    near Bedford on a whole lot of land.
    I have the Lyman Turbo Twin, and I can put more in it, but the brass doesn't come out as nice since they are bumping in to each other more than the media. I've put in 50 at a time but I wasn't hapyp with the results. I now stick to 10 at a time, though sometimes I put a few more in.

    Mark - Let me know if you want to use the cement mixer. I could tumble a hundred at a time easy. :)

    wont a cement mixer damage the cases?
    metal on metal.wont that ding the necks
    burr the base?

    It's a plastic body mixer, though I don't know if he removed the blades. Considering that the ammo he sells (Aszerigan owns Profire and is a great local manufacturer) is nice and shiny, I don't think his setup is dinging the brass any.

    I have a LEE 50 BMG kit, I haven't reload any rounds yet

    I have two of the Lee kits so I can leave the seating die at the settings I like. I'm hoping to get a better press/die set this summer, including a neck sizing die, but I've not yet run up against my accuracy limits with my rifle setup, so any accuracy gains by going with better quality press/dies are still lost in the noise of my shooting ability.
