    I looked out the window at my shop with the storm damaged flue pipe and said not today too cold.

    My hand press is in a box behind me but just not feeling it today.

    Not in the reloading room, but I finally finished trimming the 976 pieces of 30 Carbine brass I got off of Gunbroker. Took me about a week sitting in front of the TV and using the RCBS prep center with a Lee trimmer installed. About half were WRA 52 so I had to swage those ones too.

    Still have about 4000 pieces to go. At this point I'm wondering if I'll actually get them all done in my lifetime.

    Which cast mold did you use? I need one for lever action.

    Loaded up about 500 of these 148 gr PC button nose wadcutters in 38 special. Same as Lyman 358091, but I've got a Cramer mold, no bevel base. First time posting a pic from my own files, hope it comes out right side up.

    ETA: Well, dunno what I can do different. But, when you click on it, to bring it up in a separate frame, it flips it 90 degrees, like I loaded it.

    It is a lee 90366.
    Flat nose gas check.
    Board won't let me load pics but if you need a pic of the projectiles pm me your email addy or cell number and I'll email or text you a pic.
    These should be decent in 30-30

    EBay has a few up right now. No retailers I've found have them.

    Got the casting fever today,so cast up 4.5 pounds of 311-165 RD slugs, thanks to A fellow member who sold me a mold, 7.53 pounds of Lee. 312-155 for use in the .308 and. ‘06, and 5 pounds of
    Lee 30-150 RNFP for the30/30. Now to powder coat and size, then gas check . That’s enough for today.
    I firmly believe that you should only get treated by how you act, not by who or what you are!!

    While having morning coffee.. I mentally planned out what .358 mold I was going to dig thru my pile and look for and decided to sort thru a bag of range brass. All of this was planning.. nothing actually has happened.. yet.

    Condolences for your loss, hope loading a few for your dad's gun helps bring him back a bit.

    What I do there?

    Shivered! Then fired up the wife’s Kubota and plowed snow! (It’s got a heated cab)
