With being "social distancing" and doing limited work from home I found that I have a good bit of time on my hands. Since last Saturday I have cleaned up my loading room and actually found about 4 feet more of my loading bench and a good bit of floor space. I finally got to a 2 1/4 lb coffee can crammed full of 9mm cases that I had already cleaned and was ready to size. I sized them all on my single stage press. While I was at this I cleaned a 50 cal. ammo can crammed full of 223 cases getting ready to size them all. I also found about 400 223 cases that I had already cleaned and were ready to size. I sized all of them and most of them needed the primer crimp removed and I used my RCBS primer pocket sedge die to do this. I also loaded 45 rounds for my 30x47 cal rifle. I loaded 50 rounds for a new AR 223 that I built a year ago and have not had time to do any load work on. My right shoulder and neck and middle back are SORE from pulling that handle a few thousand times. Who knew that you really need to be in good physical shape to hand load. 

I still have some 6.5 Grendel, 308, 7.5x55, 223, 9mm & 38 special loading to do.
