Re: Coronapocalypse Projects & Pastimes

Purchased a used RCBS RCII about 4 years ago, included a trimmer, scale and some extras. It was parked on my bench for those 4 years. Decided to mount it to my bench this past weekend. Had a spare piece of redwood about 2 inches thick, cut it to about 12” x 12” and chamfered the corners. Mounted the press to it and recessed the nuts and washers. Clamped it to the bench. Did not want to drill holes in my nice Gladiator bench. Was going to go to Cabelas on Sunday for dies, bullets, primers and powder, but I called Cabelas first and was informed there was a line to enter the store. So, just ordered online. Plan to load some 223 with 68 gr Hornandy HPBT. Have been wanting a round a little more accurate than 55 gr range ammo for 100 yd and 200 yd carbine matches.
Have an AR with a 223 Wylde barrel with a 1:7 twist, so want a longer bullet.
Will see how it goes. I did reload pistol many many years ago, this is my first attempt at rifle.
Hope the photo attachment is visible.
