Thanks Yall!
Measured the throat length in the 7x57 Roller today and then loaded 42 test rounds to try out on Friday. Yikes! To just "kiss" the rifling with a big, long 175 grain Winchester semi-spitzer bullet they ended up at a COAL of 3.321"! There is probably less than a quarter of the case neck length holding onto the bullet base. It'll be interesting to see how these shoot ... and then I'll have to go looking for a really, REALLY long, round nosed 7mm cast boolit mould to try and match the really long throat in this rifle. Anyone have any suggestions on a mould that might be suitable?
I may have passed my "Best Before" date, but I haven't reached my "Expiry" date!
Tried out my new Lee R.E.A.L. muzzle loader Bullet molds. I think I'm gonna like these. I got both the 250 gr and the 320 gr.
I also think I might have an addiction as well. Lol.

Put the GC on 400 .22 bullets, sized and lubed. My fingers are bigger than they used to be. Lessons in tedium? Pigs are having a protest.

Ran off 575 rounds of .357 Mag...PC'd 162 gr. Arsenal RNFP over 6.5 gr. Unique...on my Dillon SDB. Would've run off more but ran out of clean empties.

Took some 45/70 pull down brass out of the tumbler. Realized I had to scrub out the cases.
Whoever was loading there things (not me I bought them as pull down ammo) had some heavy bullets and some serious compressed loads.
After a couple hours tumbling I still had to scrape the powder off the walls.

Found the live primer I lost 2 weeks ago.
I was lubing/checking some Lee 430-310 boolits with NRA lube, one of them slippery devils got away from me. It hit the ground and disappeared, just like the primer. I looked, didn't see it. Figgered '...this thing is far too large to lose on the floor...'
Got the flashlight, went under the bench..... found it, wedged in betwixt the leg and the shelving adjacent to it. Had to get needle-nose pliers to reach it.
Pulled the boolit out, and there under it was the prodigal primer.
Now I have a single SPP to keep up with. So far, it's just sitting on the bench....
