What did you do today in the world of reloading?

[Deavis]

Processed 9 brass, had a good opening run on 1 processor until a stupid A-USA casing came through and left an anvil in the pocket. I hate that brass and I had almost 15k without a stoppage. After that I was hitting one every 2-3k on both processors. Sigh...

First cast!

That’s almost as easy as wiping my ass!

Man I went through the two and a half pucks I brought home from the warehouse. I’ll be bringing home some more soon.

I’ll get the weight on what I melted and post how many bullets I got from X pounds!

 

[xdmikey]

Also will post some pics.

I would advise a noob to go for the bigger pot; it’s easier to skim the garbage out from; there’s no stick in the middle to work around!

Are you running a fan or have something to help vent outside while running the pot?

 

[xdmikey]

Oh yeah. Backyard in case it becomes a hazmat scene!

Really, casting is less dangerous than reloading, at least in my case.

I’m serious about the pot size remark. Scraping the sides is the most frustrating part of the whole process.

I have more questions re casting but I plan to go back and read so I don’t sound like a moron.

Make sure everything is dry! I had a little water on my slag scooping spoon once. There was a big pop and my friend's wife got hit with some of the hot lead. I was melting wheel weights into ingots using a 2qt pot when this happened. I don't know if anyone told you this or if you've read it or not, but that's been the most dangerous experience for me so far.

Are you kidding? I've listened to those machines droning on a couple times and it sounds like heaven!

Ah. If you ever need good online sources we can help you out.

I like to support my LGS but sometimes they are a little out there.

It seems like every time I find a place for cheap once fired they go out of business before my second order.

Loaded some 6x45 for a night shoot at the range later. I'm going to see how well I can do on the long range.
