Here's a switcheroo...
haven't seen my sister in 30 years, she's here for two weeks. Where do we hang out? Yep, the loading room.
Yesterday she made a 100 .38 spl wadcutters on the Green Machine, she shot them...then she de-capped and put them in the walnut.
She's one of those types that want's to know what everything does and how to do it. Used to drive me crazy as a kid.

I suppose we'll do it over again before she leaves...'little sisters', ain't they a kick in the pants!

I always told her " Kid sisters are like a slinky - not really good for anything, but fun to push down the stairs..."

[RED333]

Disassembled, cleaned and reassembled my Lyman case trimmer. Still working on 308 case to 45 Colt jacket, getting closer. Can not afford the store bought dies so using what I have on hand. Did get out of the reload room to shot some BP, dadburn it was hot, did clean them in the room.

[Drifty4]

Loaded .44 Mag cases with cast 245 grain Boolits over 18.5 grain of 2400. Comfortable shooting loads.

RED333 if you are experimenting with 308 to 45 Colt jacket
Would not a 45 ACP be easier?

or use 40 S&W for short bullets or 10mm for long bullets

308 case is .470, 45 ACP is .480(both at the rim), give or take a little bit on each case.
Getting them down to .452 is tuff, every little bit helps.
I have a butt load of 308, a very few 45 ACP. I do have most of the bugs worked out.
Now working on steps per case, and getting the weight to come out close to 300 to 325 grans.
Got my eye on a new RBH in 45 Colt to hot rod.
I really do not have a way to swell a 40 case to .45, I do use 40 case for 44 mag.

Right now I'm drilling and tapping a stuck piece of 308 brass so I can pull it out of the die.

Saw a new "trick" where you lay your brass out on a towel, spray the lube, then roll them to coat 'em. Guess I didn't get the towel saturated enough. Good times.

Have not had luck with that process, I do split the case so I can roll it out, done a few 7mm mags.

Nobody teaches us better than ole Murphy about lubing the brass...huh? Been there, 'done that one'! . . .

My "little brother" is 51 and still my little brother. Same slinky rule applies to little brothers too...
