Sorted a couple quart cups of weights that a friend dropped off. Sorted and deprimed a couple cups of range brass from the same friend.
I re-glued my led light to the bottom of the top plate of my Lee Breech Lock Pro. The led is curved but not quite the same shape as the press, so some additional adhesive was needed.
I reloaded about 150 38 spl and added to my stash so when it cools off at least below 80’ i can shoot for a while. Waiting for my new 6 gallon gas tank for my 4kw gen. Maybe then i can shoot with a large fan, without cooking or slapping these mosquiters
Started prepping some Winchester 45-70 new cases for loading with a new/used Ideal mold 457-125. Got them run through the sizing dies and then a good rinsing in hot water and then a spin in the Turbo tumbler for a few hours to dry them out totally and put a good shine on them. Got them setup in my new loading blocks with the top extension block to provide some extra vertical support. So nice to have a loading block that will take the base of the 45-70 case easily.
Just loaded up the last 52 or so pieces of 44 special with RCBS 44-250K
Contemplating whether or not to load some 45/70 before bed.
Or to load the rest of the 453423 into 45 Colt cases
Amen to that.
Last summer I broke out the Lyman 310 and loaded some 38 special. I think I prepped about 100 cases and finished up about 50 total while watching a few boxing matches. It was nice to spend all that time and still have bullets left. At 500+ rounds an hour with the Dillon I would have blasted through a ton bullets and had nothing to load after that.
Great idea. I'll leave the rest for another day. I'll load some 45s tomorrow.
That’s what I do every evening, load 50 to 100 38 spl. Mostly waiting on horses to finish evening feeding. I could do on the 650, but it’s so fast I’d be out of something in no time at all. Load all week for about 1 hr target shooting on Saturday. Slow and accurate.
Just got my range bag loaded for tomorrow. I gotta re-sight my 30/30 A.I. after I changed the rings on the rifle. Plus phart around with my CZ 75 SP01...... maybe shoot some steel if the range isn't crowded.

Did I ever mention that I hate to trim brass?
Fitting a never ground factory Remington pad for the 870. Miles to go but look at it wet- may end up pretty.

Glad you like it Hossfly. Parented???? Don't know, my boss does all the design and engineering. I'm the idea, marketing and handloader part of the business.
Cast and gas checked 500 75-227 NATO boolits. Star is heating up the lube as I type.
Loaded 80 38 Special with Lee 356-95RF over 3.2 grains of Red Dot, 20 rounds of 38 Special with Elco HP over the same 3.2 grains Red Dot, and finished up the 400 rounds of 223 with the 75-227 MP over 15.5 grains of 748.
