On Saturday, broke in my new Lee TL 356-124-TC. Rough start but stuck with it and started turning out good ones after smoking it a few times and finally finding the temp it likes.

I finished setting up the kit form Inline Fabrication on my Lee Classic Cast Turret press reverse rotation and the finger that pushes the finish round out, down the little slide and into the plastic tray. Then I loaded about 75 rounds of 223 with cast boolits. Thank you Inline Fabrication for a very functional system.
Prepped 100 44mag cases for the new to me Rossi showing up this week sometime.
Couple nights ago I cut up about 1/2 gallon of LC 223 brass down to the much better cartridge 300 Blackout. I lubed and sized them tonight.
Into the tumbler for a couple hours now to clean them.
Looks like I need to order some more media. Down to 3 or so gallons. Anyone else buy media by the 50 pound bag around here? I'm thinking there might be a good percentage.
Set up my Lyman 4500, used a lube I made, (Bee's , Vaseline , Carnubula ) 3 steps in one ! I like that.

I made a simple garage for preheating the mold...drilled a hole in the top and put an old oven thermometer on it...

I may have passed my "Best Before" date, but I haven't reached my "Expiry" date!
Pulled down some more old junk ammo for the components. Powder coated some .30 calibre boolits in 125 grain, 155 grain and 247 grain ...

Loaded the 900+ pounds of ingots from the last two smelting days into milk crates. After while I'll probably scrap up the little splashes of spilled lead and finish storing the smelting tools away.
Loaded some test rounds in the .32ACP with the Accurate31-090B boolits(thanks Outpost75!).
Replaced the broken mag catch in my brother's Colt Huntsman.22 pistol. Arthritis came to help!?
Best, Thomas.
Picked up 7 55gallon drums and 20 5gallon buckets for storing brass. Dirty brass goes in drums and clean brass gets stored in buckets with lids and packed away for later.
Shed tears because I have to go to work, but there is always tomorrow.
