I found a brick of 1950s era Herters LR primers in my upper cabinet, and decided to try them in 50 rounds of 30x39 cases. I had to change out my shell holder to get a precise fit, they are just a wee bit larger than CCI or Remingtons. I am going to run loads of 844, bulk H-335.

converted a handful of military 3006 to 8x57mm.

Making 9 mm with cast bullets and my Lee hand press.

Friday I found out that a cast iron mold sweats in Florida, poured a ladle full in and it exploded, pulled the ladle back and spilt it on my foot, 3rd degree burns on my foot see burn center Monday to see if I need graphs and where we proceed in treatments. Be careful out there!

Oh, OW!!!! Guess I'm glad it wasn't worse.


Hindsight - I keep a 5 gallon bucket of water within reach to instantly cool any burns. That can drastically limit damage to tissues.

Wow what a sobering story. I have not considered such an unanticipated disaster and the for site of having the water ready speaks volumes.

I have been slowly building in an exhaust fan which I hope will allow for powder coating in the reload room. Been busy with Alaska summer and blown out shoulder. Need to test about 100 556 loads before doing a production run.

Sized gas checked and lubed ~600 30 Carbine boolits. Found ~ 500 that I had already sized stuck in a drawer. Almost enough boolits to start loading 30 carbine.

And fortunately I do as well and I think by drowning my foot immediately I saved it being much worse

In FL you put implements on the alloy to heat, when you light off or switch on. Let the humidity get gone from the metal. Good tme to tell you, right.

When I sold my house in Navarre, FL it still had 100 pounds of lead imbedded in the bricks, trees, on the roof, etc. Learned to dry everything used in the melt in FL, by heat, first, the hard way.

Loaded some 45-70 using the HS-6 data from the gmdr lever gun website.

Also found some .380 reloads I didn’t know I had, they’ll go to my brother.

Also best wishes on the foot, hope no grafts are needed.

Reload room on hold due to run in with table saw. Exhaust fan installation incident. Who new reloading could be so hazardous.

[B1GB1RD]

I feel your pain, in the foot, lol, hope all is well, and yes, it is hazardous!!!

Who would of thought with a feels like 105 degrees that it would do that, now I know, the hard way as you say, but lesson learned and new procedures in place!

what did i do in the reloading today?...i unboxed my new Lyman 8 station turret press to mount to my bench only to find out
the press & handle were the only things in the box. no hardware, no priming equipment, no turret handle.

wow, what a disappointment! quality control no so good. called where i purchased. they are going to contact Lyman

& they are supposed to get a hold of me on Monday. price was not an issue, maybe should have bought the T-7.

Been going wacko trying to read the Lee hardness scope. Built a stand for it it helps but still a pain.

First time I got a blob of molten lead on me, my reaction was to 'wipe it off' err SMEAR it... I've got a good scar... This is an excellent idea and just remember to stay calm and use that water.
