    I didn't do anything. Too cold and rainy to venture out to the shed.






    Very attractive display!

    First try at handgun bullet casting. Got some molds in the mail today from Reed1911, so I figured I’d give it a shot. .40 cal Lee mold. 175gr SWC. Powdercoated HF red.

    My backup "Drip o' matic" arrived today, so I remelted all my failed Hi-Tek boolits back into ingots, so I can cast tomorrow and give Hi-Tek a 2nd go.

    Made a couple of 25 round 12 Ga Shot shell loading blocks last night so I made 10 more Lyman 525 Slugs to test drive them.

    - Loaded 50 rounds of 40 S&W with 135gr Noslers and Longshot. They should haul butt.
    - Processed 50 pieces of new Remington 308 brass.

    That's about it. I was slacking today.
