    Prepped 20 7mm Mag cases for loading. Let me tell you, I really like that Lee collet sizer. Unfortunately, I'll be using j-bullets in this.

    Loaded 22 pieces of 6.5 CM brass converted from 243 braas. Going to take it out Thursday when we have better weather to fire form it. Next I need to cast about 500 Lee 120 grain TC boolits. Hopefully Thursday too.

    I deprimed and reamed the pockets on 477 223 cases, then got about 1/2 of them wet pin tumbled and dried while I got the Annealeez all set up and annealed a crap load of 22 ppc.

    I Dremelled something!

    Me, diamond coated burrs rotating at high speed, and metal gun parts do not get along, but fortunately, the only thing suffering my tender ministrations was a plastic Glock magazine loader. The .22 loader for my conversion broke, so I trimmed down an OEM loader's tongue for the .22 mags.

    It looks like the amateur hack job it is, but it will save my fingers. Actually, I'm suprised the Dremel didn't bite me. It's not like I haven't made blood sacrifices to the home workshop gods before...

    My ongoing attempt at straightening and cleaning. Mounted two powder measures up off the bench for more clearance and cleared the benchtop, at least one of them, will assault the other one tomorrow.

    600 223 loaded today with MP 227-75 boolits over 20 grains of 748. 15.5 will function my ARs but the AR pistol wants more speed with the short barrel.

    Busy day! Loaded the last of my processed 40 cal booits in 40 S&W - 150 of 'em. Powder coated 180 gas check 40 cal boolits (Accurate 40-180 GB) and then checked them with my home made checks - and it was a sucess!
    Then I resized / decapped about 500 350 Legend cases.

    The PC job I did was 1 tblspn of traffic blue and 1/2 tblspn gloss black. Dark blue - looks cool. Was thinking of doing red/black too.

    Organized my molds from two boxes into a larger one so they all fit.
    I also documented all my molds - it was interesting to see.

    Mostly just tinkering! Listening to 60 and 70's music and looking out at the cold, windy and dreary day. Oh, I'm sorting and prepping brass thats been tumbled and storing is away.

    Primed 125 45-70 new Starline cases, ready for new mold to arrive from Midway sometime in the future if the USPS can just pick it up and get it out of Mo.
