    I got all 1,100 boolits sized today. Tomorrow I'll be cleaning brass probably all day. I have over a 5 gallon bucket full of brass that needs cleaned and I only have a small vibratory tumbler.

    Nothing! I have cast and lube sized about 2000 bullets lately in the last month and 1/2, finally the weather has cooled just a bit so Ive been to the beach and out on my boat enjoying the rest of the summer that's still here! As fall comes and I get time with leaves and home repair jobs the usual Ill be getting out to the range many times to shoot then finally repeat casting bullets lube sizing then reloading and shoot some more

    Did all the prep work for 128 30-06 brass which are destined for the M1 Garand. Now they're ready for primers. I would have done a LOT more but somehow, I snapped the decapping pin on my die. New one on order so in the meantime, I'm just doing a smaller batch.

    Fun stuff, regardless!

    I fixed to stocks today.

    My Savage 24 I just restocked has cracked again. I found that I didnt properly fit the sides and it cause dthe cracks. I have relieved the wood and glued it back together. Hoping its gonna hold.

    My Howa Mini was also re stocked with a Boyds lam stock. I pillar bedded it and floated the barrel. Its a supper shooter. But my attention was elsewhere since late last year. Moving it in the safe I found that the barrel channel had WARPED!! SO... I have re relieved the barrel channel.
    Then I decided to change the look and feel. Boyds stocks are quite blocky and unfinished. So I finished it! Smoothing everything, slimming the forend and fitting the grip.

    It went really quickly and Im very pleased with the slimmer stock lighter weight and better ergos!!

    Its laminated but I decided to paint it.

    Almost done with 2500 FMJ 5.56s.
    I need to charge seat about 150 more & that'll be it for them.

    I finally had time to load some tokarov rounds 7.62x25. I have a lee dies. The only ones I could find in that caliber. The seating die works but the radius on the bullet is getting into the die before it will do the crimp. Some will make it ok but most do not. Unsure what to do about this. May just have to buy a different Mold and cast some more. OH DARN! on the cast some more. Accurate has a mold but is 90 dollars. May just have to load those J brass clad lead cast ones and forget the other. Life is hard.
