Another volley of 30 Carbine. I change out an out Bushnell 3X scope on the rifle for a newer 1.5-4.5X32 of the same brand. Reloading on the Load-Master was slick. This time I added the Auto-Drum. A long way from knocking them out on the Lee Loader! I need to cast more bullets before I can go further.

Deprimed, sized, washed, dried 100 7.62X39 cases. Set the dies in a turret, made a dummy round to put in the die box.

Had to run about 1/4 of them through the flare die before sizing on RD's suggestion to re-round the mouthes to avoid squashed brass.

Finally got back to my 32-20 Win. 50 through the Load-Master. Running the press is rather anticlimactic after the prep work, just a few minutes and it is done. I will see how these shoot after the brass change and if all is good, run another 50 though.

Now that you mention it I used 5744 in some 300BLK a couple pages back with no firearm for them. I think almost all my remaining parts arrived today for yet another 300 AR. I think this will be number five for me without ever shooting them. Someone always wants my builds more than me. This one has a 777 serial so maybe I'll keep it.
