    I put some gas checks on my remaining RD boolits I cast the other day and "dipped" them per the old RD instructions. I managed to find some mineral spirits so I found my last bottle of LLA and filled the remaining space w/the mineral spirits, shook the daylights out of it and still had to take a screwdriver to mix it up well enough to use. I now have about 30 "dipped" boolits with a light brown sheen, and the noses are clean,except for one that I tipped over.... I wonder how long it will take for them to dry in the Alabama heat.......

    I'll probably give them a coat of JPW in a day or so. It dries hard......and no leading.

    Cast another 1500 Lee 401-175 TC for a total of 3,000 this week. Think I might bust out a few more tonight then start coating tomorrow. Tweaked the range after a match today for brass. Sitting on 10 gal of 9mm and 4 of .40 and 5 gal of .223 now. I have...issues.

    Still casting .40's. Swung past the range and scored a 5 gal pail of range scrap. Free lead is the best lead.

    Sorted and stored away a small batch of wheel weights that I scored. Decapped, sorted and started polishing some odd brass for a pending trade. Doing a little cleaning, which is an ongoing process!

    Sameo sameo....Sized and lubed some 9mm boolits and put some JPW on the Ranch Dog boolits that I dipped into LLA two days ago. Now I have a good supply of .357 boolits for my pistols, and am casting, when the notion hits me, so I can fireform for my 30/30 A.I. when I get it back.

    loaded 40 rounds of 300BO with CFE Black and 147gr FMj's (seconds from everglades), during the test rounds 4 out of the 6 rounds made a nice big hole in the center of the paper. Probably buy some more of those!
