I'm starting work on some cedar handles for some HSS LR/SR primer pocket reamers I picked up the other day. Getting the cedar trimmed down to 1-3/8" diameter and assembling the hardware I intend to use is as far as I got today.
In the shop not the loading room. Started stamping identifying letters on a 3000# pile of wheel weight ingots. Probably about half through.
Loaded about 300 .44MAG Cowboy Loads.
Finally set up the 1st set of HORNADY L-N-L bushings for those dies. Set up the dies for .44SPL, then used the REDDING .44 cal spacer washers to raise the dies up to load .44MAG. Those washers for .44 & .38/357 are fantastic.
Do the .38/357 next.

Happiness is a Warm GUN & more ammo to shoot in it.

I loaded some cast.45 ACP lubed with Johnson's Paste Wax for the first time.
Hi-Tek Coated 1,000 Lee 401-175 TC to add to the horde. I think I have around 5,000 ready to load now.
Kraken Fan #69
Started depriming 800 + 16 ga compression formed hulls.

Sorted and trimmed 30/30 brass. The Winchester brass is now trimmed, but still have a pile if R-P and Federal brass to trim.....but that will be later....Did I ever say that I HATED to trim brass?

Load and test some Acme 100gr RNFP in my Ruger 32H&R Mag's. I used Unique at 2.5gr and they were well under the expected velocity. Going to bump them up some and see what happens as the recoil was very light. I did crimp them long in the groove so that may be the answer to why they were slower than expected.
Almost forgot, one of my bosses gave me a Folgers Coffee Can full of .40 Brass and most of a pound of Power Pistol. I am tumbling the brass now.

Worked with my Redding Turret press and a universal decapping die. De-capped about 100 pieces of .300 Blackout brass. Going to clean them tomorrow, load them Monday.
Converted 277 pcs. of 5.56 LC into .222 Rem. for my Savage 340, resized 1,000 pcs. 9mm. 'Bout wore me out.
So many guns, so little time

Melted about 800 bullets I no longer shoot and casted about 200 45-70s. Loaded up about 50 rounds of 357 to shoot a little tomorrow.
Flared my Winchester 30/30 brass , so now it's ready to load. I have a LOT to prime and load. It will keep me busy for a while. My Federal and RP brass went back into storage.
