    but now here folly followers are rioting in the streets cause they do not want to be called "birthers".

    there unknown person, (no proof he is even alive?). they degrader and insulted anybody questing him, so they in turn for losing are rioting and casing harm to folk just trying to make a living and getting along in life.

    i guess it is a way to make up for there party being a loosing party.

    instead of making it better... just destroy what others have built.

    Got my big (word for donkey) box of 223/5.56 brass. 31 pounds, by my calculations it should be just north of 2100pcs... For $50 (PayPal fees). Not too shabby, if I do say myself...

    And probably over half of it will be turned into blackout brass... I'm going to have some blisters on the fingers from cutting all of those

    Got in a box of Nosler .38 158 grain JHP projectiles. Thinking with Trump's election there will be no binge panic buying of guns, ammo, and supplies causing a big drought this year.

    I hear you on that. Even with my Harbor Freight cutter it was a chore when I only did 100 of them.

    After sorting that box, just over 500 will stay 223, the rest are going to become blackout.

    I think my new rule will be if it is a 5.56 case...Blackout. If it's a .223 case, it stays .223.

    I don't know about that. I haven't done a lot of testing with 300 blk yet, but in the 1000 or so rds I have created I noticed slightly better accuracy with 223 brass as opposed to 556 brass. Maybe it's just inconsistencies with the home made cast lead bullets I use so I'll have to do some more testing to be sure. I do separate my bullets by weight so it's not because I'm loading bullets with different weights. They are all within 0.1 grains of each other.

    That's close, but I have some .223 that was crimped and I am going to keep them .223.

    I have plenty of crimped 223, mainly federal, but I shoot a lot more blackout. So I load a lot more blackout

    i turn plastic things into pellets for a living, if I wanted to I could take all of my trays in to work and grind them up, but I just toss them in the recycle bin.

    A couple days ago I ran a couple hundred 45acp SPP cases through a bulge buster, now I'm having muscle spasms in my neck/right shoulder... Coincidence? I think not... Maybe I should start doing that with my left arm to even things out...

    I just got a ch4d primer pocket swage die set, so when my shoulder heals up I plan on trying it with the ~1600 5.56 brass I have to convert to 300aac.

    I also have a different jig on the way for cutting, it looks like it'll help with the blisters associated with cutting large amounts of brass in one sitting...

    Today I deprimed all the brass I'm going to trade after I wet tumble them. My local shooting range closed for the winter last weekend so I'm trying to get everything I've accumulated over the past year sorted and cleaned so I can trade them off for some 7.62x39 and 44 magnum.

    Sized, trimmed, and tumbled just over 800 pieces of blackout from the brass I cut. Found out that wolf, geco, and PPU are no good for converting to blackout... So they're added to the list of stuff that stays 223...

    That's good to know. What others do you have on that list that wont work for 300 blk? I think it was geco 9mm brass that wouldn't hold a crimp with my lead bullets for some reason.
