    Cool what my wife did.

    So my better half baught me a Lee bottom pour 20 lb pot for my b day. It was bad enough when all I had was my lyman pot and dipping lead. Now I am burning through my ingots so fast. I haft to start smelting another batch again. Then she got me six cavity mold for my 9mm and 45. Just when I thaught it was over, My little brother got me a new rifle mold and two BP molds. I am going to overdose on Casting. New pot and so many molds. My oldest son got me a lee hardness tester to.
    Not sure How I will get through this one. I will try. Worst thing that could happen is I run out of lead.

    I wish I had such a problem.
    At least my wife doesn't complain when I go to the range as long as I take her out for supper afterward.

    Yeah. Sounds like a real bad problem you have.

    See? Simple! (poor guy,)
    We need somebody/something to keep the government (cops and bureaucrats too) HONEST (by non government oversight).

    Every "freedom" (latitude) given to government is a loophole in the rule of law. Every loophole in the rule of law is another hole in our freedom. When they even obey the law that is. Too often government seems to feel itself above the law.

    We forgot to take out the trash in 2012, but 2016 was a charm! YESSS!

    An alcoholic looking for the AA meeting wandered into a bar.

    Congratulations on the new tools of the trade. The Lee will drip also.

    the worst thing that COULD happen is to run out of lead.
    all that other stuff instantly turns into art deco at that point.
