Was a nice long weekend. Got several things accomplished. Mainly loafing and a few fun projects.
Went to the range and had a blast Saturday. Sunday went to the flea mrkt with my buddy and we scored this hammer mold :) Made this .452 Lee sizer dia a couple weeks ago but thought I would show it anyway. But I stayed up late last night and made a .431 die for the newly aquired SBH so now I have the proper sizing die for it. I normally sized .429 for the smith but I needed a larger sizer for the SA.
I've got one extra day off tmw so I'm gonna stay up late and fire up the Pot and cast a few 44's to see how they run thru the new sizer. So I'm off to the bench shortly.....
Thats it in a nutshell here, did you get the chance to have some "fun" time this weekend? What did you do ? Any pix to share ?
(one die is a copy of orange version, the other is styled after the green type, there is also a partial red version too. As for the hammer, I guess I'll be doing some experimenting with that. Maybe a knurled handle in the making ??)
