    Ordered a shellplate for Hornady Līnīl AP press some time ago. Received older model plate without the extractor groove on bottom.
    Could have returned that plate but correct ones arenīt available here (or nearly anywhere, it is for 7.62x54R)
    Intermittent cut on a small desktop lathe is not fun but got it done.

    Loaded a ladder of 6.5CM with Lapua brass, H4350, BR-4's, and 147 ELD-M's.

    Setup and cast 200 45 285 FP-FB with a new to me Magma Master Caster mold bought from a member here.




    Since that video was posted I installed a touch screen.

    I loaded 10 25 ACP's while doing the laundry. Only took me the best part of an hour (truth in advertising means I have to say I primed about 200, but only managed to get 10 loaded-weighing each charge.)

    Sorting out the 350, 32 ACP and 38 Special brass I emptied yesterday.
    Old enough to know better, young enough to do it anyway!

    I necked up two R-P .244 Remington and eleven Norma 6mm Remington brass to 6.5, then to 7x57 Mauser as an experiment.
    It worked just fine.
    In case 7mm brass gets hard to find….

    I finished up the last of my soft lead melting, turning it from sheets, blocks, and assorted pieces to Redneck Gold ingots! ‘Bout a hundred pounds so far! Now, on to the zinc wheel weights! Those cannonball guys are to get a chance on a big batch of melted zinc ingots in the near future! Click image for larger version.

    Turned 30lbs. soft lead into 20:1 ingots, cast some 45-70 bullets and than resized some 32-40 brass on my new to me Hollywood Gun Shop Super Turret. What a machine.

    I finished cleaning up a modified BSA 12/15 martini barreled action and cold blued it. Tomorrow it will get all put back together and a scope mounted. I have owned this rifle for years but shortened the barrel made a new forend and Acraglas bedded it and refinished the stock all recently.

    A while ago I purchased a "Quigley down under" Pedersoli Sharps with the 34" barrel along with two boxes Remington corlokt 405 gn bullets. it was only after I got home did I realize that the bullets purchased were "full charge". Knowing that Cabelas will not refund purchased ammo, I decided to strip the bullets and replace the smokeless load with 65 gns of Goex 2F powder. in 10 cases, I substituted the 405 gn bullets with Hornady 350 gn interlocks, and the remaining 10 were capped with the original 405 gn spcl bullets. I can't wait to get out and see how these loads group at 100. I also replaced the Vernier sight with a Lee Shaver sight with a Hadley eye cup.

    I've been on brass prep for the last several weeks

    Last night I finished swaging 45acp crimped primers, all pistol brass is complete after wet tumbling and a cycle through the dehydrator. I've also been bagging and tagging all completed brass, before storing in containers.
    I also worked on cleaning the reloading room and reorganizing after cleaning and prepping nearly 10K pieces of brass.

    I was on a roll casting some Lee 43-310-RF bullets for my Super BlackHawk when I noticed the mold halves were misaligning. The front alignment pin had slipped back into the hole such that it wasn't engaging it's mate in the other block. I decided it was smart to stop for the evening and wait for everything to cool before working on it. Only got about 100 cast before this happened.

    Moved in mid 2022 and did not get a reloading room right away went through some personal stuff suffice of to say I’m finally starting the project
    Insulated most the walls and ceiling of the mezzanine in my shop and Vapor Barriered it today just need 4 more bags of r24-23 and to frame a wall against back wall (the structure is solid but built a little jankey as it started as a 2x4 framed tarp shed then got 2x6 filled in between the 4’ centre 2x4s then rebuilt again later) then I can finish insulating vapour barrier the board and get my friend to tape it

    Going to steel stud the open end into the rest of the shop creating a fire break with rockwool and double 5/8 fire board
