I set up the shot maker again today and made about another 15#'s of #10 shot.

You can easily judge the character of others by how they treat those who they think can do nothing for them.

Wet tumbled, dried, sized and primed 30 Carbine and 357mag brass. About a half gallon each.
PC'd my remaining 311359s and gc'd them. I need to cast some more, didn't realize I was almost out. My mold is a single cavity, so good thing I have plenty of time these days.
Ivanfern,
For 223 powder, you may want to consider milsurp if you a willing to purchase at least 16 lbs or so.
The supply of WC 844 (H335 equivalent) seems to have dried up recently, but WC 846 (BL-C(2) equivalent) seems to be available for now.

Edit,
I found another milsurp source that has both WC 844 and WC 846

i assembled from spare parts a temporary palm rest for my modern muzzleloading schuetzen rifle - the seller didn't have it. A piece of all thread rod and a plastic knob may not be stylish but its a start.
Tumble lubed boolits for 9mm, 38-55, and .45ACP; and PC’d some for the thirtytwice.
I loaded 300 45 ACP rounds. I have a new mold add powder coated bullets for the first time.

All times wasted wots not spent shootin!
I am still in the gathering stage. I chose a path of passion which is apparently the hard way and I am refurbishing my Grandfather's old Tru-line Jr to use for reloading for my own little collection. I think the biggest thing I did for my reloading room was joined the forum legit and stopped lurking.
Casted about 80 pounds of lee 356-120 TC before the SoCal rain storm kicked in. Now just have to find time to powder coat and size.
I decided to upgrade my case annealing machine I built two summers ago. While it works perfectly,I had to add one case at a time.
Today I installed a 2ND drive motor and lathe turned a case feeder. By changing the speed of both the annealing drm and the case feeder, There is no problem with timing.
Depending on case size and flame temperature, the machine will do 500-750 cases an hour.
When the machine is set up the annealing looks like Lake City did the annealing. No chance at all of overheating the brass as the special cake pan is designed to absorb heat. It works very well indeed.
I will be building a case hopper so I can load the hopper and do other reloading things.
Here is the original version:
Here it is today:
The machine is very compact and weighs less than 5 pounds.
When can I buy one????
I cast powder coated and sized up little over 500 freedom pills tonight!
TWO CALIBERS!! 30 & 45.

Made a case length jig for cutting 24 gauge brass to length for my 450-577. Reform brass today.
smelted some wheel weights
My reloading room is my garage. I've been working on downsizing my collection the past few years and have ended up with some extra scopes. Spent the afternoon replacing inexpensive scopes with nicer scopes, although I still have a hard time replacing a B&L made Bushnell Banner with a Nikon on a classic style rifle. Anyway, I'll have a good reason to shoot them all when/if the facilities around here ever open up!
Sigh... Teleworked again,
Though I did load 50 .223 rounds during a 2 hr teleconference while on mute
