    That's a lot of 44 mag brass.

    Cleaned and sorted 44 mag and 223 brass.

    Sorted and weighed the last batch of .32 80gr boolits while the pot and lubrisizer were beating up. Cast the same boolits till I was tired of it. Lubed and sized sorted boolits. Then seated PB gas checks on them. Next time lather rinse repeat till all the checks are used up. Then load them in 7.62x25 for my Posh 41 and 2 TT-33s. Then cast more for my Astra 1916.

    Just changed the barrel on my Glock 22 with a 9mm conversion barrel...
    Now I guess I need to make some more 9's, and can now do cast ...😉

    started rendering chunks and lumps of grey antimonius material into super gorgeous ingots, got 3 milk crates full, should be a good start on my casting inventory for this winter.

    Sorted through another big pile of fired brass and another batch will go into the ss pin tumbler tomorrow. Sorted a bunch of odds and ends of junk ammo that was donated to the cause and will pull it all down to salvage the brass and bullets (plus I will save any live primers for fire-forming duties).
    I may have passed my "Best Before" date, but I haven't reached my "Expiry" date!

    Working some .308 brass to make some .45 Colt jackets. I did get 50 or so annealed, started with 3 to get the posses down. Still working out the bugs but it looks like they will come out to right at 300 grans.

    Finished tumbling my working stock of 44 magnum brass and started sizing and tumbling my working stock of 9mm brass. Took a break and hit 2 parts stores and an implement dealer looking for "O" rings to rebuild my Lyman 450. Tested an ingot for hardness and did an acid test for a buddy. Drilled and tapped a Lee mold for a set screw for the same buddy. Watched the Sun set while sitting in the shop door with a beer!

    Yep, I get it...boring. But...just like a fine paint job, the finished product depends on preparation. It all pays off when your looking at all those 'X's' in the bullseyes.

    Last night I sat in front of the TV and cut out the crimp, uniformed the primer pocket, and trimmed about 400 pieces of 308. Have about 900 left to do.

    Even with the RCBS prep center and a Giraud trimmer, it's tedious work.

    I already have 5-6K pieces of fully prepped 308 brass sitting in bags. Not sure why I keep doing this...

    I ran about 1,300 125 grain RN 9mm bullets through the new-to-me (lightly used) Magma Lube Master. Its dialed in and working great. I just test fired 6 rounds through my G17. They work great. Now all I have to do is fire up the Bullet Master this weekend for a few hours and I will have me a pile-o bullets.
