I already have cast and loaded up ready to go for warmer weather. Weather man was predicting 40's next week. Today isn't bad either.

[beanflip]

Steve in kc should we bring our presses ???

[steve in kc]

Steve in kc hould we bring our presses ???

Man I wish. I used to do competitive bbq competitions and have placed as well as 13th in pork at the American Royal (what can I say, I'm a KC boy and it's in my 'back yard'!) If I had land, hell yeah! I'd fire up the pit and have a load 'em up, eat 'em up, shoot 'em up gathering.

No land though so hence...no party :(

I'm sure there's got to be somebody somewhere around the KC area that has land that would welcome a crew from this board over for a cook out and 'match' of some kind!

[Taylor]

How can you cast laying on the beach?

[jnovotny]

:cbpour:It would be hard to keep the sand out of your melt.

[casterofboolits]

Supposed to be 45 degrees here on Sunday. Whoopie!

[*Paladin*]

Supposed to be 44* here on Friday. I think I'm gonna get the Harley out of hibernation!

[frankenfab]

Supposed to be 50-60 here. I have 6 more buckets of wheelweights to smelt. Hope it pans out. We got 8" of snow today.[smilie=w:

[mold maker]

At 40* last Tuesday I annealed about 3 gal of .40 brass.
At 45* Friday I citric acid washed and polished the brass.
At 50* Yesterday I cast a huge pile of Boolits (cores).
At 38* and windy today I looked out the window, and rubbed my sore hands and wrists.
It's supposed to SNOW again tonight.
WM is calling for 65* on Monday, and I will be swaging outside in the sunshine, with shorts and a t shirt. If it would only last.

[sargenv]

There's a pier in that picture? ;)

It's been nice here even in Northern Cali.. 50's-60's..

[Floydster]

22 degrees below zero here in Central Minn. this morn, going on the treadmill for a bit, then out in the shop to cast some 158 grainers.
Pose to warm up into the 40's next week and the range is open for the season, oh ya, Mama----------I love retirement:)

[steve in kc]

Mother-fluxer batman! My wife told me today that she and the boys are going on their annual winter pilgrammage to the indoor water park/hotel on Sunday at noon and will be home Monday late. We're down to 1 car at the moment and two round trips for me to go with them with gas at $3/gal isn't good fiscal responsibility.

Oh darn! I'll just have to fire up the pot and cast cast cast cast cast!! Woooohooooo!!!!

I'll have a mountain of the following when i'm done:

452-228-1R
452-200-RNFP
457-405-RNFP
And
309-150-F

[Snyd]

Supposed to be 25-30 below tonight and 45 below tomorrow night here in Fairbanks.

[BorderBrewer]

High of 73 degrees low of 40. Guess there is some good to be said of California.

[steve in kc]

Supposed to be 25-30 below tonight and 45 below tomorrow night here in Fairbanks.

You win. From here forth no one is allowed to gripe about being too cold to cast or shoot.

[bumpo628]

Supposed to be 25-30 below tonight and 45 below tomorrow night here in Fairbanks.

That's not even a real temperature. You're just making things up...:shock:

Nice pic, 4½ bikini girls is about my limit...

(They should be mining that berm for lead nuggets.)

I would finish my stand and do some casting but work gets in the way of a good time,
fixing to head out. The good news is my feet won't be freezing today.

[HamGunner]

I have been so bored during the long cold spell that I have loaded all the bullets that I had cast up. Crazy Missouri weather was below zero just a few days back. Now it's nice and warm the last few days at around 60 at least. I am out of bullets and need to cast, but took out the 4-wheeler instead. Needed to get away from the house for a while. But, the next time the temperature is favorable and I can schedule it in, there will be a whole day devoted to making a big enough pile of boolits to do me for a while. Almost out of brass too. Darn, guess I will have to empty a few, weather permitting.

[bigjake]

I'm going to go to the local "pull-a-part" and start my typical search for large WW's
Its a lot of work but I love it. By the time I'm whipped from going up and down prying the 1.5" ones and longer Ive got two large winter jacket pockets bulging.
I go into where you pay for your parts and pull out a few and say "do you want me to unload them? they say " oh no, please dont" and charge me 1 to 3 bucks and i'm on my way with all big WW's and 0 zinc. It works out to about 15 cents a pound, give or take.

[Freightman]

Last week we were -8 and a high of 10 this week 45 and a high near 80 I love the Panhandle if you are bored with the weather wait 15 minutes it will change. I have seen it in the teens and 30 min later it was 60, never get bored.

I managed to scrounge 23 lbs. and ended up paying about 19 or 20 cents a pound.

It is fun at these places. the cars are all lined up and blocked up on these jack stands made of rims, one lays flat and the other is welded [tacked] upright.
these have loads of WW's as well as the car/truck they're supporting.
I just keep looking and poping them off. when I a bit fatigued, I simply slide open a mini van's side door and rest my bones [my fat bones] :smile:

[SkookumJeff]

I used to spend time in the junk yard around here when I was a kid. Good memories. I found some of the largest spiders known to live in this area.

I doubt it's even legal anymore to get back into the junk yards in this nanny state....the Feminist Utopia of Washington (FUWA)...apologies to any boolit casting babes who may be offended...

[bigjake]

Its was just too nice to not go to the pull apart junk yard again.

I found a few 6 oz WW's, they must have been 7" long.
also found a few huge truck WW's, not really long but thick, and have bigger clips

I came out of there with 21 lbs-11 oz. after smelting. cost; 3 dollars, 1 buck to roam the yard and 2 bucks for the future boolits.
