Lee pot was starting to dribble when pouring so I got to clean it out. Found a small yankee drill bit cleans the spout very well. Loaded some 30/30 ESPCd of the new 170gr PB to try. Prolly cast a another bunch next week.

Loaded some testing rounds for my 223 heavy barrel. Trying some new powders and bullets.
Melted the last 65 pounds of range scrap that I collected. Ended up with 50 pounds worth of ingots

Cast up a few dozen .451 & .457Round balls to break in a new ROA.after cleaning out the old Lee pot.
Flared and primed some 9mm brass to ready for loading the next chance I get.
Got tired of working on the house, so time to cast some boolits :D. 358-200 lee mold heating up now for a few sample batches to ship out.
Took pictures of my 550B to post in another thread.
Sorted and tumbled brass........ Not so much fun, but there are bills to pay!
Just getting to cleaning the shop and found 2 of my plastic 5 gallon buckets full of range lead have split from time and now I have a mess. Going to have to break down and melt them down now. I usually do that in the fall in cooler weather.
Loaded 50 150gr psp and 20 165gr btsp in .300 Sav for my Rem 81 Woodsmaster. Too hot to cast bullets in a non A/C shop in Texas-one drop of sweat in the pot and you know the rest! These are cheap Privi j-words from Serbia. Worth a try I reckon. Best, Thomas. And I farted.
Ran a bunch of boolits through the brand new RCBS Lube-A-Matic 2 and got it broke in thank you Craigslist for the $85 luber!
Loading 10 round strings of .45 Schofield with different boolit weights and different powders for load development.
SmelTed down 50 lbs of free dental lead and 50lbs of free wheel weights . Got few more lbs to go.
Sized 100 357 cases and expanded the necks ,tumbled 150 308 cases .played with new small electric scales .birthday pressy from my wife .she's a good in.
Put away 4 moulds and stored a touch less than 1,000 bullets. .30-50 cal. Boom.
Now that the heat wave is over, fired up the pot and had my 3rd sit down with my MiHec 477 mold. I finally got the right temp and tequnique and dropped alittle over 100 boolits that were keepers.
200 rounds of 9x18 Makarov... 95gr cast, BLL, 3.5 gr W231, CCI 500 PRIMED....

Not in the reloading room as it would have been too loud but fire formed 90 300WM brass to 458WN. Lots of trimming work in my future...
Made a bunch of empty 10mm and 9mm brass to load. Does that count.
