Loaded 50 each 32 WSL and 35 WSL as well as a new bullet for 6mm Lee Navy. Looking forward to trying out these loads this weekend!

Stared longingly once again at a really nice Burnside Carbine recently bestowed upon me by a very dear friend...... And thought, someday, when my 'list' is done around the house, I'll shoot you my friend... (for clarification, 'my friend' being the carbine, not my dear friend from whom I got it.)

Thanks for the clarification, you had me worried there for a minute

I actually started cleaning up my bench. Not sure why I let it go for so long because a messy bench can invite serious problems. But I will have to keep at it for a few more hours to get it ship shape.
Rounded out my WSL loading with another 50 - 35 WSL and 100 - 351 WSL. Now to get the '05's, '07, and '10's cleaned up for duty!
I will admit that I don't have proper 35 WSL dies, so make do with a Lee Loader in 357 Magnum that is purpose dialed for the purpose. It saves me from changing settings on my RCBS 38 Special dies.

I ran small batches of 124 9mm, 200 .45 and .44 ball. Hi-Tech coated the .44 ball.
I gutted my last 5 Rio 12 gauge #12 shot shells and used the shot to load .41 mag shotloads. I still had primed/ charged/ wadded brass when the #12 ran out- so I gutted a few Monarch .410 #9s to finish up. On those, I wrote the number 9 on the brass with permanent sharpie.
Now I just need to be in a pit with a bunch of snakes, yeehaw!
My Speer bullets in .311 150 grain came in. I loaded a 100 of the between the Mosin and the Argentine mauser today. Range trip in the next day or 2.
One round at a time.

Made some ugly blue bullets.
Ladle cast from a 2/3 full steel saucepan of improvised lyman 2 over the turkey fryer, old mold still works!
I sized them 311 using my lee hand press.
