Made a few different test loads using the NOE .44 SWC HP Keith mold I powder coated.

50/50 black clear
I put a set of handles on a new Lyman 311008 mold and cast some bullets.All I did to the molds was spray with brake cleaner.Alloy was 50-50 linotype and isotope lead.I had good bullets almost immediately from a warmed up mold.Cast size was .3142 and weight was 112 grains.Mold was made 11-15.Very nice performance.I have yet to get a bad mold from Lyman.
Emptied the tumbler and put the rinsed cases into the dehydrator last night. Took them out of the dehydrator today. Big batch of .30-30's and .303 British brass. (Covered 5 of the 7 trays in the dehydrator.) I'll do some more tomorrow ...
I may have passed my "Best Before" date, but I haven't reached my "Expiry" date!
Had a new gun safe delivered and resized, flared and primed 300 9mm brass. Also put some wall control behind my reloading work bench.
Nice, I'm happy and sad at the same time to say "I need a bigger gun safe" Mine is really on the small side, and there's seriously no room left for anything
sized 9x19 to 9x18

finished
I have a long way to go.
How do you like that trimmer Grmps? the shell holder portion in particular... any issues with it? I've been interested in that one for a while, but wasn't sure how well that universal shell holder would worksized 9x19 to 9x18

I FOUND GOLD! (In my dehydrator after ss pin tumbling some brass ...)

The work great, I have a motorized trim pro -2, I also have the old trim oro that uses shell plates. I like the universal better.
Finally got around to loading up some from my RCBS 429-240-SIL mold. This is a gas-checked silhouette projectile - flat point, rounded ogive, bore-rider nose band. Not quite a SWC, not quite a RNFP. Tried tom get some pics, but couldn't get any co-operation.
23.0, 23.5, 24.0 grains H110. Gonna try it in my 9.5" Ruger SRH.
Used the pin gauges the cylinder throats on my recently acquired S&W 14-3. Two throats would not accept a .358" pin, the rest would.
The two that had trouble, the pin would go up to the very end of the throat, just wouldn't go thru - maybe a burr. Got out a small oval diamond file, and just lightly stoked the very end, putting a tiny chamfer on the openings. Really, just took the burr off.
Worked like a champ ! now, to go shoot the thing.
Pic of my S&W 14s - top is the 14-3, bottom is a 14-6.
Cleaned some 380 brass and received 32lb lead from Acme.
I pound slugged 4 S&W .38 S&W revolver chambers and bores and 2 .32 S&W revolver chambers and bores, really learned alot. Now to call Swede at NOE!
Loaded up 20 - 12ga. Lee 1oz. Slug loads & 20 - 12ga. 00 Buck.

I made stocking stuffers in the reloading room. Black PC coated 9mm in brass cases for a niece, red PC coated .40 S&W in brass for another niece and her husband, red .38 RNFP in nickel cases for my brother and his wife. Total of 750 rounds.

almost completed my RCBD Trim Pro drill jig. This thing works great now keeping the drill in line.
Had a friend sharpen the cutter (he owns a saw and tool sharpening shop) and sharpened it on his end mill machine.
Now I can trim 9x19 to 9x18 in 3 seconds (after putting the brass in the chuck) with no burs
