    Turned on the a/c in the shed, when it cooled a bit I cast some bullets for my .357. Sometime next week I'll sort, size and lube them.

    Today I sized and lubed most of the boolits I cast yesterday. I got to snooping around and found a bag with a whole bunch of "as cast" 170 gr gc boolits. I put a check on ten of them and loaded up some .357 rounds with .7cc of Herco. Still have to get my revolver from the gunsmith as he's finished fixing my rear sight.......

    Finally got to assemble some ammo. Not just prep components. Loaded about 50 .25 acp lyman 51 gr boolit a/1.5 gr green dot. Did this by sizing & living some boolits then loading, sizing then loading etc. Kept the boredom down.

    500 rounds of 45 Auto. Now to shoot them!

    Cleaned up the bench, shelves, & room, a bit.....

    I do not enjoy it though... It is a chore. Rather make rounds instead, but it has to be done on occasion.

    Finally got around to putting my A2 press back together.


    Now I need to get around to ordering parts so I can get the LAM1 back together.

    Didn't load today, but I made reloading opportunities in 380/200, 30-40 Krag, 30 carbine, 30-06, 450/400 N.E.,
    416 Rigby, 470 N.E. and 480 Ruger.

    It was a very good day.

    Got all of the 7.62x39 ammo loaded (about 700 rounds in total) so today I'm going to re-form some brass for my .338 /.303 British Martini single shot. (It was it was a commercial large action Martini sporter with a worn out barrel that was re-bored and re-rifled by Ron Smith out in Alberta.) I'm heading up to the rifle range tomorrow to meet a buddy and do some shooting and I haven't shot this .338 /.303 Martini in ages so I'll neck expand some of my surplus .303 brass, load them up with some suitable cast boolits, and fire-form some more brass for it tomorrow.
    I may have passed my "Best Before" date, but I haven't reached my "Expiry" date!

    Not in the room but from the room. Shooting reloads at my backyard range.
    Old propane tanks are tuff, rattle cans not so much. 44 mag and reloads and a pic of some of my targets.
    The spread boolit is a found bouncer, came back so slow I could track it just by eye.

    Loaded my stash of REAL .358 Win brass with 10.5 grs of Red Dot and Lee 150gr swc. Onward with my 40 yard low recoil shooting. I've done the 30-30 and .303 Brit already.

    In the last week I prepped 100 380s to discover I was out of 358-88 RF .
    So I ran a box of 45 ACPs , good thing I'm putting the in moon clips . Only had 49 boolits .
    I took a bucket of assorted final cut rejects to the casting bench and "found" a "lost" 311-165 RD NOE I forgot I had so ........

    Today I ran 200 or so ea 358-88 , 458-340 RF , 311-165 RD STD groove PB/GC , and 454424 .

    I swear I have to get a list of what I have for a reference because while the pot was warming up I found 3 moulds I'd completely forgotten about and determined that I have at least 2 I'm sure have but can't find .
