I hand prime all my bottleneck cases with a RCBS handprimer. I never really do lots of more than 80 to 100 so it goes pretty quick. Not sure what I'll do with pistol. I did handprime 100 380acp cases after sizing to get ready for loading... if I ever find powder I'll finish the job.

btw you have a nice, well organized reloading area there.

Haha. Actually my wife is one of those extremely rare ones that just doesn't spend much. I gave her the green light to get something she's wanted and she came back happily with a $30 pair of shoes. I felt guilty and told her to go get something else... lol.

You should surprise her with something right out of left field mate...something she would never consider buying herself. It will show just how much you care and will make her feel even more loved than she already does.

My girls did that with their Mum a couple of years ago...they bought her a return flight from Brisbane to Perth so she could visit family that she hadn't seen for years...reduced her to tears and she didn't know what to say, but she was incredibly happy.

So I got to unwrap this and act surprised for my boy this morning, got it setup later in the afternoon with the auto disk powder measure. After testing a couple powder throws to see they were right what they should be, I loaded up the 100 primed cases I had sitting ready to go. I was surprised how easy and convenient this process was, and really regret not getting one sooner!

My dad apparently talked to my wife and got me some 40S&W dies for Christmas, so I plan to load up a few hundred of those as well one of these days. Really pleased though with the first 100 rounds loaded.

It only has one weak point and that the indexing cam. It's made of plastic and is rather delicate. I'm in the process of making one out of aluminum.
