I firmly believe that you should only get treated by how you act, not by who or what you are!!
cleaned some of the mess.

Started testing Vectan GM3 in a 14-4 38sp I got a little while ago. Works very good

I am waiting on reloading components, my casting setup is still behind a huge pile of snow out in the shed. It was cold and rainy all day Saturday so. Having bought an NRA gun record book a while back I recorded all my guns sorted out the stack of records and receipts. took photos of new acquisitions and made sure everything is up to date. It is good to know what you have what it looks like and what you think it's worth. not planning on going anyplace soon but it feels good to know my wife wont be completely lost if I do. right now she only knows there is a place in the basement where I keep my stuff can't remember her ever actually setting foot in there.
Why Johnny Ringo you look like someone just walked over your grave.
resized & de-primed 100 40-70SS cases then ran them through the wet tumbler a couple of times to wash & rinse. They are hanging to dry now. Time to stuff them and get them ready for my better half to shoot them up.
Loaded up a couple of boxes of 7.62x54r with Vectan A0 and Ba9 and the NOE 311331 to see how they compare to my accuracy load of 11gr of Unique in my M28-76. Maybe one of them will turn out to be my new accuracy load. The manufacturer mentions the powders are good for cast in rifles; so we shall see.
Heat-cycled a new NOE mould! I did some loading last weekend but between yardwork, taxes and heavy rains a range trip didn't have a chance of happening. Maybe next weekend.

Loaded 40 rounds of 458 socom. My cast boollits aren't working so I got some Hornadys to sooth my ego until I get time to adjust my molds.
Cast some 358140 20:1 and water dropped them this morning to try out in my pistol over gm3 to see if that will get rid of the slight leading before changing a batch of alloy

I finally got through all 41 pages of this thread, now I need to go do research on this powder coating of bullets. Seems not right to me somehow but then again I need to get out more.

I spent the last two days building a shelf unit to hold ammo, so spent time cleaning the reloading room. Sawdust everywhere!
Loaded 200 rounds of 380.

I caste about 50 usable hollow based .455 Webley boolits. Both mould and lead need to be hot to get usable boolits.
Had just enough time to cast 100 boolits for my .32 mag.
Getting ready for 2nd quarter AZ club shoot on Sat.
Loaded up a couple hundred 38SPL's for my new S&W 357 magnum revolver to check the sites. (laser bore sites are nice, but you cannot beat real lead flying downrange to final check your settings!) All weights of 358 boolits packed with ETR7. And to run thru my 38/357 carbine.
Loaded 100 rounds of 30-30 with different loads for 170 gn 14 Bhn PC'd boolits. Playing with ETR7 for sonic and full loads of X-Termiator and LeverEvolution. All slugs Cu GC'd.
And 150 rounds of 223's for the Mossy lever rifle in both Bator plinking and full X-Terminator FMJ loads. Just so the gun does not get lonely!

Walked by. E-scale noticed my presence so I weighed a boolit and walked out, closed the door. I'm one tax return and a NASCAR race away from doing a bit of casting.

Not so much of what I did today but working a few hours every evening this past week I finished preparing 1000 300Blk cases from indoor range pickup 223 brass. If I don't do anything in my workshop every evening I get weirded out as I feel I have not been productive.

Sand casted a 1.5" cannnon ball but where is the line between cannon ball and boolit drawn
