What did you do in the reloading room today?

[SSGOldfart]

The problem is I can cast them six at a time but only size them one at a time.

you'll wind up with a star or progressive sizer I have a couple of Mike's sizers auto -sizer II.

Yesterday I cast some 200 gr. 30 cal. for a friend at church. Today I put the final coat of Ben's Liquid Lube on them. He's not shot cast before and I offered to load some up for him. He has the reloading dies. I am getting together with him after church to determine the best OAL, bringing the necessary tools with me. I have a five gallon bucket full of very nice COWW I need to melt down and turn into ingots. So far I have just stared at them.

Today I cast a couple thousand 175 grain .401 TC's. It's time to give the pot a good cleaning so I poured it empty.

Nice!

They're all sized and ready to tumble lube. I have about 6000 rounds loaded now so I'm just going to store these boolits dry and lube them when I need them.

What are you shooting them in?

Cast over 400 452-200-RF yesterday. After church today I will cull them and then some blue powder coat will finish them.

Cast 450 of NOE 326471 and Lee 323 175 bullets, checked, lubed, and sized. Ready to load for Yugo's 8 X 57's. Rainy and crappy hear today, excuse to sit at the reloader, prepare for a future day of shooting. Flyer

Put out new PB baited Mouse traps and some new poison. Spring is here they were gone all last fall. Hope this works

Picked up about 60 mixed Lake city blank 30-06 brass, trimmed and resized them down to 7.7 x 58 Jap. Loaded up about 150 .380 ACP plinkers with 2.4 grains of greendot pushing a 115 grain cast boolit. Rainy day so spent some time in my man cave.

I introduced a new shooter to this magnificant hobby of casting and reloading. We chatted about where to start, which caliber, basic needs, starting slow, paying attention to detail, and enjoying the company. Then I provided him with access to my reloading library of manuals for his perusal. We've scheduled another, more in-depth, FTF discussion in two weeks when he is back in town, to tune his favorite 30-30. In the meantime, we're conversing via email.

Been loading for an up coming prairie dog shoot. Almost got my 4th pound of powder emptied loading for 17 cal. and 20 cal.

[Eddie2002]

Fired up the small pot for a quick casting session and produced about 200 .312 100 grain boolits for the 7.7 Jap plinker loads and some extra for my 30-06. Drilled and taper honed a .312 hole through a 1/2 inch piece of plate steel to use as a sizer to knock off any mould lines and clean up the boolits. Looks like a real sizer die is needed down the road but the hole in a piece of plate is working ok for now. On a real tight budget in the reloading room and am trying to make accessories instead of buying them.

The Lee push-through sizer sets are pretty affordable: $20.99 + shipping from Midway. I know that's more than what you spent on making your own but you're able to let someone else to the engineering and manufacturing.

I spent an hour this morning loading up some 38 special rounds with NOE 150 grain SWC boolits. I spent an hour this afternoon casting some more of those same boolits.
Got a nice container with 528 of them in it.
I had a good casting session today. I only had 4 rejects during the entire run.
I may push my luck and cast more boolits up later today.

[DonMerlin]

Unboxed and tried out my new Lyman 2500 sonic cleaner. I ran some 45ACP through it few times. I'm impressed with this sonic cleaning.

Upgraded my lighting in the reloading room today.

Added under shelf fluorescent light fixtures, mounted above of my loading bench.

Also changed the overhead incandescent light bulbs, to 100w (16w LED) 1600 lumens Utiltech LED bulbs. The first LED bulbs I've ever used.

Trying to brighten things up in there, with some modern lighting.

Reverse rotation is pretty cool but I don't want to go that fast.
