Resized 200 fresh 5.56 cases and primed 100 pieces of 38 special. Nothing too intense.
I may be 24, but believe me, I'm past my prime.
Just a farm boy from the greatest state in the union with a very expensive hobby.

Put together some 10mm for the match this weekend... They're slightly decreased velocity rounds than my normal 10mm. I'm trying to keep them subsonic - but just barely.

Put back together my estate sale Lyman 45 and got it running.
cleaned up the bench and shelves,ive loaded for 12gauge,7mm,300 win mag,223 and 308 with a few 44 and 45 colt thrown in since ive cleaned up and it was a wreck
Loaded up some .45ACP ammo using 225gr 452374s that were originally cast maybe fifty or more years ago by my father. I know that because when he gave me his lead pot ten years ago he also gave me several hundred 150gr .38 spl bullets with a note indicating that I had been the one to cast them back in 1976. And those were the last bullets cast with that pot until I started it back up ten years ago.
I only had 35 left after figuring out a good recipe last weekend. These are all from the reloading stuff my dad gave my older brother several years ago. He finally decided he's never going to get around to reloading, so asked me if I wanted it. I asked him if I loaded some ammo for him if he'd trust my reloads. He said yes, so these will be going back to him eventually, along with some .30-30 spire point ammo for the single-shot he hunted with when we were kids, and some normal .30-30 ammo for dad's 1955 Winchester 94.
I took the Burris 6x from the Mauser 30-30 and moved it to the AR15 .223, then took the 10x Weaver from the Tikka 22-250 and put it in the fridge, mounted a special sale 3x9 Weaver Kaspa on the 22-250, took the Weaver K4 from the fridge and mounted it on the Mauser 30-30. And sighted them all in with 5 shots or less. Good day last Thursday.

I Have some 340 gr WW flat nosed boolits. Started to dill out the nose on my small lath to make some hollow points and bring them down to around 280 - 300 grn. Was having an issue with getting the hole dead center. Changed bits and went a couple sizes smaller and seems to work better.

I cast and kept 49 wad-cutter boolits on Saturday morning, December 12, 2020. Had the old Lee double cavity mold for 35 years or so. First time trying it. Using wheel weight ingots I had poured previous weekend. Dropping them onto cloth, not quenching. After a short run, noticed quite a few wrinkled, but had my alloy hot enough (@3 1/2 pounds ) but probably took a spell to burn out old lubricant from mold. Added less than an ounce of tin to the alloy (@8" length of lead free solder, and then had much better results. Perfect actually, .358", weight 150 gr + or - .2 grains. Mostly making sure I have a reliable mold for 38 Special bullets if the supply of components gets even worse.

Britons shall never be slaves.
Deprimed and swaged some crimped 9x19 on my Lee APP. They reprimed easily on my Dillon and I've no doubt that they'll go bang when the need arises, but while it's good to know I have the option, uncrimped 9mm brass is so easy to find I think I'll just avoid the crimped stuff and save the primer pocket swaging for the stash of military 5.56 brass I have.
prepped some 45-70 brass .
Made percussion primer caps from Al cans, then made up about 80 primers for my cap and ball revolvers
Cleaned the .314-90-SWC and .356-125-2R Lee molds, then plugged in the 20# Lee pot. Cast a few pounds of boolits from 14BHN ingots of range scrap. Today was my first go at casting; and I saw fewer wrinkles after setting the pot hotter, and after the molds warmed up.
