    I powder coated most of the boolits I made the other day... And primed some 40 S&W. I also found a really interesting way to get a primer stuck in the little primer seater...

    Poured a couple of weeks worth of 9mm and 357 Sig. I will have to get out there again in the next few days to cull 'n coat them.

    I would like to learn about this process. Do you have any links, books, etc. you could share?

    Thanks in advance

    Thank you for the link. Interesting process, I may look into this in the future.

    Your bullets BTW, are beautiful.

    My son liked the boolits that I made for him, and asked me what I wanted for them. Well, the six cavity mold in the same boolit but 125 grain would have been nice, but I just asked for the two cavity. I can still make them for both of us, and I like the t/c mold. I have enough of those cast that I can barely move the ammo box that I store them in. I probably won't be casting a lot from the new mold, but who knows?

    Reloaded the same 200 rounds of 223 that I shot at the range the other day. This brass has now been loaded 6 times, never annealed by me, super easy to size, primer pockets are still good. I think W748 is the ticket with these heavy boolits for case life. We will see how far they go. This AR now has 1200 rounds of cast through it only cleaning the chamber and the BCG.

    Cleaned off my bench a little and re-arranged my tackle boxes. I doubt it will do any good, but it seemed like the thing to do at the time....

    Wandered on in there and put fresh 4lb line on two UL rods, and still have enough for fly line leader should I need it. Then I started ( again ) on the left end of my bench and really did clean it up. I dunno how long it will stay that way.....

    Finished making a thousand 30 cal gas checks, cast 1000+ 200gr 45 SWC and will powder coat them in the next couple of days and cast a thou 314-202 bullets and will start using the gas checks that I made. A very busy day but fun none the less.

    Not so much in the reloading room, but I made a 12ga hull conditioner/trimmer in the garage out of a piece of dowel and a bolt with a snap off blade for the trimmer part.

    I spent the day yesterday finishing up those 2 20mm ammo cans of 9mm brass that I started on before our kitchen remodel put me out of business. Deprimed, tumbled and sorted the last of them. I'll put them away later today.

    Woo Hoo! I got finished with those pesky 9mm's! I'll do a little straightening up and start resizing some 223's after lunch.

    What did you do in the reloading room today?

    Reloaded exactly one .44mag cartridge. Busy day and only had a moment to get one in on the way to the car. Gotta do what you can when you can!
