    Well, I can't seem to put the photo up, I cast about 15 pounds of 9mm boolits with my drip-o-matic and 6 cavity mold.

    Taught my son how to reload for his 22-250 from cleaning brass to seating projectiles. Now 2 of his friends are asking me to teach them and help them with what gear to buy too! Gotta keep passing it down.

    Today will be a smelting day. And tomorrow. Hopefully this will finish up our last haul and I can get everything put up and out of my shop floor. I have a couple of "new to me" molds that I want to cast with but there have been 2 pallets of weights sitting in front of my work bench!

    Sorted a big batch of recently wet tumbled brass and then annealed it all ...
    I may have passed my "Best Before" date, but I haven't reached my "Expiry" date!

    Smelting wheel weights again. Waiting on a couple of friends to arrive, then we hope to finish up today. Have been at it for a few weekends now and ready to find that last bucket! Its been a job but never really too bad. There have always been at least 2 of us working and this has made the job more enjoyable! Hope to post up some pictures once we get through.

    After several hrs of cleaning, I looked around to realize I still have a mess.
    Where did all this STUFF come from?
    Information not shared. is wasted.

    Almost done sizing and lubing @600 Lee .452 230gr. RN boolits that I cast a few days ago. Then I'll switch the sizing die in my other sizer out for a .358, and lube and size a couple hundred Lachmiller .358 148gr. wadcutters.

    I powder coated my first boolits. Turned out better than I thought. Would also appreciate any of you Old School Gentlemen's comments on my proposed boolit design in my other post. Good casting and shooting to all.
