    Loaded 80ish rounds of 9mm Nickle case 5 grains of "pistol powder" 124gr jword mixed HS mostly speer and fc, then fired them. had three cases split one at the rim the other 2 in the middle, just tiny separations. had one failure to feed from each mag, but a snap back on the slide and it went. should have pulled the round to check for OAL but oops.

    also had a .380 case slip through, two of them but I caught the one. now I dun wasted a primer cause I don't have a .380

    something wrong with picture uploading? tried a few times and it kept failing.

    Made up a batch of Felix lube. Stuff looks good. I love the consistency. Can't wait to try it. I should have a rifle mold coming in tomorrow..8mm mauser.. Might use it then.

    "Delivered" three of these to my shop. 250# of range scrap. We cleaned out the bullet trap at the local indoor range and the scrap is left in 55 gal drums for members to take as needed.

    Cast couple hundred 225 tacos and about 500 190 grain 40s...

    Those long 30 caliber boolits are very hard to cast. The short 190s are super easy...

    It'll still be there after I get this processed. (4) 55 gal drums 1/2 to 3/4 full. It's a small club, less than 150 members and not that many of them casters. This was a 2 year cleanout.

    Went Shooting my 45/70 Sharps Replica Yesterday, Moving my Loads out to 100 yds, then 200, and further.
    That being said,
    Woke up early had take 6 Shells apart, using some Older CCI L/R Primers, that had failed to go Bang.
    Prepandemic Estate purchase, Less than 1 % fail to off.
