I started removing primer crimps on brass. I had run those through Lee universal depriming die early this week. It's going to take awhile to work through a cat litter bucket 3/4 full that is a buddies. A mix of US arsenal head stamps DEN 42, TW 43 & 54, U 43, SL 53, LC 53 and DM 42.
More 9mm deprime and cleaning. I found two large coffee cans full I forgot about! I think they are breeding and multiplying

Unpacked my new powder coat oven with 2 shelves.
l assembled 250 38-44's with my lee hand press and emptied the coffee pot.
Washed and sorted and dried 1/3 bucket of range brass all this from one visit to the range in the snow. 850 223s. Almost that many 9s few hundred 10s and other pistol stuff. Thanks to Berry for the brass separator. Going to prep. The 223s to boost my preped up to about 2500. Just need more power.
De-primed and cleaned more 9mm brass.
Been looking for the powder I misplaced/lost since our move. It'll turn up sooner or later.
Old retired guy in Baton Rouge La.
Nothing went out to a Local lake and Augered some holes in the Ice, killed a few minnows and caught a few dinners of Splake, which was supper tonight.
Swaged the cores in 200 22rf jackets. Point forming next.
I reloaded all my 30s to 50s military 30-06 brass using new to me Lee deluxe dies; the collet neck die is neat.

Loaded 30-30 test load using Lee C309170F with IMR 3031 from 25gr to 27grs.
Scored a deal the other day. A local guy was bringing some reloading gear he didn't use anymore. I spied this RCBS powder measure on the consignment table at the LGS. $75 bucks with stand. Just the measure goes for $150 and the stand another $30. I been looking for one of these for a couple year but choked on the price.
I normally use a Lee measure but it does not handle flake very well at all. so I keep it for stick type powders. This RCBS should handle all types.
Then I scored a lb. of unopened BL-C2 powder for $30 bucks.
I cleaned it all up and tested it with a flake powder this morning. Bang on.
I made a little 12 x15" board and bolted it to it. Glued a piece of corner molding to the edge to keep the stray bits in the tray. I verathaned it for a smooth finish
I deliberately left the one corner open to sweep the tray bits back into the jug. It didn't come with a dump tube so I found a copper 1/4' NPT nipple that fit.
