    Well Saturday I pressed primers into 12 444m cases charged them with rl7 and then went looking for my lee c430- 310rf but realized I had none lube sized and it was late afternoon. So I dumped the powder back out and put cases away for the night. Sunday I lubsized a small pile of boolits 431 with gas checks and finished my loading. Starting at 40gr going two 43 in a ladder. Test sometime still haven’t tested the 308s I made back a few months

    finally counted, sorted, marked via stamp, and then stacked all of my various leads and alloys.

    Now I know what I have on hand, and it's in easy to grab/use spaces on some custom junky shelves I made. I also melted down all of the odd pig and muffin ingots I have and now have them all in either pound or half pound ingots.. much easier to use. The 2# muffin ingots stack nice.. but kill pot temperature in a 10# pot.

    I opened up my Star 225 sizing die the other day to 226. So this morning was spent putting a second powder coat on the already sized boolits to resize them to 226. Then powder coated and gas checked and sized another 200 boolits. Only a few thousand more to do...

    I loaded a pile of 223. 50 with 2400 and the rest with IMR4895. I want to compare these loads to the ones i shot when i put the new scope on. They were loaded with red dot and varget. After i was done loading. I vacuumed the man cave. I seam to get tumbling media on the carpet. No matter how careful i am.
    One round at a time.

    Vacuumed the reloading room. Sorted through all my buckets, bags, and bins of brass. Found several pieces of some obscure brass I. The bins: 30 American Army, 32 Win Special, 440-40, 32-20, and much more. I keep finding all kinds of treasures in the bins of reloading components I inherited from a dear friend.

    I powder coated the last of my Lee 105 SWCs, finally caught up on powder coating. I did a ton of Lee 125 LRNs, the .452 200gr LRNs and these 105 SWCs a long time ago and never got around to powder coating them after I ran out of HF Red. I went up to Eastwood which isn't far off and got some dark blue from them. It seems pretty good, guess we'll know when we shoot it. I do need to resize now, but I need to get a press set up and fixed for that first.

    I noticed that I needed to replenish my supply of 30-30 cast loads. So I combined some C309170F @.309", LLA, 25grs of 3031 with CCI primers - a classic recipe that my rifle and I like- a lot.
