    Cast some boolits from a new NOE 360-154 WFN to try in my Marlin. They finished out with gc and lube right at 159gr.
    While the lead was melted figured I'd go ahead and cast some from my 358156 too. My mold is single cavity so I'm pretty sure it's taking much longer to cast than shoot them up.

    I cast (NOE mold 270-151-RN), sized, installed GC's, and lubed some 150ish grain Boolits for my newly acquired Swedish Mauser made in 1915. Still waiting on brass to arrive.

    I'm loading Federal brass with H335 and the Lee C309170F for the 30-06. Remington 9-1/2M primers to light that ball powder. It's starting to sleet here so shooting can wait!

    We had sleet the night before last. There is still a pile in front of the loading room door this morning. Even the sun yesterday didn't melt it.

    Managed to clean and straighten a bit. Toyed with new case trimmer wondering if there is much future in Triming for 10 mill brass. Tired out quickly but getting to work was a win‼️

    Cast 34# of 45ACP 200 gr. SWC last 2 days and power coated same 2 different colors. Blue and red for 2 different loads. Temp outside stayed around 35-45’ all day but no winter mix just cold rain and mist.

    I finally got holt of some 350L brass, once fired, mixed headstamp, Winchester, Winchester, and Winchester. There were a few crimps which surprised me. I got 90 of them cleaned, sized and primed and 1 dummy round made up.

    I prepped some starline 41 mag brass. Sized, expanded, and primed. Then I realized I don't have a seating die. Also found out I need a lyman m die for 357 mag otherwise I would have prepped that too. Just need a mount for my Labradar and I'll be ready for testing.

    Sorted through a couple of 5gal buckets of brass and started cleaning and labeling them to be either stored or traded/sold. Been sitting on them for a couple months and need to get off my butt.

    Started the seemingly undoable task of moving my reloading room from my shop to a dedicated room in the house.. Ugh... This is gonna take a while! Will keep tumbling, trimming, brass prep, etc. out in the shop (i.e. all the 'dirty' work), but looking forward to having a 'clean' room for loading, cleaning guns, building guns, etc.. Just gonna take some time!!

    90 grs. The Lee TL 31490swc mould. I loaded those with 3.5grs of AA#2 and they were quiet. And quite inaccurate. Head scratching going on.

    3.5 grains of TiteGroup worked great at 25 yards or less with my Savage Axis in 308.

    Finally found the box with my master caster in it. I had it broken down into two pieces when packing for the move. Was glad to put it back together so I can get my new NOE mold set up an pour a couple thousand of 360-158-WFN-T4.
