Just got my hands on some HDS basic brass for my 45-120 Sharps. They really are a handful.

Sized, lubed and loaded 40 9mm rounds with the Lee .358-125 RF. Sized to .358. The ones that I did the plunk test fit my CZ 75 SP01 just fine, I'm hoping to try them out and see. If not, they'll fit my Ruger LC9S Pro.
Sized and lubed some Lee C312-185-1R for the Finn M39.
I find it easier to Size and check with the NOE push through, then lube with my old Lyman 45.

Loaded some 160 grgc 308 s and some 190 grgc 357 mag boolits
Prepped 30 45-70 cases .sized trimmed expanded and primed .its such a nice round to work with should have got one years ago.
I put some ammo away after a range trip yesterday.
Then I sized a couple hundred 360/230 NOW bullets I cast and PC’d last Friday.

In my hotel room,
Loaded 100 357mag. Hope they don't mind my press clamped to their table. I have 80 more pieces to load tomorrow evening
Packed all of my brass, boolits, bullets and reloading dies getting ready to move. Probably 500 pounds worth and I haven't even started on casting stuff, presses, lead and other reloading tools.
Put one box of .38 Special through the tumbler. Now to get them loaded...
I squeezed to size more 230 360 NOE boolits!
I did mount a different press. As these NOE cast a lil harder with there longer bearing surface have proven difficult to size on my Lyman turret. FAR and AWAY easier on the massively strong RCBS Summit!

More packing. I'm trying to get all of the parts of each item together like die sets that aren't in toolheads, swage parts, press parts and so on so that all of each item is together when moved. Putting all of each type of brass in one container when possible. Discovered that if I put all of the .40 S&W together it would be heavier than a cardboard box, even a really good one, could stand. Same for the .45 ACP. I probably have 400+ pounds of empty brass in a big variety of cartridges.
Next step is to start packing the machine shop and gunsmithing tools.
FINISHED the first batch of NOE 360-232 Boolits!! 600 DONE!!

Going to the range tomorrow. I *thought* I was going alone when my buddy calls and says "You still going tomorrow?".
I've got plenty of rifle ammo, but very little pistol ammo. I say "yep". Then he says "I want to spend some time at the pistol range - just got a bucket of bullets."...
So... Made up 200 40 S&W so we can spend some time at the pistol range. And maybe I can get a little more 40 S&W brass than what I came with...
Did a little smelting yesterday.only about 20lbs of wheel weights water pipe and gas pipe .loaded up 100 x45-70 410 gr boolits today .have to do more casting now.
Continued processing a bunch of .223 brass and started a couple hundred .45 Colt. Enjoying the day in my "Happy place"!
