JB Welded some loose mold handles. I thought about pinning them but thought I'd try the lazy man's approach.
We shall see if they can stand the heat in the kitchen...

I have had great luck with JB. BUT, I also grind the steel so the JB has more surface area to really grab. I have had some going 5 years plus.

Reloaded 100 .45acp with 230grHornady XTP over 7.5gr AlliantBE-86
Looked at the press, yep it's there
Looked at the brass, yep plenty of that
Looked at the powder, oh yeah lots of that
Looked at the boolits, gottem
Checked the clock, plenty of time
Now what am I missing?
Did a bit of Mold maintenance.
Checked a bunch of molds to see if Ballistol was still doing it's job.
Set up My L-N-L for .44Mag.
I HATE auto-correct
Happiness is a Warm GUN & more ammo to shoot in it.
My Experience and My Opinion, are just that, Mine.
SASS #375 Life
Powder coated about 350 40 cal boolits intended for 40 S&W. While they were cooking I GC'd (with my homemade gas checks) and resized about 150 40 cal boolits intended for 10mm...

Built a workbench yesterday for bullet casting work. Had this old rolling steel frame from a color separation machine that's been out in my shop for years. Bought a sheet of 3/4" plywood, cut it to fit, put some bracing in underneath and it's ready to go. Thought I'd use it this weekend, but the weather report is crapping out so maybe I'll just work on the internal shelving. When I'm not casting my lead pot and equipment will be stored underneath and I'll be able to use the work top for other work.
Chance favors the prepared mind.
Yesterday I loaded some .308” 125 gr Nosler Ballistic Tips that I found in the bullet drawer in my ultra modern .30 cal cartridge - the .30 Short Flanged Needmoor- AKA 30-30 Winchester.......
They kind of look like .17 HMRs on steroids.
Started loading ladder loads for my son's 270 with RL19. Looking forward to shooting them tomorrow.

Too cold to do any reloading, but melted down some loose wheel weights into ingots. After skimming off the clips got about 5 1/2 pounds. Fluxed with clean sawdust.
