Today I cast a few hundred 9mm bullets. The mold is a six cavity Lee .356 124 grain round nose tumble lube. I was using straight range scrap ingots.
I'm starting to get the hang of this casting thing!
Then I finished off the day by casting 105# of new range scrap ingots.
websterz,
Looks like your set on range scrap... for a while anyway LOL!
Those 9mm's look great, good job!
Looked for a 500ct box of starline 45 colt brass I've misplaced.
Loaded 350 rounds of 45lc with a 250 gr Round Flat Nose
Made glue stick wadcutters for indoor practice.......I am in Warminster Bucks County North of Filtydelphia
In the background of the last pic you can see my 400# strategic reserve. Yeah, I'm good for a few more bullets I think. LOLOriginally Posted by taco650
Cast a bunch of Mihec the other day and today finally got a good technique down for pan lubing.
So far..just sat here at the computer reading a lot of great info on Cast Boolits.gunloads.com.

Had plans to load some 303 British with my 224 gr 316299 knock offs & IMR4320 so reorganized the bench some and swapped out powder in the thrower. Went looking for my large rifle primers and found that I only had exactly 3! How I ended up with an oddball number like that I'll never know. I knew I was getting low but... Mrs. Taco got me a $50 gift card to Midway for Christmas but with the hazmat fees and shipping, $50 won't cover one box of a hundred. Wish I'd stocked up years ago when everything was less $$$!!!
Loaded up 30 100 grain plinkers for my mosin 91/30 and cleaned two rifles. Prepped 45 berdan primed 30-06 brass and trying to decide if I want to use my Remington BDL 700 strickly for cast or shoot both condom and cast in it.
I walked by it on the way out the door to go to work.
Lubed and sized about 300 H&G#68's.
Did 50 Rounds of .338 WM that will, hopefully, get me through the end of the freezer-restocking this year.
Today was clean-up day. Straightened up the bench and put some things back in their place. Then I dumped this years haul of range brass out on a towel, grabbed a hand full of loading trays and went to sorting. Now I'll probably build a fire in the fireplace, mix a drink and kick back. Cheers!
Nothing special,
just cleaning some 38 special nickel plated with my modified concrete mixer.

Moved some sizing dies into a new storage box since I have to many for the old box. Went to HF and bought a cutoff saw to make 300 BLK brass. Was setting up the jig when a friend called. Bailed on that for free food and beer at the firehouse because it's Member Appreciation Day
+30 lbs. of lead yielding + 850 300 Blk. slugs...
Loaded up 40 rounds of 7.62 x 38. Mixture of Privi and Bertram brass and Privi 98g projectiles over 2.5gns of Unique. Used a M1 Carbine neck expanding die to get correct mouth width. A .310 Cadet shell holder for the Privi brass and Lee 19 for Bertram brass.
Did some cleaning up. Put new brass that I got today in the mail and some from a while back into containers and labeled. Finally put some sizing dies into my drawer I built for them.
