Loaded 100 rounds of 45 Colt on the single stage press.
cast and sized 1000+ H&G 41-210 SWC boolits, loaded 400 rounds of 44 Mag 200 RFN
Viet Nam 11/66 to 3/68
Made up a few different batches of .357 target ammo using some trail boss and unique so far. Bullet is 158gr DeCarli wadcutter via Mihec buy, Carnuba red White Label lube, all sized to .358 as my gp100 won't chamber a .359" sized wadcutter set at the crimp groove. Hand primed one at a time on the Rockchucker then powdered/seated/crimped on the Loadmaster.
Smelted one-half the range lead I mined during my last trip to the handgun range - ended up with 46 pounds of ingots. Had a nap. Then ate a great dinner of fresh salmon and potatoes from the garden. Then went to the tree stand with crossbow in hand and shot a spike just as it was getting dark. It ran about 20 yards before it collapsed. The arrow went through the lungs and when gutting it I noticed the broadhead nicked the heart. It is hard to beat such days.
I made Colt food.
Found 240 lbs of lino that I had stashed away 25 years ago!
every day is like christmas................................
Sized, gas check seated and lubed about 250 cast bullets, 440 grain .500 S&W then loaded about 50 of them up...
Played around with powder coating the Lee 358-105-SWC for 9mm with HF flat black and 2 coats of ASBB tumble coat. Determined that it does not want to feed in my CZ-75B Compact, but it does not have a problem with my Taurus 92.
After powdercoating, I tumbled about 300 of them in a small dollop of cable pull lube and ran them through the 0.356" Lee sizer. Then tumbled them in a towel to dry off any remaining lube and loaded them with 4.0 gr of Alliant Promo.
Nothing! My reloading room has been inaccessible for more than 2 weeks.....my withdrawl symptoms are becoming more painful each day this continues......

Tropical Storm / Hurricane issues?Originally Posted by matrixcs
Been sick in the house for a few days...been using my "indoor" tools (Lee hand press) to prep a couple thousand rounds of 45acp I just got from a guy...nice stuff...all LPP...clean and of the 2000 pieces over 1300 were Winchester which I like and very little "oddball" stuff.
No..... Family visit....

Hurricanes / tropical storms are often more enjoyable than family visits.
Primed and charged 30 25-20SS cases with 8 grains 4227, cast and lubed 86 grain boolits from an ideal number 4 combination tool.
Now just waiting on my new dies from CH4D
Life is so much better with dogs!
Family and fish start to stink after 3 days.
Lead bullets Matter

I went to church, spent the day with my wife and three grown sons, all three home at 1X and didn't touch anything related to casting or reloading. It was a great day.

Amen Mike the Wife and I went to Church too but took a nap and then went for a tour of some really big hill we hadn't seen yet.

Got a new case gauge for the 35 Rem, going through the "sized" brass for opps and trims.
Sorted some 30cals for the 300B0...
Changed out the trigger and hammer springs in 2 AR's with JP Enterprises reduced spring tension Kits; deprimed approx 300 pieces of brass so I can SS tumble them tomorrow; used my Wheeler Scope mounting levels to readjust my brothers scope(s); loaded a batch of 5.56 with 62 grain soft points and spent a while target shooting with my brother. Super afternoon (went to Church this morning as well).
