Sized a few Lee 358 105 swc to 358" to try in my Star BM 9mm. Finished the U- notch/ brass bead sights, too.

Pulled 350 150gr bullets out of some rejected 300 BO loads, bought a 5 gallon pail of em for the projectiles and brass.

WRideout. The best of memories are made this way!
My grandfather would take me along to shoot clays - me with a 32 ga double, him with his 1911! (he would easily outshoot me even that way).
My boys all love the reloading room and of course the fruits of our labours.

Great pictures, cwtebay. I used to take my three girls shooting when they were young. Now we all live in different states, but when we get together, it's either shooting or fishing.

Nothing in the reloading room, but did scrounge another 10 lbs. of pewter. Paid $20. A little higher than I normally pay but on average I'm still close to $1.50/lb.
You know its pretty cool when you can fill up your powder thrower with HP38 at 5.2 grs and load an array of 45 acp designs! Ive stepped up to this weight and a lil beyond on the 185 gr hp MP mold, the 200 gr Lee SWC mold, 230 gr LEE RN mold, and the jacketed 185 and 230 and found 5.2 to be good. All group at 3 inches at 10 yards freehand out the ole Ruger P90.

Cast some Lee 90gr .314 Swc yesterday, today I loaded them in my 32-20 cases for my new to me vintage S&W hand ejector and my Colt Police Positive Special.
Sized & lubed some 165 gr. Ranch Dog boolits. Then I dipped them into JPW and set them out to dry. They should be ready to load in a day or two....

Did I ever mention that I hate to trim brass?
Craigslist cruising, found a P-W 800b and a Mec 650, both in 12 gauge. Picked them up this AM. Spent the afternoon cleaning the P-W. Just what I needed, two more 12 gauge presses to add to the Mec 9000 and 650 in 12 gauge I already own.
Loaded 40 308 with 150gr leegc boolits over 18gr of 2400 .then cleaned my savage 116 .
Cast about 150 of these, new mold dropping.315 which is perfect for my Colt police positive Special. I tumble lubed these and loaded them in my 32-20. They shot well at the range. Tim
