finally added to my stash of 38 brass. Went to Graf's this morning and picked up a quick change and caliber change for the 550. They rang me up and I said "Oof". Price went up $80 since 2019.
I cast up a bunch of 120gr .356 lswc and 160gr .452 lrnfp. They are cooling in pan lube now. Will size tomorrow maybe.
Cooking up some rusty wheel weights before the rain comes in. Only 18 more buckets to go.
Last night I loaded up some different oal's of 452460 in .45 acp for my brothers 1911. Over 5.1 grains of HP 38. He has his 1911 so I can't 'plunk em's. hc18flyer
Set up and tuned the 38 Special quick change for the 550 this morning. Ran 200 rounds through it with 2.5 grains of Clays and a 150grain cast HP. Very happy with the increased productivity over the single stage Id been using for 38 for a couple of years.
Annealed a whole mess of 308... I found out about 1/2 way through a bunch of 8mm Mauser cases got mixed in with my 308s. It appears that there are about 50 in about 500 308 cases, but now I've got to go back through and sort those suckers out.

Spent the last 2 days cleaning, sorting, and organizing one bench. Mounted another Star. Created a mess in the rest of the room that will take me a month to straighten out.

I'll post a pic of the other bench with a 1050 and 550 when I get it clean.....in a month or so. To embarrassing to show now. Had to stop for a while when I was cleaning this. Found some 45 Colt primed brass I had forgotten. Then had to find the boolits. Then had to reload em. Created another mess I had to clean. It's a never ending battle.

Built shelves for the new caliber so I can have the bench back.
