Emptied the brass out the dehydrator, emptied the ss pin tumbler and put that new batch of clean brass into the dehydrator, re-filled the tumbler with 2,000 round of .40 S&W brass, sorted out a bunch of cleaned brass and put it away into storage boxes ... and then went and took a nap!
2,000rds of brass? You using a cement mixer?
Lubed about 1200 147 gir cast bullets for 9mm.
Loaded from start to finished 300 rds of 357 mag.

Today was a casting day. Cast with a new to me H&G 503-429 mold. Probably cast about 1000. This mold is a joy to cast with!
After work loaded 50 44 mag ratshot. 2 gas checks and #12 shot, 4.7 grains bullseye.
Finished sizing every piece of .243 brass in the house, well one box of 50 left but those are the daughters rounds and she has to work those up after she shoots the last 10 or so.
Made 50 cat sneeze loads using the ladder method starting at 3.5 grains then 3.8, 4.1, 4.4, 4.7, 5.0, 5.3, 5.6, 5.9 and 6.2. I used the powder coated Lee TL314-90-SWC.
Casted 2k 44 429421
2k 45 230 rn
Applied gas checks to a bunch of 224 cast boolits, boy what an intense chore.
I hobbled over and looked for the first time since my surgery. I didn't recognize the bench, as prior to the surgery I had put boolits and brass on the bench so I could have components handy with no strain. I didn't know that I cleaned it up so well !
Good to see you are ready to reload Tom. That sure is better than flat on your back. Keep the good news coming.
I loaded 50 .44 mag lead handloads for future Wild Bunch matches. These were loaded on the old Chucker. Before that, I loaded 250 .45 ACP rounds for Wild Bunch on a Dillon. Tonight was another box of #8 shotshells with shot I made.
