Got ready to cast Lee C309150F for Marlin 30-30 and AR15 7.62x39 and alternate with the Lee TL410swc. I store my moulds with boolits in them so I measured them and it’s a go with .311” and .411”.

Just finished loading up 25 rounds of 32 ACP with 1.8 grains of red dot at .984 with a Berrys J word. I bought a thousand while waiting for my mold. Didn't know Tom was gonna have it to me in a week! The last 100 rounds I loaded with 2 grains of red dot and they were a little hot. The NAA Guardian was stinging my hand but was pretty accurate for what it is. Got to use my new to me Little Dandy measure I found new in the box, sourcing rotors from some very fine folks here on the forum. That thing is very good at measuring.
Powdercoated and resized about 2/3 of the boolits from yesterday. ~350 or so. And while waiting on the oven to bake, resized/deprimed/reprimed 150 40 S&W.

Yup love that lil Dandy!! I picked up a second older flat sided body and it leaks a bit more than my newer one.

Loaded up 200 40 S&W. 5.5 grains of unique. So much nicer than watching TV. At about 2$ a box of 50 it is the only way I can afford to shoot.
Cool & rain this afternoon so I cast a pot of these. The 309s will be PC and the others TL. My first wadcutters! Thanks Brassmagnet!

Finished PCing my 40s and resized/deprimed/reprimed another 150 40 s&w... That is a cathartic thing to do...
Pretty sure I'm near 1000 primed cases. REALLY need to load them!

Nothing much. Just returned from a Prairie Dog trip and sorted a bunch of fired brass that got mixed up with some loaded ammo. Probably finish unloading the truck in a bit, store away the sand bags and clean a couple of rifles.
decapped and resized 500 .380 cases and tossed a few hundred in the wet tumbler
I just test fired as cast Lee 358105 SWCs over 5 grs Bullseye in the 9mm Shield and I like it.
Finally found a suitable toaster oven with a convection fan while out sale-ing today to use for PCing. Wife promptly took it into the kitchen. Dang.
Looking for USGI M1 and carbine rifle parts, please PM me.
Loaded up 200 40 S&W. Then gathered my boolits I PC'd and water quenched the other day. They are HARD - they clink and it's 4:1 WW to Lino... Shouldn't be that hard! Should test 'em by my BHN thing isn't very good...

loaded 200 rounds of 9mmP with Lee 120 TC bullet and 5.5gr S221 powder, Win small pistol primers. sized 100 Lee C312 -185-1R and tumble lubed for my Lee Enfield, loaded 200 rounds of .357 with Lyman 358429 over 13.5gr S25
Nothing. Wife is off for a few weeks until school starts back up so we cleaned windows, curtains, and a few other things. God only knows what she has in store for tomorrow.... She's looking at some bedroom furniture and wants to sell an antique dresser and vanity, and an exercise machine that the cat just lays on.

Did I ever mention that I hate to trim brass?
Cast 50 .360 160 grain SWC from a new to me used NOE mold. Had some hardball alloy in the melter so just used that. Made some really nice boolits. Can't wait to try them, but will have to garden and yard work are a priority this time of year. Along with some painting and staining chores.
I'm also in a group buy for a .360 HP mold that should drop a 163 grain boolit so I expect the SWC and HP may prove accurate with the same loads so I can paper punch with the SWC and switch to the HP that will shoot the same. It's good to have dreams they say.
Scrap.... because all the really pithy and emphatic four letter words were taken and we had to describe this source of casting material somehow so we added an "S" to what non casters and wives call what we collect.
Kind of hard to claim to love America while one is hating half the Americans that disagree with you. One nation indivisible requires work.
