Who the heck has an air-conditioned reloading room with proper ventilation to cast in a heat wave ?
I HATE auto-correct
Happiness is a Warm GUN & more ammo to shoot in it.
My Experience and My Opinion, are just that, Mine.
SASS #375 Life
More 9mm and a few Ranch Dog 165 RF

Did I ever mention that I hate to trim brass?
LAH,
I can't hate you.
But it just ain't fair. It's 85degrees and humid and we're only 3 miles from the beach, can't wait for sundown.

A few weeks ago I fired up a new waage pot and ladle case these NOE. 45 HP bullets. The individual bullets are scraped up because they hit the ground. They went into the reject pile

Yesterday morning I coated those HP bullets and about 1,000 I made from an Arsenal .45 mold. I traded these bullets nd a few more for the lead ingots in another thread.

I had one of my OLD buddies come over today, to help replace the lift strap in the hoist for my scooter. Outside in the nice bright sunshine. Half hour job, drank 2 glasses of ice tea each & went out to air conditioned Diner. 90degresses at 1100hrs. Pretty hard on two old farts. Nothing like a Chocolate Malted to cool ya off.
He left with 500 ACCURATE .45's I cast on last monday. Lubed them last night on the patio while the sprinklers were on.

Cast 175 Lyman 266469's. Vintage mold, black and orange box with the metal corners. I am the first to use this new old stock mold. Single cavity takes awhile to cast up a pile.
These are for a 6.5x54 M/S.
I cast a bunch of Lee ingots of stick on WWs. Smelted them into ingots and got about 30lbs out of the deal. I am gonna cast 1oz. slugs and buckshot out of them. They are sooofffttt. No AC however. The sweat was rolling in the workshop.
You can miss fast & you can miss a lot, but only hits count.
50 flat nosed 150 gr with GC for .30-30.
Got them lubed, checked, sized, lubed and drying. Probably be loading tomorrow.
It was rainy outside when I got up this morning so I put the Magma under the porch beside a fan and broke out the H&G .38 SWC mold. 2 1/2 hrs later I had this 55 lb pile of bullets. Should be about 2,500.

It's a great .38 bullet. These are on their way to a friend in Mississippi. The post office lady doesn't like me right now but she did make sure the box was taped up well.
Michael those sure are some shiny, well filled-out bullets.
