450 today

[ENCORE50A]

Although nasty wet, muddy and humidity at 100%, I got the 450 Bushmaster out.
I had moved the scope forward one slot on the rail so it needed adjustment.
39.7grs Lil'Gun 250gr Hornady FTX.

Ive been shopping for case prep stations lately. Im kinda leaning towards the BurstFire 2in1. 4 positions and an annealer.

I don't load much centerfire anymore, just when I get a bucket of 450 brass. The old crank handle method just doesn't work for this old man anymore. There's a couple units out there that will complete prep, including trim but, very pricy.
I took my manual trimmer out and ground off the end so I could get the handle off. Once off, it was a piece of cake using the battery operated drill. I could trim them in a heartbeat, but my deburring tool wasn't quite big enough, but I got all them complete.
I fixed that burring tool problem today by running over to A1. They had a deburring tool that went from 17 to 60cal. Its mine now Picked up a couple hundred primers to keep the stash equal, and they had some bottles of IMR4198 so I picked up one of those too.
I just can't justify the price of a complete prep and trim unit with what little I shoot the Bushmaster.

This afternoon I loaded up 10 rounds with the 275gr Accumax. Next time I shoot the 450, I'll see how they do.
