    Started to clean up an old Lyman 45 Lub/Sizer. Old dried out lube from not being used in many years I am sure.

    Teaching my daughter

    Teaching my daughter how to reload, so we loaded up 100 rounds of .45 ACP 200gr SWC over 4gr Bullseye for her to shoot in her Kimber CCII.

    I ran 300 #429667 thru my old Lube-Sizer. .430dia with White Label BAC.
    I HATE auto-correct

    Happiness is a Warm GUN & more ammo to shoot in it.

    My Experience and My Opinion, are just that, Mine.

    Loaded up 40 45-70 with 20 grains of 2400 some with a wad of toilet paper some without .see if it makes any difference to accuracy.

    Continued debulging .40 brass. This is bought from a range. Lots of .40s with oversized chambers. Some with very tight chambers, (No buldge).

    I'm starting on my "Just in case" stash of 9mm. I have a jug nearly full of 45 ACP ammo that works quite well in my 2, 45 ACP pistols and is a known performer (mebbe 350 rounds) that's handy to grab if I need them "just in case". I'm starting on a bunch of 9mm ammo that will work in my 3, 9mm pistols that performs good and feeds reliably in my 3 pistols. I have about 150 so far, mixed brass, CCI sm pistol primers with a medium-high load of Universal. I have fired this load out of my Ruger LC9s into water jugs and got penetration through 3 jugs and entered the 4th. Clocked at 1075 from the short barreled Ruger and got 3" groups, rested in hand, at 10 yards. Recovered bullets showed good expansion to 3/4". I'm sure this load will work well in any 9mm pistol, and if I have to evacuate (nearly had to due to forest fires last summer) I can just grab my "9mm Bag" that has 2 pistols and about 200 rounds (so far). I was never a Boy Scout, but I believe in "Be Prepared"...

    Loaded a box of 452-374s over Bullseye yesterday. Shot them today. Started really accurate which diminished quickly. I read the notes I had and they said "leaded". Not a fan of this bullet. I spent some elbow grease getting the streaks of lead out of my 1911 barrel.
    You can miss fast & you can miss a lot, but only hits count.

    Last three Days have been suitable for work outside in my Reloading shop (back patio) so I have 300 5.7x28mm cases three Steps into reforming to .278" body diameter for my Wildcat .25ACP/.25Stevens long derivatives. One more swaging step and then the trimming, flash hole drilling and deburring to go to finish this batch.

    Pulled down 120 rounds of 7.62x54R surplus ammo. Adjusted powder charge down, and reassembled.
    Roughly 2275 fps with steel jacketed Russian surplus. Feels like shooting a light .30-30 load.

    Loaded 25 rounds of .577 Snider. 62.5 grains FFFG is a pleasant load to shoot.

    Loaded a box of 9 mm, then lubed and sized a bunch with my Lee push through sizer and JPW. Probably gonna dip the boolits in some mule snot if I can find some mineral spirits to thin it with.

    45/45/10 lubed 50 - 158gr SWCs, sized them .358 & re lubed them getting ready for some .357M ladder test loading with Red Dot at 5.0/5.1/5.2/5.3/5.4. later today. Next is 50 - 148gr DEWCs that I will start the process when I start loading the SWCs.

    Cast Peanut butter jar of Lee 401-175-TC. I am only going to buy 6 cavity mold from Lee in the future. Switching between 2 cavity and 6 the quality difference is worth the extra $15. Plus you can cast mountains of bullets. Click image for larger version.
