My adult son and I loaded up some cast loads for his 500 S&W. We also drooled over his new Enfield no 4 mk1 with bayonet and sheath attached.
We even made some black powder loads for the 500 just for grins.
A great day to be alive.

Sorted some 38 special brass. Loaded 200 rounds of 9mm with 100 grain boolits and Titewad powder.
Pulled a box of 40s&w for the components. 6 more to go.
Shot off my first ever set of hand loads. They shot fine but often not powered enough to cycle the next round. Working on it.
Sorted out about 500 rounds of '06 o/f brass ! Guess what's going to be for sale in s&s section shortly? Hahaha! Merry Christmas to all on Cast Boolits forum!
I firmly believe that you should only get treated by how you act, not by who or what you are!!
got any picture?Originally Posted by Ola
Yesterday and the day before I casted 40 lbs of 140 gr bullets . Today I'll cast some more.
More importantly: I got so fed up with the Lee 6-banger sprue plate dripping lead all over.. The mold was still hot when I took my dremel and grinded a ditch between the holes.. WHY I DID NOT DO THIS YEARS AGO????
From now on I'll convert all my molds like this. But not in anger with a dremel
Finally had a "doh!" Moment after spending hours trying to setup my MP 358 495 and cranked out a few hundred wadcutters:
Actually, the "reloading room" was our breakfast room. I finished cleaning the primer pockets of 250 .223 cartridges. Nice and shiny. I'm using the Lyman pocket primer cleaning tool in a small battery powered drill. Works like a charm and saves a lot of wear and tear on the wrist.
Cast and powder coated about 4 pounds of these NOE 225 37 grain boolits
Go now and pour yourself a hot one...
Congratulations
swapped out the nylon square on my lee turret press after cursing for an hour looking for it.
Been there (still am a little).
Have some fun and enjoy your "me" time. You've earned it!

10 Ring on Jones road keeps the little nylon square in stock. I keep a few extra not knowing when they wear to a point where the need replacement.
Thanks for the tip!! I went ahead and ordered 4 from lee before I started searching...I figured at .50c each I'd keep a few extra too. I'll head over to 10ring and take a look again I liked the store last time I was in.
Not much....just ran 50# of #9 shot.
Now that you have them, you won't need one. I've managed to wear one out. I will say it was wear and not abuseHaven't needed one since.
The first one I replaced died from an excess of lubrication. If you get oil on the little square it will soften and wear out almost immediately( ask me how I know). All you need to do is wipe the indexing rod clean periodically and things will be fine.Now that you have them, you won't need one. I've managed to wear one out. I will say it was wear and not abuse
The last one I installed has lasted over 10,000 rounds and is still going strong.
dumped some freshly fired 9x19 and 9x18 brass in the tumbler and cleaned 3 pistols.
Loaded up 50 rds for "Fran" with the new lee 358-200.

Reloading room? I have a reloading room? Scored some primers on sale today, think I'll find it and stash them in there. Looking forward to some casting/loading sessions after hunting season ends and before lawn work season begins, should have a week or two, lol.
