    I loaded 50 rounds of 357 magnum BLACK POWDER ammunition . Why ? Because I can !! Okay, it is fun to shoot in my rifle, I figured out how to eliminate blowback into the action, it is accurate, it is as easy to load as smokeless, I have five pounds of Elephant 2F........

    Over the last 2 days I have cast up around 125lbs of 405gr 45-70 bullets. I wont powder coat until it gets warmer and way less humid. Next task will be 125lbs of 430gr 45-70 bullets.... I figure its winter so its time to cast quite a few hundred pounds of bullets, my BIL in Idaho wants 357 and 44 mag bullets to load so I will be doing them after the 45-70's

    That is a WHOLE lot of 45-70. I feel like I did a lot of work shooting about 50 or so in a sitting...

    My nephew has a Single Ten that had missing fiber optic in the front sight for whoever knows what reason.... I decided to substitute 16gauge copper wire in there, and tried the CB shorts out the back door of the reloading room.
    Let's not talk about that little guy above the "W"......

    It looks...substantial...

    I'm worried though: might flex too much and sag there in the middle over time...

    I spent the last 2-3 days beating my head against the wall trying to load some 380acp loads without the right equipment . I finely decided to just wait until all the craziness ends .

    Deprimed and sized 5lbs each of 38 and 357, they are wet tumbling now. I did these on my Lee app with my Dillon case feeder supplying the cases. Man am I impressed with that app press.

    Resized and trimmed 104 45-70 cases. I found 4 Hornady cases - have NO idea where those came from. But those hornady cases are about 1/16" short. So, I've seperated them out... I'll have to see where my boolit seats in those cases so I have the same volume/charge.

    Reloaded 200 rounds of 30-30 with 6.5 grains of Red Dot and an Accurate 312-157R and 10 rounds with an NOE 150 grain hollow point. All lubed with Carnuba Blue. Then moved to 50 270Win with the RCBS 270-150 lubed with Lyman Orange Magic. Between me, friend, and his kids, we are almost at 1000 of these 30-30 through the Marlin 336 and 3000 through the 270. They are a hoot!
