I had a migraine , so I had to use some meds
The meds took care of most of the pain
But I can't sleep after taking them so at 10:30 PM last night
So I fired up 2 lead pots
I figured I could cast up some bullets
WW for the bottom
Pure lead nose
I started with the 180 Gr .360 GC Flat nose bullet , only did 3-400 of these
Then I heated up the same design , but one that is hollow pointed .... only did 100 to test them
Then I did some of the 310 gr .430 GC Lee mold ..... 300 or so
Took a break for another round of meds and killed some time playing with the cats , the dogs didn't want to play
For some reason they just wanted to sleep
Then about 200 of a 250 gr .430 HP GC bullet that I dreamed up .... sort of a shortened Lee 310 .430 design
Then about 100 of a plain base .454 250 gr bullet .... I need to make a 5 or 6 gang mold as a single cavity is SLOW !!!
Then the Lee .454 300 gr GC Flat nose .... 300 or so
Took a break to read some posts here
Then I still had some pure lead I did some NOE .460 405 Gr GC RF bullets .... only had enough pure lead to do 214 of them
Then I cleaned up , took a shower and thought .... I should have just melted more pure lead
As I am sure I only have enough bullets for a few days LOL
Now it is a little after 8 AM and I just put 150 308 Winchester cases in the tumbler
Not sure what I am going to load in them .... but they were empty , so they needed loaded :veryconfu
Oh well maybe I will go fishing .... Darn it is raining and cold
So I guess I will see if I can get a few hours sleep
Have fun
John
