    I loaded 250 rounds of .32 S&W Long on my Lee classic turret (no proper shell plate for the 550) then switched to the 550 for 200 rounds of .38 Special.

    Switching machines sure makes the superiority of the Dillon obvious.

    Cast, sized, and lubed about 12 pounds of 230 grain boolits for my experiments with light 45 auto rim in my Mk VI Commercial Webley. I was using an RCBS 230 grain Cowboy mold that I got from Midway on sale. RCBS makes great molds, if they made 4 cavity molds, I'd probably own nothing else.

    Smelted a gallon of stick-on WW's (outside, of course). The smell was strong 200 yards away, I was told.

    What did you do in the reloading room today?

    Cleaned it up. Last time I was in was over a month ago when I was emptying all the tools out of my work van. Got everything somewhat organized as far as the tools go. Had a bunch of random bags of brass on the bench.

    One of them was some 300 Savage brass I converted. It was before I had a Dillon SuperSwage and small base sizing die. Saw one of the primers backed out of the pocket. So I deprimed one hundred pieces and scraped the brass. Not worth any potential issues and I have 100 pieces done that I know are done properly.

    Ran a few .38 bullets through a used RCBS Lube matic 2 I just picked up, using the unknown lube that came in the sizer.

    Tested using small rifle primers in the 10mm M1911 for heavy loads (216 gr, 747 ft-lbs) instead of pistol primers. The primer indentation was a bit less, but they fired reliably and there was less flattening of the primers.

    Took delivery of my Lee hardness tester today. Test fired about 20 rounds of cast through the chrono working up the powder load on 9mm 124gr TC. Loaded 30 rounds of 124gr truncated cone 9mm at 4.8gr of Ramshot Sillouette for a COAL accuracy test. Tumble lubed another 150 124gr TC bullets with 45/45/10 lube.

    Trying to get Boolit stock built up. Just finished off casting another 200+ Lee TL356-124 TC for the 9mm, 200+ Lee TL401-175 for the .40s&w, 200+ Lee TL430-240 for the .44mag/spl. Now take a break and get ready to Powder Coat them. Hope to hit the Range tomorrow to try my loaded PC Boolits and see how they perform. And hopefully get some Range Lead too.

    Nothing, but I did special order a Lee case length gauge for the 6.5x57 so I can trim all my cases before reloading them..
