    Bought another lb of beeswax so now I have a few lube options to begin testing: pc, alox, Johnson wax, beeswax, some Vaseline and paraffin candles. Going to have to visit the lube forum

    Finished the 100 45ACp rounds yesterday. Gonna move on to 30-06 next... Already tumbled. Need to be prepped, OAL checked for consistency, inspected for issues, etc. Then, doing some researching & decide what powder(s) I might use this time.

    I hear you Rondaker, 22TCM can be a chore - my big headache is putting the gas checks on the boolet ! But it's just so darn fun to shoot !

    If you're gonna be stupid, don't pull up short. Saddle up and ride it all the way in.

    Today was a little long overdue cleaning. Emptying the trash can, sweeping the floor, hanging up a few tools. Put a batch of range brass in the tumbler. Added a few new acquisitions to the cartridge collection display.

    Sized and gc'd 550 or so Lee C358-200-RF that I cast about a month ago. Then loaded 50 of 'em up in .38 spl. cases to shoot thru a 16" rifled adapter in a $99 single barrel shotgun - something only a gun bug could love.

    LOVE IT!

    I've been eyeing picking up an H&R in 12 just to be able to get some adapters for it.
    What kind of accuracy have you found with these adapters?

    Started hunting the floor, found the loading bench. Now to get control of things so I can use my main bench. Set up my swaging presses and then started organizing things to get back to using my main bench to form several new cases I have built barrels for. Warm weather is coming and I am not ready to hit the range.

    I was running low on .380 ammo, so ran about 250 over the weekend, that ought to last me at least a few days (LOL). Now I am going to set up the turret press up for some 223 with lead boolits, probably do about 500 of them over the next few days/weeks, taking my time and doing them right. This hobby is so much fun!
