Finished the last 10 lbs.
Was headed to the range Sat but it rained me out. So I set up for a Sun morning smelting session.

It really don't look like 120lbs but I blended double batches of my most used alloys.
Then while rooting around for the lead, I ran across some 3/8" aluminum flatbed so I cut a couple of pieces to use while setting my casting height.

Lubed and sized 45acp carried ignots to the melting pot got my molds out cleaned and orangized and cleaned my loading bench ready to cast tomorrow
Cast up a bunch of Lyman 454190's for my .45 Colts.
Sized and decapped 100 1x Privi Partizan 45-70 from one lot run through my buddies JM Marlin 1895G in stainless so I can feed my new to me blued 1895G Remlin . They share brass and Jorge won't shoot reloads . A match made in heaven .
Nor'easter blowin' in, went out to the casting shed, lit the propane heater and made up several hundred 311041's for my hungry 30's. Now, if it would just stop with the snowin' and blowin' so I can get to the range next week!!!
Made a pair of snap caps for a 8x50R double rifle.
Loaded about 20 or so 45-70 shells with RCBS 45-500 cast last week from range lead, sized and primed about 100 .38 special brass
Nothing. Emptied some 40SW & 30/30 cases, wet a fly.
Bass are starting to hit the shallows now. Wouldn't take a midge.
Wife had issue, called in sick family to work. She stabilized, so I cast up, powder coated, sized and loaded 100 9mm 124gr boolits. Same time I was tumbling brass, depriming, resizing and repriming,. Busy 6 hours, also given cool down periods. :) Keeps me busy and happy.
Built a corner shelf for my computer and radios in the corner of my casting room.

Loaded up 250 .300AAC rounds using 150 gr cast plain base boolits; powder coated with IMR 4227 powder. Started at 14.5 gr and worked up to 18.1. Just got to wait til the weather breaks so I can go out and try them.
Been tumbling brass for the last couple of days. I am just about to go out and dump a batch and reload the tumbler.
Made a case trimmer gage for .318 Westley Richards. Was going to post a photo, apparently my ability to do so is "BUSTED".
