    Universal, immutable laws of bullet casting and reloading

    I INVITE YOU TO ADD YOUR PERSONAL UNIVERSAL, IMMUTABLE LAW OF BULLET CASTING AND RELOAD:

    Here is mine. It is generally true in my life. If I misplace something in my casting/reloading area and cannot find it it will reappear within a week after buying a new one. Currently I can't find my Lyman cast bullet manual. All I have to do is order a new one and the old one will appear.

    What law have you discovered?

    I cast outside and set up a big umbrella even if there is not a cloud in the sky because rain will be on it's way.

    Never have the following thought about a tool or anything you prize..."I think I'll put this in a safe place so I won't loose it!"...I've had to reorder miscellaneous items because the previously owned item was put in a safe place. Never saw it again. One time I put the second (a bore sight) item I ordered in a safe place and found the original there.

    All of the .40 cal cases have been sorted out and the 9mm batch can now go into the tumbler without them getting stuck and making a mess later.

    When you find you are in deep trouble, look straight ahead,keep your mouth shut, and say nothing.

    those are hot, they might not look hot, but they are.

    knowing you have 2 of something does not guarantee you'll find either one of them.
    and you won't find the one you want until after you make the one you don't sorta work good enough to do the job.

    I can go for a week with 3 phone calls not work related, fire up the pot and it'll ring at least 3 times.
    hot molds cast better
    write down everything you need for a load or project, cause no matter how good or bad it is or was in a year you WILL NOT REMEMBER!
    own two of any critically important tool or book
    do not ever, never under any curicumstance reload or cast when your in a hurry, time is short or your over tired.
    my best magic special sure fire pet load is only better than yours in my pet rifle on my best day, and maybe not even then.

    All small items that are accidentally dropped will not just roll underneath the work bench, but will roll all the way to the wall behind it.

    Every time I put something up in a "safe spot" so it will not get lost, I can't find it when I need it. I will find it when looking for something else.

    There are farmers in Kansas that will bring you iced tea and lunch if you will cast in the middle of their fields.

    When you search high and low for a week for a tool you know you have, give up the search, go buy a new tool, use it, then put it away in right beside the old tool in a place you have looked at several times in your search for the old tool.

    I cuuently have an NOE 0.259 5 cavity mold that I am searching for while waiting for the new one to arrive. When it gets here I will probably find the lost mold. I pray that I don't put this one with the first one and end up ordering a third because I can't find the two I already have
    Go now and pour yourself a hot one...

    After cleaning up the shop, and throwing away odds and ends saved for those "just in case" situations, that have gathered dust for the last 5 years, I find I needed an odds and ends thingy.
