    Showed a friend how to cast boolits a couple of weeks ago so today I showed him the basics of reloading them today for my 357 mag win 94 which he's got a passion for .said he can shoot them on Sunday at the range I think the hundred he loaded might suffice.

    Rainy day today... I loaded up 60 rounds of 235 gr RN for my .45 ACP then started melting a couple of 5 gal buckets of range lead. Only got 70 pounds cleaned and cast into ingots. Will work on it again tomorrow.

    Sorted more brass and then annealed a big batch of .25-06's ... still more to do tomorrow ...
    I may have passed my "Best Before" date, but I haven't reached my "Expiry" date!

    I had fun cutting 1.25mm pitch threads on my imperial lathe at 300 rpm for a .223 Rem CZ527 rebarrel. Seems to work fine; ±0.5moa with 70 VLDs and 69 SMKs.

    Beautiful. Just loaded some of the same bullet coated with black gold hi-tek using an old Lyman 310.
    They sure look nice. Shot a couple tonight and that flat nose cuts like a wadcutter in a paper target too.

    Threw some assorted pistol brass in the tumbler. Got those out, sorted and stored. Now I have a batch of rifle and handgun brass getting clean. With the slow Spring activities I may take out various calibers of rifle brass to clean up from the shelf as they are past due to get freshened up.

    Finished annealing all of my .25-06 brass and then switched over to 358 Winchester brass. As the John Lennon song goes ... "I'm just watching the wheels go round and round ..."

    I may have passed my "Best Before" date, but I haven't reached my "Expiry" date!

    Cast some lee 30 cal boolits nd some more Lee TC for my 9mm. The Lee 30 is an old single cavity. The box says it's a 160 gr, but I weighed most of them nd they were in the 150-153 gr area. I suspect with a GC and lube it will be bit heavier...

    You got it. Anything gun or archery related. Thanks for the idea of shopping GB. For some reason this never dawned on me.

    Yesterday I resized about 700 223 cases and swaged the primer pockets. Today I'll degrease them and trim them. Got a Prairie Dog shoot coming up soon and have to get ready!
