I put a set of handles on a new Lyman 311008 mold and cast some bullets.All I did to the molds was spray with brake cleaner.Alloy was 50-50 linotype and isotope lead.I had good bullets almost immediately from a warmed up mold.Cast size was .3142 and weight was 112 grains.Mold was made 11-15.Very nice performance.I have yet to get a bad mold from Lyman.
Emptied the tumbler and put the rinsed cases into the dehydrator last night. Took them out of the dehydrator today. Big batch of .30-30's and .303 British brass. (Covered 5 of the 7 trays in the dehydrator.) I'll do some more tomorrow ...
Had a new gun safe delivered and resized, flared and primed 300 9mm brass. Also put some wall control behind my reloading work bench.Attachment 207954

Finally got around to loading up some from my RCBS 429-240-SIL mold. This is a gas-checked silhouette projectile - flat point, rounded ogive, bore-rider nose band. Not quite a SWC, not quite a RNFP. Tried tom get some pics, but couldn't get any co-operation.
23.0, 23.5, 24.0 grains H110. Gonna try it in my 9.5" Ruger SRH.
Used the pin gauges the cylinder throats on my recently acquired S&W 14-3. Two throats would not accept a .358" pin, the rest would.
The two that had trouble, the pin would go up to the very end of the throat, just wouldn't go thru - maybe a burr. Got out a small oval diamond file, and just lightly stoked the very end, putting a tiny chamfer on the openings. Really, just took the burr off.
Worked like a champ ! now, to go shoot the thing.
Pic of my S&W 14s - top is the 14-3, bottom is a 14-6.

Today
I went to the un-reloading room
and shot 45 ACP, 38 Special and 22LR
Very satisfying

I made stocking stuffers in the reloading room. Black PC coated 9mm in brass cases for a niece, red PC coated .40 S&W in brass for another niece and her husband, red .38 RNFP in nickel cases for my brother and his wife. Total of 750 rounds.
Nice!
Cast 230 rounds of 9mm (100 pictured).
Nice way to spend my Thanksgiving AM!

almost completed my RCBD Trim Pro drill jig. This thing works great now keeping the drill in line.
Had a friend sharpen the cutter (he owns a saw and tool sharpening shop) and sharpened it on his end mill machine.
Now I can trim 9x19 to 9x18 in 3 seconds (after putting the brass in the chuck) with no burs
