Loaded a box of 9 mm with Bullseye. First time I've been able to load anything​ since my surgery, and I have to get more surgery Wednesday.

Good to see you busy Tom. What do they want this time?

Loaded 250 9mm today and about 800-900 4o SW yesterday.

Received an NOE 454-230-rn from a member on this site today. I cleaned it and cast just under 300 boolits with it. I ran them through the Lee sizer and tumble lubed them. They should be good to load tomorrow.

They want to put a port into my chest so they can start chemo. I told them the port needed to be on the left side so it would not interfere with my rifle shooting, should I resume it.

Cast and sized a couple hundred 230gr RN 45acp pills. Also loaded a ladder test for the 357 mag rifle using H110 and 135gr cast rounds.

Adjusted my FL sizing die to the right length to form some 7x57 Mauser to shoot in my new (to me) South American Remington Rolling Block. It has a typical long headspace chamber of the old military 7mm's before the cartridge was standardized so I had to ensure that the shoulders on the brass I formed came out at the correct length for my rifle. Tomorrow I'll load up a bunch of 175 round nose bullets to fire form in it on this Friday's trip up to the range ...

Did you used 7x57 brass or reform something else to accommodate the longer headspace?

[Reverend Al]

I already had a bunch of Federal and Winchester 7x57 brass, but I use a tapered expanding mandrel to expand the case mouths from 7mm up to 30 calibre first. Then I adjusted the 7x57 FL sizer down a quarter turn at a time until I could just close the block and the hammer would go all of the way down. Then I locked my sizer die at that length (this is the only 7x57 I have at the moment). I'll be reloading light, low pressure loads in this rifle anyway (the previous owner recommended 34.0 grains of IMR4064) but I will also seat the 175 grain round nose bullets out to "kiss" the rifling to ensure that the cases fire form at the correct length.

Got the casting room cleaned up and Radios moved just around the corner from the from the casting Bench,

[OS OK]

I took a Lee .358 158 RNF, 6 gang mould I bought used and 'cleaned the tar' out of it with Acetone and a toothbrush (hope the wife doesn't find out!) and I sat down and enjoyed the afternoon...played a Buddy Holly CD, had a few cold Millers and ..."Wallagh!"
