    Got 75 # of #9 shot polished and graphited today. Got another 65# to go.
    Also got another 75 rounds of 300 B.O. blasting ammo loaded. Went to the range and sighted in a .22 rifle scope AND shot 3 rounds of skeet! Busy day today!

    On Saturday, broke in my new Lee TL 356-124-TC. Rough start but stuck with it and started turning out good ones after smoking it a few times and finally finding the temp it likes.

    I finished setting up the kit form Inline Fabrication on my Lee Classic Cast Turret press reverse rotation and the finger that pushes the finish round out, down the little slide and into the plastic tray. Then I loaded about 75 rounds of 223 with cast boolits. Thank you Inline Fabrication for a very functional system.

    Couple nights ago I cut up about 1/2 gallon of LC 223 brass down to the much better cartridge 300 Blackout. I lubed and sized them tonight.
    Into the tumbler for a couple hours now to clean them.
    Looks like I need to order some more media. Down to 3 or so gallons. Anyone else buy media by the 50 pound bag around here? I'm thinking there might be a good percentage.

    Neat looking over shot card wad design. Did you find a bunch that made them like that or make your own punch of that design? I need to load some of these for my No. 1 Lee Enfield smooth bore single shot musket chambered in .410 Musket ...

    Loaded the 900+ pounds of ingots from the last two smelting days into milk crates. After while I'll probably scrap up the little splashes of spilled lead and finish storing the smelting tools away.

    Picked up 7 55gallon drums and 20 5gallon buckets for storing brass. Dirty brass goes in drums and clean brass gets stored in buckets with lids and packed away for later.
