[ARCHIVED THREAD] - I finally did it.

I figure it's about 12,500 large and small primers, and it took me about a year.

Those appear to be all brass, what does the nickle bottle look like?

That's all of it, mostly OFB MIL, I think they are mostly brass.

I'm working on filling an 8# keg of IMR 4895 and I'm about 3/4 the way myself. Reloading minds think alike!

Compared to You, I'll take that.

I run kind of the same set up for spent primers.

I just tore the press down to clean it, reset it to finish swaging, size/trim and expand. got about 3000 to do.

I know what I'll be doing for the next week.

I got one load in the oven drying, one in the tumbler, and one more to go into the tumbler.

I just weighed it, 14 pounds 4 ounces, I also got about a 5 gallon bucket of scrap brass as well.

I use a gallon pickle jar... its only half full of brass, shavings and spent primers. Guess I have a lot to catch up to judging by the pics.

Almost have my second 1 gallon water jug filled, not sure how many each one holds, but its a couple of years of reloading/processing brass.
