Got my Lee sizers last night in the mail and irritated the wife by deferring the house painting project a few more days and started sizing, lubing and loading some of my home cast bullets.

This is REALLY FUN stuff!!!!

Gonna try and make it to the range today with a few loads for my GP100.

140gr. WC (Lyman 358495) over 5.0gr. of 231

and

170gr. Keith SWC (Lyman 358429) over Elmer's load of 12gr. of 2400 in a 38 special case.

I'll drop a report here if I get it done.

I also spent some time modifying some single cav mould handles (Lyman) to fit my 2 cav moulds. IF ... and that's a big if ... I get the house trip painted tomorrow, I will cast some of the following for my 44mag:

255gr GC SWC (Lyman 429244)
180gr. WC (Lyman 42934)

House what house??? Man's got important things to do. Can't be worried about an old house. Got the rest of your life to paint a house. Now shooting that's the way to go.

Sounds perfectly reasonable to me....

Heck, get the neighbors involved too ala Tom Sawyer!
