on a roll and have a fubared primer issue
Rj

Agreed

 

[Flash]

Get yourselves a #1 primer checker like Mrs. Flash and your problems will go away.

When I only had one progressive press, I used to occasionally get too lazy to switch from small primers to large to make .45s and I'd use the small primer .45s for a run of ammo.

 

[xerts1191]

Just more dumb stuff to deal with

 

[curt1950]

I always treated reloading like it was another hobby, everything gets deprimed, then cleaned , then hand priming, then load one at a time on the single stage press. I have a turret I just don't use it much.

As was my MO until i started shooting a whole lot more, and needed to reload more, the dillions are the shitz, and if one does all the prep, which is our discussion here, well, its a blessing to run out a few hundred in a short setting.
when i go shooting its a minimum of 1 to 1.5 k of multiple calibers shot, hell its becoming work just picking up brass, as the assocs. i shoot with are all brass thieves,

 

[Flash]

So I'm not the only one who shoots with brass thieves?

 

[BananaHands]

The only thing I hate more than small primer 45 brass is the 380 auto brass. It always somehow gets mixed in with 9mm brass. :lol:

 

[Flash]

Send your 380s to me. I'll give them a good home.
