    I have a Lyman bench mounted trimmer, lathe type, with power adapter. I keep the power adapter set for blackout and use the crank for smaller batches of everything else.

    Maybe one of these days I'll actually get my bench cleaned off enough that I can take a picture of it... But for the time being, it's trashed...

    Did up another 100 .300 AAC Blackout with 110 grain Hornady SP's. Found an online deal for some overrun Hornady. Got 250 .38 158 grain HP's for $39.95. Then saw they had a military discount. Submitted a scan of my DD214 and got another 10% off. Figured 250 Hornady .38 HP's for $35.95 was a good deal.

    Finally got off my butt and started converting some 5.56 cases to .300 AAC today. Now the only empties I have left are all commercial .223.

    Don't feel bad my bench stays in a permanent state of trashed. Some day when I'm done doing stuff on it it will get cleaned off and stay clean, about the time I hit the old folks home.

    I clean mine up from time to time, but as soon as I do something that's not reloading related it gets destroyed again...

    Funny you should say that, I had just cleaned my bench up for the first time in a LONG time about last Friday.

    When I first set it up. And pretty much as it looks right now.

    Well, when I first started to set it up?

    That is a nice looking bench with a shelf. Mine is 2x4s and 3/8 plywood but it works. Had to reinforce it with more 2x4s when installing my press.

    I sorted a small amount of brass from my recent trip to the range. It wasn't much so it didn't take long.

    I need to go to the range. Figure my Lee Enfields and Jap Arisaka haven't been out to play, and I know a couple people who want some .303 Brit cases bad. I have a LOT of Greek HXP loaded ammo I bought and can spare a few.

    I recently purchased an Arisaka for 175.00 but, it looks like a pipe screwed into the action. I am not sure it is much more than a wall hanger. If I had ammo I might give it the old tire test.

    I was going to say give me about 3 bucks for shipping and I'll send you a few 7.7 cases (converted from 30.06) and a few .311" 150 grain FMJ bullets if you actually want to fire them and see, but you probably don't have dies to make them?

    What can I do? I have two rifles that fire 5.56/.223 (A Saiga AK action and an AR) and an upper that fires .300 AAC. Never can decide what to do with the free empties I find all over the place on my range, just reload them or convert them. Lately I just save all the cases that say .223 for my two, and all the 5.56 gets converted to .300 AAC because there is no caliber on the headstamps.

    I just got a mossberg 930 12ga, so I foresee shotgun shells piling up now

    I had a Saiga 12 and went with the 930 and there is no comparison. You are going to want to start loading slugs at least I had to.

    I have a classic Mossberg 500 pump.

    I used to shoot doubles in skeet with it. Only guy I know that did that regularly.
