    I've been PCing boolits all week.

    I noticed that I had several piles of boolits on my loading bench. I needed to PC some 357s, but then I started PCing the rest of the boolits.

    I've made it through several hundred 350 grain 45s, many hundreds of 40 cal and some random 44s that were lying about...

    I've got about 300 40 cal left and maybe 2-300 125 grain 357s left...

    Than powder coated some gifted bullets I received today to test.

    Lyman 358430 HP and some Saeco 353.

    Beautiful bullets!! I really think Im gonna want this 358430 mold. Only problem is I also want it as a HP!!

    Most of my spare time over last week was spent sorting through a 20mm ammo can of brass that a buddy brought by and several boxes that probably would fill another 20mm can. Once sorted by caliber I'll deprime and tumble all of it. You may see some of it for sale in the swapping and selling thread!

    Finished the forming and gave them a wet bath for couple
    Hours. They spent all Sat night drying.

    I loaded a big ladder with a re sized Rem Corlokt 150g bullet in the 350 legend.

    I loaded 50 rounds for my hayfield rifle. 25-06-117gr. 257 Sierra Game King @ 3000 fps w/RE22 powder. Those will last a LONG time because I mostly play with cast anymore......

    I cleaned, sized, prepped and primed 200 .223Rem cases.

    I also chamfered case mouths on 600 new 357Sig brass and primed 200 of them.

    Got a new Lee shotshell loader!
    Mounted it and cranked out 50 rounds of #4 birdshot.

    Why did I not do this earlier?!?

    My 5 year old daughter helped me reload some 30-30 cat sneeze loads. She resized the brass yesterday and today she seated all the boolits for me. She asked if we could go downstairs and work (with the press). good times.

    Lube sizing about 500 8MM Nambu bullets. Planning to PC a batch of Lyman 100 gr .32 pills for the 7.62X25 Tok later tonight. Finally found a recipe that shoots well out of the CZ 52. It likes them hot.

    Picked up a countertop convection oven for curing either PC or Hi Tek coated boolits.

    I picked up and used my steel calipers to measure the diameter of my alloy as cast Lyman #311-041 for Marlin 336C 30-30 boolits in order to properly respond to a poster's OP.
    If it was easy, anybody could do it.

    Last night I re-assembled a rifle after having the recoil lug pinned, and primed more pistol brass.

    Ha! I loaded 350L SUPERsonics today for the match this weekend. I have no imperical data, but I *feel* that I like AA 11FS better. Probably the marketing...

    Spent the last couple days disassembling my pistol die sets from the Dillion press. Cleaning them all and resetting them. All my rifle ammo I do on a Redding T-7, so the dies are usually in and out and wiped off every time I use them. Reset the pistol die's, and decided to try a new load for my .40 M/P. Using a 175gr. Lee TC bullet, and usually 231 powder. Had some Bullseye sitting around, tried just over minimum charge as stated and went out back and ran a few threw, slapped the steel gongs with enough power I'm happy.
