    Sorted out lead clip-on.wheel weights to make into ingots. Melted, fluxed, and poured into 1-1/2 and 8.5 lbs molds. Made about 100 lbs of clean lead. Hardness ranging from 11 on some and 13 on others. Today I will probably tackle the stick-ons and other leads. Might even get around to loading some more 450 Bushmaster too.

    What size pot do you use for bulk melting?

    Received 2 bags of 45-70 brass, new Starline from PSA. Starline has not had it listed for about 2 years, but PSA had it in stock.

    Loaded up some 300 Blackout , Sub-X loads with H110 . I finally took the infrared score off of my 300 BO, since we are not seeing many hogs at all. So I just put on some iron sights and think I will just have some fun plinking with my AR .

    I get out of the mood for a while, then it strikes back hard. In the last three days, loaded a bunch of .357 magnum, a few hundred rounds of 9mm, and I'm working on several hundred .38 special rounds. Two things helped me to get out of my doldrums: 1) Academy had boat loads of primers 2) if I'm going to the TGT shoot at Lonestar tomorrow, I don't want Moonpie thinking I ran out of ammo.

    What’s your go to powder for 6.5 grendel.
    I found that 30.5 gr of cfe223 and 123gr SST’s have the same point of impact on my gun as the store bought hornady custom 123gr sst
