Found my .270 brass and tossed it on the floor. Need to get in there and knock out some more ammo.
Oh Well!
I spilled my large tumbler full of bright shiny 223 cases and walnut on the cluttered dirty floor. Now I'm moving all the cans and boxes that it flowed around so I can clean up the mess.
My knees and back are reminding me not to do that again.
Funny thing is, I had only stuck one case in the last 10 years, and that was when I had just started reloading. A piece of 223 and Hornady One Shot.
Now I've stuck two pieces of brass, both 308, in the last month. Totally my fault, I just got complacent.
Gotta go pick up a bolt and washer from Lowe's this afternoon to finish extracting this one. Hopefully, it'll be the last time. At least for a while. :mrgreen:
Stuck brass? Imperial Wax. Done.
Cast & kept 182 of the 356-104 -RN, 162 of the 356-120-TC, 166 of the (TL)358-148-WC, 124 of the 309-150-RF, 156 of the (TL)356-124-2R, and 134 of the (TL)358-158-SWC + about 8 of a new( used) (TL)452-230-RN for cast diameter testing.
Not too bad getting approx. 750 -800 "keepers" out of the morning.
:)
Dismantled some .22 LR ammo.
Took one batch of clean, dry brass out of the dehydrator and put another batch into the ss pin tumbler. Sorted out more odds and ends to sell at our local gun show next Sunday. (I'm sharing a table with a friend ...)
Sized some 311284's in my lubrasizer at .310. Gonna load 'em up tomorrow for testing in a 1903a3.
Cast a bunch of slugs with a new to me Lyman mould.
Showed my cousin how to cast some 9MM 120TC lee bullets. Coated with hi-tek and showed him how to load 9mm and 12 gauge 00 buck.
Good day for sure
Good to read/hear!
:)
Always good, IMO, to hear about someone learning about our Hobby( or Addiction). Kudus to you for taking the time to share what ya know to your cousin.
Best wished to you & your cousin in your future casting adventures!

Cast some 450229 hollow base beauties. All the advice and experience on the forums saved me a ton of frustration. Attachment 200464
I did that yesterday. Knocked a bin of 45 tumble lubed slugs on the floor. Had to move a shelf to get to them and get on my hands and knees to gather them up. When I went to stand up, I didn't think my knees were going to make it, so I had to find something to grab. Thought I might be there when my wife came home... sad, but true...
Loaded 50 rounds of 358-429 over 4gr. Bullseye in .38 Special. Loaded 50 rounds of 230 Lee TC on top of 4.5gr. Bullseye in the .45 ACP.
The little gal behind the counter at the farm and home store picked up a stack of primers I had on the counter and wasn't aware/careful of the fact the tray slides out. Of course it was upside down, so her and I played "primer pick up" for several minutes. Found 99 of them.
The larger the primer the greater the probability dear wife will set it off with a vacuum if you don't find it.
