How I spent the afternoon.

Late last year I got a Lee Pro 1000 Reloader set up for 9mm. Since then I've reloaded well over 1000 rounds of 9mm. Today I did what I needed to do the set up the dies for .45acp in a seperate turret so I can make quick changes from 9mm to .45acp by simply changing out the turrets and shell holders. After I got it all set up I produced enough rounds to go test tomorrow to insure all is good. After that I'lll build up my stock pile of .45acp also.

Next I guess I'll get the dies and turret for .380, although I only sshot it enough to stay proficient.

sounds like a nice afternoon to me.

Once you get past the aggravation of the set up the repetitiveness of reloading is actually relaxing, and if you do it fast enough is aerobic  8). It took me a lot of trial and error today to get the neck flair right, but after it did it went fast.

Good deal Asmurf! I just got 300 rounds of once fired .380 brass. Gotta run them thru the vibrator then set up the .380 dies in a Lee turret. It is humid here in Ohio, (I know that's not an issue for you), so I came up with a storage solution - large jiff peanut butter jars are just perfect - cut a chunk of foam rubber to fit in the bottom, and the turrets with the dies fit perfectly, and are hermetically sealed.

I found some containers at Home Depot I use, hadn't thought of the foam I just loosend the primer punch pin.

I went and fired my test rounds this morning all of them fired, had 2 with Federal brass that did feed properly, here in a bit I'll take the calipers to them and see if I can figure out why.
