I delivered the first pellet trap to the ROTC unit today between showers. My grandson was the only one that got to shoot at it since some of the period was used to set it up. I went back at 5 pm to carry him home and asked what was wrong with it. I used the small size binder clips to catch the targets. He asked about using larger Bulldog Clips. I ordered 36- 2 1/4" for less than $7 through Ebates, will get 1% cash back and a free $10 walmart gift card.

Been cutting down .223 cases to make .300blk cases. Got a hundred or so cut, sized, trimmed, ready to go. About another 50 left. Takes a little time.

Need to get yourself a jig; I cut about 500 an hour at a deliberate pace.

It's not the cutting. I have a jig and small saw. It's the forming, trimming, deburr and chamfering that takes so much time. Even using a drill.

I run mine through the sizing die before cutting (decapping rod removed). This adds an extra step at the end but I find I get much better quality that way. I do trim with a cordless drill and a CTS trimmer that I like much better than the WFT; it just seems faster to me.. For the rest I use a RCBS prep center that works well and is pretty fast as I can perform all needed operations at once. Each stage take about an hour; decapping (Lee Universal Decapper), Sizing, cutting, trimming, clean up, and final sizing. So 1k cases takes me about 12 hours give or take a little. I'm sure its not the fastest way but its the habit I developed and since it works well I haven't looked to change it. Got about 14k cases done this way, 10k in 300 blk and 4k in 277 wlv.

Inner chamfer; outer chamfer and primer pocket uniforming are the steps I take

I had planned to to trim some and was dreading it. Then I found some ready to load made from once-fired LC brass for $35/250. With the amount I shoot these will last a while.
