Sorry for the late reply lakehouse, I'm offering an empty bucket in return. Guys out here have to pay to have wheel weights taken so they are glad to offload to some schmuck willing to sort them and dispose of them however he wants. I enjoy being aforementioned schmuck.Originally Posted by Lakehouse2012
Ill try anything once, twice if I forgot
I sized/deprived about 150 .270 win. Then got to playing with my rcbs pro trimmer 2. Trimmed them all to 2.530, then deburred and chamfered.
I learned that I need the 10 dollar drill adapter so I can use my porter cable impact driver. I also learned that the 3 way cutter is on my birthday wish list haha

Used up the last of my RE 15 on a few a.i. loads.

Had a long weekend (5 days) and even though I had huge plans to catch up on reloading it didn't quite work out that way but I still was able to find some time to get some done.
Loaded 500 rds of 300BO, 150gr over 296
450 rounds of .45 with my new 200gr HP cast bullets
300 9mm 124gr TC
450 ish .38 special 148gr wadcutters
Ended up spending a ton of time switching over die plates and not enough time just pulling the lever.

Polished 9mm brass, corn cob and NuFinish; lubed 200 grain .45ACP slugs. Shooting tomorrow
A friend wanted some powder coated boolits and did not care what color, SO this is what I gave him.
He said "Great, jelly beans".

Just staying at home and playing with multi-color boolits.
If he's OCD, it's going to take him an hour to segregate those. haha!!!!

Worked up and loaded the 100 cases I have for my Schuetzen rifle. No dies yet so I put it off until I'm about out then jump through all the hoops. I dearly love obscure cartridges but sometimes it's pain in the aft section.

It was -8 this morning, and I awoke to 15 inches of snow in SW Idaho. I have not had my P/U out of 4-lo since Christmas. Ran the propane heater to warm the garage, and FL sized 500 Hornady Match 308 cases, then trimmed them to 2.015" with my Giraud tri-trimmer. Trims to length and chamfers casemouths both inside and outside at the same time.
Tomorrow is the Nampa, ID, semi-annual gun show. Look at all the goodies, then come home and weigh out all those cases in .1gr increments and stash them in the new pile of
Dillon Blue 50 round boxes Mamma got me for Christmas.
Watch some college basketball in the evening and fondle my repro 1895 higrade 405 Winnie.
Look forward to the Inauguration in a few days...
Life is very, very good.

Cast some 9 mm 358125RF but nothing worked very well today. Wanted to do about 500 but got about 150 questionable ones. Only difference from last time I used these molds was the ambient temp in the garage was way colder today.

Loaded a hundred 7/8 oz of 9 shot in WAA12 claybuster wads over 19.3 grains of Clays powder. Should be good for 1,300 fps. Great for busting clay birds within twenty yards.

Well I usually work on Saturday every week (Saturday is my Friday) but we got a couple inches of snow last night and some pretty cold temperatures, so i didn't open the training site today. I did however take a stroll up to the shop and sized and trimmed 500 pieces of 223. Then ran a couple hundred 9mm on my loadmaster.
What if..... you woke up today with only the things you thanked God for yesterday?
