Emptied and rearranged the shed. My part got a new cabinet to store powders and handloads. Still have to go and rearrange the bench, but now have a bit more room to place things. Still have some stuff to either sell or remelt.

Did I ever mention that I hate to trim brass?
Look at post 3483. I loaded and shot some of these today in a scoped Blackhawk. Instead of 296 I used surplus '4759' which is pull down powder from 30 carbine. Worked pretty good. The morning ice gave way to some rain and then that quit. It's wet and cold. Nice having a range out back.
The reloob was with a RCBS loob-sizer that I bought from someone here on the board and still had some soft green loob in it, so I used it.
It ain't rocket science, it's boolit science.
Loaed up 6 rounds of my new cast bullets 200g ...they averaged 205g ..with 11.5 g of Unique pushing it right at 1300 fps...shot real well, started with a clean gun 8 3/8 smith and they shot well checked the bore over real good and didnt see any signs of leading , this is my first time tumble lubing with 45-45-10 , eventually im going to try the hi-tech cook on stuff , man cave is going to look like a kitchen slash Lab after I add all the extras I have in store for it ... now im melting down pure lead into ingots that I recived in the mail today , will probly size and prime a bunch of brass after that , since it raining out I cant do much around the place here today , so I get to play today , Happy shooting everone

Loaded up 3500 rounds of 9mm: 124gr JHP, over 4.1gr VV N320, Fed SPP.... God bless Dillon 1050 with an autodrive.
Got the furnace going and cast 12 lbs of 358 91s, 6lbs of 357446 and about 5 lbs of 429421.
Alternated casting RCBS 35-200FP & LEE 309-150FP until the pot was empty. I'll sort/count/cull them tomorrow. My .300 BO, 30-30, & .358 are hungry. Misty and cold today- perfect casting weather. Best, Thomas.
just spent 5 hours polishing the internals of my sjogren auto shotgun to improve cycling. its of to the range tomorrow to see if there is any improvement. I hope so, there were lots of tool marks that are gone now.
Hello knappasarn

Felt the need to pull the ram on my special 5 cause it was sticking at one point. Pulled the ram on my Rock chucker too cause why not, already doing one. Cleaned the rams and sleeves and then gave them a little coating of Mobil 1 5w-30 full synthetic. Just like the truck. Both are slicker than snot on a doorknob now.
Ill try anything once, twice if I forgot
God bless America where we are still free to be able to waste a Saturday doing what we love, gota love it

I worked on lube sizing RCBS 30-150-CM that I had cast the other day and then finished casting what was in the pot. Now back to the sizer.

We have a saying in our house: No pity for self inflicted wounds!
Powder coated several hundred 9mm, 40cal and 45 casted Friday
Sorted more brass ... there is just no end to it ... (thankfully!) ...
I may have passed my "Best Before" date, but I haven't reached my "Expiry" date!
Finished sizing & lubing the 45 acp bullets I cast a month or so ago.
Just going to head down to the shop to start sizing and de-priming some .30-30's ... lots and LOTS of .30-30's ... (about 1,000 +) ...

I was casting and then my LEE Casting pot died. Off to Midway to go buy another one. Only took 18 years for this one to die.

I cast 100 9MM pills and lubed 160 .45 ACP's that I cast last weekend. It's raining and cold here so no shooting for me.

I didn't do anything in the reloading room but I did buy some stuff for the reloading room.
I bought some reloading presses from a friend of mine.
I bought a Dillon Square deal in 45 ACP. I also bought a Lee Pro 1000 as part of a package deal.
Going to Keep the Dillon sell the Lee
I may be dumb but I can lift heavy things
Cleaned and straightened it!
I also fondled some ingots. I just had to touch them.
