Yesterday I PCed about 45 lbs of 200 gr .45 RNFP--whatever that comes out to in total number of bullets

Temp was a balmy 52º and humidity was 81% on my little temp/humidity meter

For the first time I used a real Cool Whip bowl. I've been using #5s with screw on lid which work fine but the Cool Whip just seemed to do a great job.

I don't know if it was the larger diameter that allowed the bullets to swirl faster or what but in was an enjoyable time if you don't count the weather.

Going to get a larger #5 screw on container and see if I have similarly good results

Looks like about 1,575 new boolits there, a nice pile, good days work.

I've been using the Cool Whip tub since day one...it ain't squeaking so I ain't gonna oil it!

Believe it or not but if I were to guess...I don't think I have to swirl it more than about 30 seconds with only a couple of ups and downs to get that PC off the bottom early in the swirling.
