Gave hurricane casting another go between bouts of rain, half a jar of 38 spec wadcutter ready for loading. I had planned on using hitek but didn't notice all my solvent had evaporated! Guess I'll grab some new bottles when I can and use bll for now

Thanks Yall!
Tumbled and sized a hundred and fifty or so 45/70 brass. Now I'm trying out my new to me lyman universal trimmer. I really like it compared to the Hornady I have.
I do like my Lee trimmers too but I think the Lyman will work out quicker.
Then I can tumble the lube off of them tonight and start the rest of the brass prep before loading.
Love me some 45/70
Decapped and resized 1,600 of the 2,100 pieces of 30 Carbine I recently got off of here.
Man, that roller ergonomic handled for the LNL AP is the cat's meow! Only took me a little over and hour to do those 1,600.
Cast 500 9mm Magma 124 bb and 550 225-61 Elvis .223. Loaded 800 9mm. Hi-Tek coated 800 already cast 9mm and 600 already cast .223. Not a bad day.
Not a dadburn thing, worked late.

Pulled down some 30-06 I've had loaded up for match use for the components (I don't shoot the caliber anymore so I plan to reuse the projos, powder, primers will be reused in my AR10 in 7.62x51) and then deprimed fifty 7.62x51 cases from Sunday's trip to the range.
Tonight, I cut down a cheap Century Arms 50 caliber inline muzzle loader for the barrel to be sleeved into a 12gauge shotgun barrel sometime this winter after which I will then recut the barrel's chamber for 50-70 Govt. to make a black powder cartridge stalking rifle.

Not in the loading room, but yesterday I sorted a 5 gallon bucket of stick-on weights. Found 1 valve stem and 13 1/4oz non lead weights. About to go sort another bucket. Also put about a quart of range brass in some soapy water to soak.
Note, there weights were purchased from another caster, not at a tire store. The yield is holding up pretty good around here still, but not that good! All in all, really happy so far.
I went in and opened the ammo cabinet, and looked for something that needed to be reloaded. Plenty of brass, plenty of processed/primed brass, but also plenty of reloads waiting to be fired! Actually running out of room for reloads (been on crutches and can't drive for 2 1/2 months and ammo backing up)...
Woe is me...
My Anchor is holding fast!

I opened my components cabinet and saw that I overloaded a shelf. One side is broken. A piece of 2x4 and some screws should fix it, but that will have to come later.
I looked around and re-acclimated myself, as I haven't been in there in a while. The last thing I remember doing was prepping some brass that I fired a few weeks ago. I did find the boolits that I had cast and had run through the lubrisizer. I had just enough to load what few cases I had. Twenty were .38 Special cases I loaded with Bullseye and the Lee 158 gr. RF that I bought a few months ago. They loaded perfectly. Then I had ten .357 that I loaded with the same boolit and a tad stouter load of Bullseye. I hope I get to go to the range again before I have to go back to Newnan..... I like my Model 19-4 Smith.

Did I ever mention that I hate to trim brass?
Sized some 32 and 38WCF boolits after I sized some 38-55 boolits for a friend. Was going to load a few tonight but a day like today called for a cocktail so the loading room is OFF LIMITS.

Sorted another bucket of weights today. The yield is still holding up good.
