Sorted out a donated tub full of bullets and brass and powder! Christmas in May!
Loaded up 100 rounds of .223, then escaped to my favorite shooting place with a .22, bolt 223 and trusty A3 03 and perferated some paper. Had a ball.
This weekend I built some side shelves for my brass bins on the side of my casting station. I can hold 12 bins (3 in each shelf).
Loaded Lee 150 fn 308 boolits from my new Lee mold that i cast last week .the previously cast batch I gave to a mate for his 3030 .20 rounds to see how they go .then loaded 95 357 mag with 195 gr boolits (that was all I had of that weight).day off not wasted.
Sized trimmed expanded primed 20 308 I'd forgotten to prep last week .
Nice work! But be warned...'organization' is the early warning signs of OCD! . . .Originally Posted by Sghinds

True. I mainly saw an opportunity to use some space that wasnt being utilized. The white drawers came from a bunk bed I built for my kids years ago and have had sitting in the garage for a while. When I built the rolling cart, I made the top fit the space left over from my bench. I did store some little things in the far left area, but was working in the garage one day prepping brass and set the bin in the hole and thought, I could store all my brass in this space, so I used scraps of plywood I had laying around.Nice work! But be warned...'organization' is the early warning signs of OCD! . . .
Nice to use up scrap wood/drawers and come away with a space to dedicate to my casting.
I've been doing the same thing for decades, especially scrap pieces of steel that I use to make little brackets and such...the scrap pile piles up quick but...every little piece is just waiting to become something else!
That's full blown OCD...oh well, it could be worse!

Turned pipe lead into ingots. About 20 pounds worth.

Agreed.
Thank you sirs. Haven't cast in a while but needed the ammo, lubing bullets can get old when you underestimate how much you've actually made

Got my lee hardness tester. My stockpile of lead is only 12.5 BH. Probably explains why it doesn't do so hot in rifles
Maybe it's time to start reading about heat treating.

Todays project in the reloading room was to install a ceiling fan with improved lighting. Accomplished !

Hi.
Around 1800 32 sw long wc hb 98 gn from a 4 cav brass mp mold, in 6 work hours.
Greetings from España.
Yesterday I sized, lubed & checked some 44 boolits until my Lyman 450 ran out of lube.
Today's project is to make more lube LOL! At least I have all the ingredients this time.
