Loaded some .45 ACP 200grain SWC over 4.8 grains of Titegroup.
Loaded up 15 rounds of 35 Whelen ammo for my hunting rifles and prepped 50 pieces of new RP brass for my brother. Loaded the new brass with J-words today and put them back in the tumbler for a final polish. Nap time!

Some of my favorite recipes start out with a handful of depleted counterbalance devices.
no reloading but i cut up 70 lbs of lead pipe ready for the smelter
My son is sleeping and I'm waiting for the washer to finish it's cycle. So I decided to create a chart w/ this mornings findings. I'd like to see the weight variances a little tighter but at this heavy of a bullet I'm not to concerned.
There were a couple outliers that I didn't chart because it would have left to much dead space. Two bullets didn't make it for plain based and three for the gas checked. Just realized I never added the formulas to add up the quantity cast. 88 gas checked and 95 plain based keepers for an hours worth of work is just fine. I threw back at least one hundred throughout the session and culls at the end.

Broke out a new mould Lee C358-158-SWC, cast up enough for a good range session.
A Ruger Blackhawk , three screw ,357 magnum, bought in 1971 was stolen in 1995. Last month the police in Arizona recovered it and it was returned to me. It was my first center fire handgun and had been missing for 20 years...now it's back. Going shooting !
It's always nice when an old friend returns.
