    Loaded 100 Rnds of .223 Ladder load of RL10x and A2015 with 50 gr Amax bullets to test in the Ruger MkII. Hopefully these will give me that accuracy to keep from selling or swapping the gun.

    The 3031 loads of 17, 18, 19 grains weren't all that great in the 223 yesterday. Tested 15 and 16 grains today, 16 not too bad but not as good as 748.

    Cast a few 44 button nose WCs from a used Lee 2 cavity mold I acquired. Worked well, but we will see how they shoot

    Finally fired up the master caster. Swagged more .187 cores for 55 gr .22 lr while it heated up. Then cast for about an hour. Longest time my body will let me sit in one place.

    I was in the business of PC'ing some .266 and the lil "Tumbler Tumbler" needed some more weight so that led to coating some 467 .452 RN. I forgot I still had a half of pint of HF red.

    Finished swaging cores. Now to the other tedious chore of deriming cases.

    I had some down time at work so I hand primed 1999 9mm cases. Missed a crimp that claimed the 1 primer.

    I finally got some shooting in and had 300 44Mag rounds to deprime.

    Shooting Double Action only really speeds up the unloading part.

    Shooting 300 44 mag (especially if full power) double action takes a lot of energy!

    Today I made my 300 BO rounds for the rifle side match of the combat match this weekend. This batch is all HiTek coated and they look nice.

    I had some spare time, so I loaded 50 rounds of 115 gr 311008 with 3.8 gr W231 for my 32-20 revolver. Yesterday I cast some 250 gr 44 and 170 gr 38 Keith bullets with my new Arsenal molds. looking forward to getting them powder coated, loaded and out to the range for a test run.
    What could possibly go wrong?

    It’s pretty easy to run through that much 9mm. I had more, but only brought 2k primers with me to work. lol.

    I bought a lot last year of 180lbs of lead ingots, 8 sets of RCBS dies and 10k small pistol primers for $200 out of an estate. Just think about what your family will do with your hord after your time is done on this plane.
