    After receiving some brass in the mail from several of you fine gentlemen this week.

    Today I processed 5.56, 300blk, 45ACP, 40S&W and 308.

    1. De-primed and wet tumbled All
    2. Primer pocket swaged the 5.56, 300blk and the 308.
    3. Resized the 5.56, 300blk and the 308.
    4. Trimmed,deburred, chamfered the 5.56 and 308....get the 300blk tomorrow...using a drill press and a Little Crow Gun Works WFT.
    5. Primed and loaded the 308 including a taper crimp. 175gr smk with Varget
    6. Ran all 308 through a case gauge.
    7. Loaded another 500+ 40S&W in the Hornady LNL AP.
    8. Seperate factory crimp die on the 40S&W on the RCBS IV.
    9. Checked all 40S&W in a Shockbottle case gauge 100 at a time.
    10. Took down 2 40S&W that didn't pass QC at the end.

    Tomorrow....maybe I'll get a little more serious and get something done

    What are you using to swage the brass with? Are you using a dillon super swage or the hornady LNL swager?
