Will you be casting bullets on Christmas Day?

[wv109323]

Let's see who the serious bullet casters are?

[fredj338]

Ha! Probably not, but I am off all week after so lots fo bullet casting time.

[x101airborne]

Absolutely I will. I have all my family stuff on Christmas Eve and my present to myself is to spend at least half the day in front of my pot.

[adrians]

if them pesky in-laws don't show,,,,,,,,, yes

[BossHoss]

Church, Shoot , cast, size, dinner, load.

[DragoonDrake]

No, I will be spending the day with the in laws. I hope to either Tuesday or Friday.

[30yrcaster]

No, I'll be mounting and setting up dies in my new Lee Turret press I'll be getting for Christmas. I'll also be loading the bullets I casted on Thanksgiving day.

[bigjason6]

I'll be thinking about casting boolits, does that count?

[Texantothecore]

No.....but I will be fly fishing for brown trout.


Eat your heart out....

[Sonnypie]

... spend at least half the day in front of my pot.

Ya know, if you don't drink enough to make yourself sick, you could spend the day casting.... :2 drunk buddies: :mrgreen:

Instead of in front of the pot. [smilie=1:

:kidding:

[imashooter2]

Nope. Christmas is family time.

[Dthunter]

never know!
I would love to!
Probably will on the 24th though!

[rak1]

No --Christmas will be spent with the grandkids.

[ku4hx]

I'm retire; wife is retired; life is good. Every day is Christmas day for us. If I wake up and feel like casting boolits at 3:00AM I do it. No such thing as clocks and calandars any more.

Yep. There is that, too.

But I have a bunch cast up already. So no rush to cast yet more.

[btroj]

Work 8 to 3. Go to parents for evening with baby bro and out families. Come home, sleep. Go to work on Monday at 8 am.

No casting for me.

I'm with you on that, retired 3 years ago, have no time clock, no calandar..

[carolina shooter]

just finished 15 pounds of 45-70 500 gr. pours.

HA.... HAHAAHAAHAA
Good one... Not quite the pot I meant..LOL!!!!!!!

[P.K.]

Prolly not, but if I get what I asked for the next day is up for grabs! ;-)

[lead-1]

Hopefully casting or reloading, one of the two.

[white eagle]

I hope to be hunting deer

[Ronbo256]

Probably not Christmas day, but I do need to cast up a bunch of .45 boolits to feed the 1911 so probably the day after or the day before.

[wvmedic]

Nope, working.

Would like to be Deer hunting though.

[2571]

If them pesky in-laws do show . . .. YES

[Loki610]

Unfortunately I wont be able to. I have to spend Xmas with the inlaws in Saskaberia, it will be torture cause my 4-20 pot I ordered should show up on Xmas eve!

[mpmarty]

Nope. I'll be busy installing our new 400# wood stove after removing our old 600# worn out wood stove. Tractors and engine hoists are GREAT!

[luis7]

Yes I´ll do.

[Beau Cassidy]

I would like to but it looks like i will be out of town.

[UtopiaTexasG19]

I come out of my casting cave one day a year so I pick Christmas to see how the family is doing and then go back inside. The pot will still be warm when I return! :)

[reloader28]

Not during the day as we will be gone.
But if its not too late when we get home I might very well be casting.

[bobthenailer]

NO ! I usually do my casting & lube sizing in the month of Febuary . I make enough to top off each of my bulk bullet storage containers , which is usually about 10,000 bullets per year . i probley have about 50,000+ bullets on hand at any one time.
I never cast any other time unless i would get a new bullet mould ! then im like a kid with a new toy.
Happy Holidays To All !

[7br]

No, but I will be reloading on Christmas Eve. Got divorced this summer and it will be the first time without being around the kids on Christmas eve for 17 years. I will have the kids on Christmas and will be spending the day with my side of the family. On the upside, the ammo I will reloading is .45 acp and 6.8 spc for the kids to blast away with on the 26th. Might take the shotguns along and throw some bluerock too. Nothing says Happy Holidays like the smell of burnt powder and a little bit of recoil :)

[lbaize3]

At my tender age, I don't make any decisions until I am at the breakfast table, drinking coffee.

That said, I probably will be casting on Christmas day. I need more 38 and 357 bullets for the latest stash of empty brass I have discovered.

[mdi]

Nope not me. I'll be celebrating Jesus' birthday with my wife and an early service/celebration with my church family. Merry CHRISTmas feller casters...

[ku4hx]

I'm with you on that, retired 3 years ago, have no time clock, no calandar..

After 47 years straight of school, military, work or some combination of the three, my last day at work was January 18, 2008. I drove the 41 miles home, made a pot of the world's best coffee and took off my watch. I've not worn a watch since. For a looooong time after that my wife would kid me about not knowing what day it was. Many times she thought I was faking it. She retired about a month ago.

My dear wife now has a hard time keeping up with what day it is. We know it's Wednesday because we can hear the garbage truck in the neighborhood. I don't chastise her about it; I just :mrgreen: .

I have been, and still are, many things. But one thing I've always been is a planner. I seriously began planned for retirement in 1977 and worked that plan. It took sacrifice and such but I'm here to tell you it was worth the effort. Life is good.

[Reload3006]

nope gonna be at the kids for Christmas now New years YUP better believe it.:drinks:

[geargnasher]

I'll be working on my place TO cast after the big family get-together. Everyone except me has to nap all afternoon, so I'll be free to go work on it.

Gear

[btroj]

Nope not me. I'll be celebrating Jesus' birthday with my wife and an early service/celebration with my church family. Merry CHRISTmas feller casters...

I would love to do likewise but the job is what the job is. My turn to work the holiday after 4 years off.

[W.R.Buchanan]

Yes I will, and I am going to work on my Jeep project also.

No kids, no inlaws, no probelms! Sounds like a good day to me!

Randy

[GT27]

As long as the idiot in grey/blue delivers my new mold-Lee 90346 (not raped, and unbroken),then yes I shall be casting some Christmas Boolits!!

[DLCTEX]

I plan to cast a few in the next day or two as Christmas day is spent with family and then friends are coming for deer hunting to wind up the year. We have lots of unfilled doe tags and plenty of does to fill them.

[timkelley]

Nope, I am down in Cathedral City, Peoples Republic of California, visiting my kids and grandkids. Even if I had a melter, I'd have to steal some lead. I'll wait until I get back to Idaho.

[josper]

I just finished my third 60lb. box of 45-70 boolits ,think I'll take the day off.

[Three44s]

No casting on Christmas here.

Maybe some un-loading the day after though!!!

My "gun friendly" Bro in law is over every Christmas ............. he really has a hankerin' for my Ruger .480!

I'll be checking his luggage right before he returns home!!!!!


Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!!

Three 44s

[prs]

NO! Family day for our crew. I cast when I am alone and undistracted.

prs

[garym1a2]

Breakfast, presents, church, lunch and than an afternoon at the range with my brothers.
I just loaded over 3k rounds in December, now is the time to empty some cases so i can load from my new 9mm mihic mold.

[Shuz]

No casting or shooting for me this Christmas. My wife and I are over in the Seattle area visiting our daughter and family. I will be back home next week and hope to ease my itchey trigger finger.
Merry Christmas to all!

[Shedhunter]

I will be getting the pot hot, I need to make some 357 boolits.

[koehlerrk]

Nope. The plans for the 25th are thus:

Wake up to the kids opening their stockings.
Wait for their grandparents to arrive.
Breakfast
Open presents under the tree.
Go to church
Come home and help the kids with their toys, hang out and generally enjoy the day with the wife and kids.

Now, might get some casting in on the 26th, and I'm going coyote hunting on the 27th.

[Lefty SRH]

I'll be setting up a new Lyman 4500, so yes I'll be casting if everything goes right.

[Inkman]

Quite possibly. It'll get me out of the family gossip circle for the evening when the eating is over and the gossiping begins.

"If ya need me i'll be outside making bullets" lol.

Al

[Dale53]

Let's see - I cast yesterday (Mihec #68 .452 200 gr swc) and I am sizing this morning. It could very well be casting time Christmas.

We are retired and the kids and grand kids live out of town (sniff:sad:, so they won't be here).

I could use some .358 dbl ended wadcutters - my six cavity iron H&G for the H&G #251 is calling to me...

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you ALL!

Dale53

[rsrocket1]

No, busy today and tomorrow with family, but I made up for it in advance.
Yesterday in about 1 hour. Second set of 45's in my 3rd casting session ever.
These 6 cavity Lee molds produce boolits fast!
After the warmup, the boolits literally drop out of the mold.

Note the festive place mat. My wife was about to throw them out, but the scrounger in me said "I can find a use for them"

[SHOOTER IN EXILE]

After Xmas dinner at my daughter's , I couldn't sleep. It was 8 am. So I mounted my casting equipment and cast about 300 45 ACP. Wonderful morning.

[Horace]

No.But day after will be the 311466 for the 99 Savage in 300 Savage.Just starting my cast loading in the 99. Horace

[ScottJ]

I did cast on Christmas day.

After I ran out in the back yard and discovered my new gift:
http://i410.photobucket.com/albums/pp182/ScottJ175/DSC_4063.jpg

fed 16 rounds of this boolit without a hitch: http://leeprecision.com/xcart/MOLD-DC-TL452-230TC.html

I cast a pot full to celebrate.

[35isit]

Had nothing to do on Christmas. So I fired up the pot and cast 4 pots of my Ideal .357 wadcutter. Wound up with over 600 after culling for my T C to shoot field pistol with.

[T-Bird]

Cooked all day for the family, beef tenderloin slow roasted and med rare, twice baked taters, oven roasted lemon/garlic asparagus, homemade yeast rolls. Casting is for non feast days! T-Bird

[41mag]

Well, all the in-laws, outlaws, kid and grandkids, and relatives live out of town and I was on call, luckily it was pretty peaceful around here. The sweetie and I woke up around 2'ish A.M Friday through Monday, thanked the Lord for our blessings, and enjoyed the quiet weekend together. It would have been nice to have been able to spend time with the kid and grandkids, but my foreman has held down the fort for most years and the past couple of years we have started swapping off. He deserves the time with his family as well.

I was being hammered by a sinus infection which slam dunked me starting mid week, but I still managed to get out and pour up several hundred boolits of different flavors, and get several more hundred which I had previously cast all lubed, sized and ready to load this coming weekend.

I have 4 more days being on 24hr call, then I give it back to my foreman. I'll be in town again this weekend but will be cranking out handloads for several revolvers. Then I will be burning up the HWY come Thursday, headed to the woods to try and put some pork on the ground with my freshly loaded boolits.

[Bullet Caster]

No casting on Christmas for me. I will be celebrating Jesus' birthday with my family--wife & 6 dogs. BC

[Snafu12]

I did cast X mas day

[Shiloh]

No.

But I did go shooting.
