Sorted a bunch of wheel weights. I loaded up some 223 last night. Need to run out to the range and test them for accuracy.

Flared some 9mm and flared and reprimed a few 30/30 brass. I also tried my hand at putting a paper patch on three boolits for the 30/30 but I dunno how that's going to work.

Did I ever mention that I hate to trim brass?
I was supposed to be casting with my new NOE 360-148 HB mould only to find it missing from my locked mailbox after seeing USPS tracking states delivered yesterday (Sunday). Super frustrated right now....
Set up 458 SOCOM dies and sized 25 new cases to make sure they are in spec. Made a dummy round for two different bullets, need to get the rifle built to go shoot some, but they sure look cool.

Loaded three 30/30 rounds with the paper patch boolits. I ran them through the Lee sizer , dipped them again in JPW and put a mild load of H380. I dunno when I'll get to try them. I also loaded a box of 9mm, using sr primers instead of sp primers, and will load another box tomorrow if all goes well. I gotta shoot up the loads with the .358 diameter boolits in my Ruger as my CZ 75 SP-01 does not like them.

It's 108° out. After working outside all day its hard to stay in the shop with just fans blowing.
So - not much. I did play with my new mini chop saw a bit.

Cleaned my Lee pot ,first time in 20 years because it was blocked up then it was constantly dripping .the crud that was in was amazing ,then lapped the rod to the spout .like a new pot now so cast 150x358 180gr. Boolits ,tumbled lubed them .good day today .
Primed, neck sized, and flared 250 270win cases with my 310 tool in the hotel room.
Got all 1,200 .40's coated. 300 loaded. Been busy planning / running matches so the reloading has been sporadic at best. Rimfire today, 3 Gun tomorrow!

I finished up a big run of .357 sig ammo. BE-86 behind an accurate bullet I cast. I have already gone thru about 1,000 from this lot. I primed well over 6,000 cases

At one with the gun.
When the sun goes down I'm going to fireform 8x57mm ammo I made from 25-06 & .270 brass.
10.5grs of Unique and old mangled pulled fmjs. 113 degrees right now, it'll be a nippy 105 at dusk.
I picked up a NOE 360-148 HBWC on account of how many people rave about these. Made 20 of them to test. Never shot any before so I’m excited to try these tomorrow.
One thing I ran into was since I PC, the thickness ended up being ~.3637-.3640 for cylinder throats that .358 boolits fit snugly in with fingernail pressure ( I don’t have pin gauges). So I had to size them twice to get them to fit without shearing off PC. First in .360 then .358.

Saturday, I sized 600+ and loaded 400 40's. Mostly using my "NURPLE" 40's but I did load last fifty or so with the new "ERASERS" for my Charity steel match I shot on Sunday. https://activeheroes.org/event/aimin...-harwinton-ct/
300+ rounds sent down range zero ammo issues. I was very pleased.

Sized and lubed some 38 snakebite, it's black powder lube so it's soft and those groves fold a lot and makes things a little messy but not as bad as doing 45's
Just finished sizing the last of The results of JULY 4th's casting session. 700 from the N.O.E. TL432-240-RF , A FANTASTIC MOLD. My 1st TL bullet. Gonna tumble them in 45-45-10 from WLL. Have the wax paper already on the cookie sheet. Then off to sleepland.
I HATE auto-correct
Happiness is a Warm GUN & more ammo to shoot in it.
My Experience and My Opinion, are just that, Mine.
