Still working on loading the 5000 H&G 331's 9mm I cast and sized (6 cavity mould) over the winter. Load them on the Dillon 550. I load 500 or so, then make sure they are case guaged each and every one as I load them into the cartridge boxes. I have 2000 all ready to go in the nifty Dillon boxes now and do a few hundred or so every day.
Collector and shooter of guns and other items that require a tax stamp, Lead and brass scrounger. Never too much brass, lead or components in inventory! Always looking to win beauty contests with my reloads.
Loaded up 200 .45 colt. powders....Red Dot, BE86 and Unique. Boolits....200 rf and 255 swc.
finishing off the last of some 3,000 .223 brass I recently acquired! Stainless pin tumbled, lay them out to dry, then begin processing! Same thing for 30/06, 270, and now some 7/08's. nothing too ambitious yet. (working nights is putting a crimp in my shooting).
I firmly believe that you should only get treated by how you act, not by who or what you are!!
Started working up my load for 158 grain SWC for my 38 special.
Loaded 5 of each with HS-6 5.8 gr., 5.9 gr., 6.0 gr.
Will take them up to the range in the morning and use the Chrony and see what I get for accuracy.
Looking to get about 906 fps to replicate the Buffalo Bore 158 grain HP non +P load for practice.
I sized some 300 Savage brass and dropped them in the tumbler. Have some 30-40 Krag brass coming in tomorrow. That should be fun.

Just opened my first H&G mould and cleaned it out! It is heating on the hotplate now to fully dry and lubricate for my first round of casting with it.
1000 or so 9mm RCBS 356 124gr TC over 3.6 of WSF.

Stuck CCi primers in about 400 45acp case`s last night.
cCleaning cases at the moment. Sized some 303 Brit into 30 US last night and lube/sized/GC'd some 312299's. Hoping to load a bit later. Ran out of Hornady GC's and finally got around to trying Gator checks. Don't believe I'll be buying any more Hornady checks.

Why are you using. 303 British for 30-40? Don't the necks come out too short?Originally Posted by TXGunNut

had a good day casting emptied the pot twice. really considering the pro-melt the more my lee 4-20 drips on me. once I get another 1000 or so cast I will coat with hitek and start reloading again.
Yes, but they're all I can find right now. Seems to be a pretty common practice. Loaded a few 312299's over 20grs 5744.
Loaded my first CB 30-06's tonight. Never really intended to do that but they won't get shot or go hunting until I do. Looaded the 312299's over 3031.
Funny. 30 US and 30 Govt in the same night. Yes, it was a bit confusing.

Removed stuck cases from my .223 Rem RCBS die twice, and from a Hornady .223 die once. I've had one stuck case in 30 years, then three in about the last 10 days.
After getting that resolved I've resized and decrimped primer pockets on roughly 600 .223 cases. Reprimed 300 of them, as well as 30x .30-06. Resized 50x .357 Mag, 50x .38 Spc and 20x .45-70. Tumble lubed 300x Lee 358-125 with BLL to load in .38 Spc this coming week.
Picked up 5000x S&B small rifle primers at the new Cabelas that just opened up nearby. Should keep me in stock for service rifle till 2018 or so.
Sized & lubed some .45 boolits, then loaded 25 .45acp rounds w/ red dot.

Did I ever mention that I hate to trim brass?
