What am I doing..., a first..., stuck case, and sheared the pin holder bolt head right off..., think I'm done for the night now.

What am I doing..., a first..., stuck case, and sheared the pin holder bolt head right off..., think I'm done for the night now.
If it's a lee die you can just use a punch and hammer to bang it out.

Right, only the collet still has enough pressure on the pin that it doesn't want to come out..., that and I can't find my 3/16" punch. I'll be back in business tomorrow.
Converted 30-30 cases to 25-35 for a friend of mine.
Just got in about 300 .223/5.56 cases. Trying to decide how many to convert to .300 AAC Blackout.
loaded up another 500 rounds of.223
almost out of bullets need to order more.
must have another 5000+ (and growing) empty's to work.
and need to buy some powder for my 43 mauser.
Loaded up some 6.5x55 Swede.
I'm debating rebuilding a 5.56 upper... I already have a barrel, BCG, and upper receiver. But the barrel I have is just too heavy for what I want...
Was going to go to the range yesterday and make me a whole lot more empties. But looked at the weather radar and saw a big old thunderstorm headed right for it. Since it sits about minus 5 foot elevation, and the road to it tends to flood out, I didn't go. Oh well, still have to finish processing some Norinco brass I acquired.
Helping the next door neighbor with 300 Win Mag loads. He has dies and brass, but no press or components. Need to find good loads for a Rem 700 w/28" barrel.
Gave up on anybody here willing to trade me some 8mm cases. Converted about 50 Greek HXP 30.06 cases to 8mm. Doing final polish them and on some more I did not convert, but sized.
Then I looked at all the HXP brass stamped with a 77 date stamp, and said, I have enough 30.06 empties, and very few 7.7 Jap empties. So I converted all the 77's to 7.7.
You're welcome ;)
I spent some time at the unloading bench yesterday, hammered out some good data for the 308 and the Grendel. Collected some brass from a guy up there that I don't need so it'll be listed in my trades once I get it sorted and counted.
On a side note, does anyone have need for 12ga hulls?
Bummer dude, I used to shoot skeet. But with my two knee replacements I pretty much can't stand there and do it any more. I sold off my Lee Load all and one of my shotguns. I still have boxes of 12 gauge cartridges I reloaded 10-12 years ago and my Mossberg pump. I think I still have a couple boxes with PAPER cartridges.
Finished my 5.56 upper, again. So I guess now I will have to start splitting my brass between 5.56 and 300aac...
Got my jig in to cut 5.56/.223 cases for .300 AAC, though I haven't done any yet, and probably won't until I get some more projectiles for them.
I'll probably just make 300aac as I need them now, I have well over 1000 cases between the loaded and empties...
