I see some quality time being spent by young Trevor with his grand dad.

The shine INSIDE is the giveaway on "very clean"!
Time for a Dillon 550 or at least a Square Deal. Unfortunately, the formely large price gap between these two
models doesn't seem so vast these days. And Dillon dies ARE worth it, from someone who loaded with a motely
mix of dies on my 550s for a long time, finally got the Dillon dies. They are optimized for the application and do
a great job, far easier to clean and not lose adjustment.

Very good price. The R-P brass has served me well for a lot of years. It was and is a delight to work with. Federal 9mm I have almost zero experience with. W-W brass from work (it's still our carry ammo in that caliber) had very tight primer pockets that resisted all efforts to make it manageable--chamfering, swaging, strong language left that stuff unimpressed. I went the R-P route and haven't looked back. Maybe W-W brass has changed since I last tried it 15 years ago. It and my tools do not see eye-to-eye. Best of luck, Ben.

I purchased some of that brass too. It was extremely clean and uniform. Mine was about 75% Rem the rest evenly split between Fed and WW. I loaded a 1,000 rds yesterday on my Lee classic cast. I have it set up with the Inline fabrication reverse rotation adapter. It ain’t a Dillion but it works for me. It takes 4 strokes of the handle to produce one round but it fast enough for me. I can’t swing a Dillon right now ( spent my Gun money on guns).

If you already have Lee stuff like their PTE die the new 4-hole progressive is about a hundred bucks and actually works pretty well. Lee seemed to have fixed the "Pez dispenser" priming system trays too, I got a new small/large Safety Prime priming kit recently and it's good to go. Add a shell plate the priming kit, a case feeder kit, and a case collator, set up your Autodisk Pro with the chain return and get busy.

I use what ever I find. Sort the mil out and that is it. I have about 3 5 gal buckets of them right now. scrapped 24 5 gal buckets last Christmas. Hanging onto these for now. Win 223 goes in the scrap buckets along with the 556 cases. Been thinning out the brass the last few years. Having a hard time picking it up anymore. I do A LOT of cherry picking at the ranges now. Used to pick everything. It was what supported my shooting.
