    I started sizing 30 carbine brass.
    I found my new LEE carbide 30 carbine sizer does not like crimped primers at all! Every crimped primer pushes the decapping stem up, so every spent crimped primer I have to get the brass hammer on the LEE decapping stem to deprime the spent crimped primer.

    These are some really old 30 carbine brass. I remember Dad buying this brass when I was around 10 years old, 50 years later those crimped primers are a son of gun! haha

    Cast ~500 452460's with a Lyman 4 cavity mold. I forgot how heavy they can get after a hundred plus fills.

    About two more casting sessions and I'll have enough boolits to last me a couple of years.

    Threw 50 worn out 8x57 commercial cases in the scrap bucket. Made up 50 more from once fired LC 30-06. They should last forever shooting cast in them. Band sawed the initial length, annealed, full length sized, trimmed to length, tested in chamber. Then loaded them with the last of my 170g PBFN and Unique - real light "pop" loads.
    Resized 100 45-70 cases and threw them in the vibratory polisher. Reloaded 30 previously prepped ones with 405g PB and Buffalo Rifle.
    Installed a 3-way trimmer/chamfer head on the RCBS trimmer in anticipation of reloading a bajillion 223 cases. And to wrap up, on the workbench I re-crowned the 88 Commission rifle's barrel. It has shot OK for being dinged up, so never worried about cleaning it up before.
    Then on to domestic duties after 1100.

    Continuing the learning curve on reloading the 410 shotgun shells. I am slowly getting to the point where I can get shells that look almost as good as factory. james

    Yesterday I loaded 10 pcs of 7.65 Longue for my new to me SACM 1935A pistol. New Starline brass, 85 gr Sierra JSP bullets normally for 7.62 Tokarev / 7.63 Mauser, and Unique. Test fired today and the rounds functioned and were near POA at 25 yds. Used a set of special-run Lee dies for the 7.65 Longue that I was fortunate to find.

    I paper patched some .446 dia boolets for my 4570 pedersoli sharps. Now to locate some 4570 brass...scarce like hens teeth around these parts.

    Maybe you have tried this source. My kin in Alberta have gotten several hard to find items from them.

    Order of SS chips came in, so ran them alone most of the day. They looked clean in the bag but the water was filthy black when I poured it out.

    Loaded some 410 shell with a mixture of 8 and 8 1/2 lead shot just to play with my new 410 XRing survival kit. It laods really decent shell if you take your time and prep the hulls right.

    I have seen those! Your experience has been positive? I have had a Lee Loader for a few decades and enjoy using that from time to time.
