    Loaded up 100 rounds of 45ACP with Lyman 452374 225 grain round nose over 4.1 WST. I don't know how fast they go but if I do my part right they tear a hole in the center of the target. With those results, I don't really care how fast they go.

    Processed 9mm brass. About 1200 pieces De-capped.

    Got ~ 350 washed, dried, primer pocket reamed, and in the tumbler. The rest of the De-capped brass will be done in batches about the same size.

    About another 800 pieces range brass still untouched.

    Received Powder Valley order for 200 (4x50) PPU 6.5x55 and 200 (2x100) PPU 7.65x53 cases. Was supposed to be 400 (4x100) 7.65x53, but PV only had 2x100 in stock, PV contacted me to see what I wanted to do, so switched to the mix. Very happy with PV customer service.

    Broke edge of the primer pockets on the 6.5x55 with RCBS deburring tool, then primed all 200 of them with S&B LR primers. Will do the 200 7.65x53 cases tomorrow.

    I started resizing .300 BO brass because I'm down to 20 loaded rounds (yikes)!

    I'll move some wheel weights around in the shop getting them lined up for another smelting day. I'll also be running a wet tumbler, processing more pistol brass. We put 2 full days in last Friday and Saturday around the smelting pot so I took a couple of days off to recover and do something with the Wife.

    Finished de-capping, washing, and primer pocket reaming about 2000 9mm brass. If I don't have to ream another primer pocket for awhile, it won't bother me much.

    Penultimate batch in the tumbler now, last batch tomorrow morning. Then, sort headstamps, and done.

    Wet tumbled and sorted a load of brass. Finally finished trimming a big pile of .223 / 5.56 brass with a loaned WFT man that was a whole lot easier than doing them with a hand crank in a Lee trim die. I'm set for the coming warm weather in that brass and want to get things cleared off to start on the next prep job.
    Scrap.... because all the really pithy and emphatic four letter words were taken and we had to describe this source of casting material somehow so we added an "S" to what non casters and wives call what we collect.

    Kind of hard to claim to love America while one is hating half the Americans that disagree with you. One nation indivisible requires work.

    started work on a tray for my inverted press used to size PC bullets

    It will have a tube running to the PCV ramp I've been using

    should keep me from dropping so many as all I have to do will be to slide loose bullets nose-first into tube on bottom of tray

    Sorting and labeling cast $ coated boolits.
    Discovered I have 116 pounds of 45/70 boolits, 405, 485 gc and 500
    if all 500 grn that would be over 1600 and I don't own a 45-70

    I was casting for others and got carried away

    I can either sell them or smelt them....

    Cleaned and cleaned and sorted all types of stuff. Found things I forgot about and things I wish I could forget about.

    Had some great temps today so thought it was a good time to get out there and put some hot lead into a couple of sabot molds.

    Today is going to be a smelting day. A buddy or two will be here in a little while and we will be turning wheel weights into ingots. We did about 1600# or so last Friday and Saturday. We should do more this weekend as we are already set up and used to working together.

    Cleaned, deprimed, sized and primed the .30-40 Krag I shot last week during bullet tests. Primed some .577 Snider to load later this weekend.
