None, but now that the eye is fixed I'll get back to it. Waiting for the eye drops to wear off.

Been awhile since I posted. I've done several runs. Now getting back into the fun of it. Sorted all the brass. Had lots of 9mm, 45 and picked up a bunch of 40sw. Ran deprimed the 9 and 45 and ran through the tumbler. Waiting on dies to do the 40 and my other brass. Miss the time reloading.

Have you measured OD before and after PC? Looks like PC is pretty thick. Nice work.

Nice looking with the nickel cases. It might just be the picture but any problems with them chambering? Looks like they have given the case a pretty good bulge.

Yes, pistol cases always seem to be a bit better dressed in nickel. Not sure why, they just do. It's like being dressed in formal attire as opposed to everyday casual. Just me, perhaps...

Some 45 acp appropriately dressed for an evening out:

Thanks, it's the light they are brass, need to get I sizer die in 355 to test the barrel and see if the cases don't bulge.

This are the first pc I make, but the same bullet lubed looked the same and functions perfectly.

If they function and don't lead the barrel then why bother other than looks.
