    Looked in the door. Tomorrow is range day so I'll have some feedback from the rounds I loaded a few weeks back. May sort some WW's tomorrow, scored an 80# bucket this week and have four about like it in the shed. May get to do a smelting session in a week or two.

    Yes, I could run out of primers, been there before and I am down to 1000 large rifle. Out of brass, no way and the solution to that is easy, just go shoot some to make more empties.

    Had a little time after splitting wood and before supper so I got 20# of monotype rendered and poured into ingots.
    Do you want fries with that?

    Powder coated several hundred bullets for 9mm/38 Super. Then I set up one of the Dillon's to do .357.

    Reloaded 5 boxes of 12 ga shells, loaded 20 test rounds of 357 max, and installed 2 grind to fit recoil pads on my buddy's shotguns

    New bench

    Had a good weekend... My shooting bud and I built a new bench, 10'x27.5". This thing is built old school stout, now to get some special carpet on it and the presses and such. We have $125 in this, we did have to buy most of the lumber and the fasteners.

    Then I hung a range hood above the casting bench and now I can get the flex duct and dryer vent for it!

    Nice bench, mattw!

    Too pretty around here today to spend much time in the reloading room, I grabbed an armful of test loads and headed for the range!

    I poured about 300 boolits from a Winchester 32 WCF mold I recently acquired. Plan to feed these through a Colt Police Positive and a Winnie '73.

    Prepped about 200 pieces of 223. Nothing but trouble I've written about elsewhere but learned a few things too. Setup a table giving me extra work area in the reloading space.

    Today I cast some .45 ACP bullets, I also honed my lee sizer out to a true 452. I drilled and tapped 2 lee molds to accept a set screw for the sprue plate screw. Tumbled some brass and deprimed some other brass. I love snow days.

    Put a brand new RCBS .310 sizer die & top punch into my Lyman 450. Hope to get the lube melted and poured into the reservoir tomorrow. Hope it stays soft enough in my unheated garage to size some boolits cuz I don't have a heater.

    I use a small propane soldering torch and heat up the casting a little. Some put a 100 watt work light up to it.

    I ran about 400 pieces of 40 s&w brass thru the Lee bulge buster and left them in the tumbler to polish. This was after I "unlocked" a friends M&P 40 that had jammed up on a glock bulged brass. I warned him of the possibility (experience speaking)

    Loaded some 44 special for the flattops.

    Now, it is time to warm the 429421 up for a session.

    Tried out my new .356 Star sizing die from Lathesmith finally. And a punch.
    Pumped a buncha 356-402 120gr TC lube gruves full of Blue Angel hard lube.
    Then I ran outta boolits. Too cold and rainy outside to cast more so I played pinball.

    The best thing about pinball machines in the reloading room is you can play a pinball machine for hours
    and when you stop you have the same amount of powder and primers as when you started!
