I can't seem to get time to do casting. I farmed it out to a friend who has health issues and needs something to do. Told him I'd pay him well to use my equipment and make me bullets, just his labor. That has not progressed beyond the good intentions. I blew up my bullet oven. I have many bullets raw to size/lube, tumble lube, paint, just something so I can use them.
I did get an "office kit" for loading .38/.357 together. Found some dippers for AA#7 loads. The 0.5cc will do for .38 and the 0.7cc for .357. Easy enough. I'm thinking of expanding it to .45 ACP with some added dies, maybe .45 Colt with the different 310 priming die. IF I can find one, figure out which number of die assy. it is. I'm even considering contriving a "nutcracker" kit for .255 Banshee by mulling some .22 Hornet parts and some .257 stuff. I think it might be done.
Thankfully I get almost as much fun out of scheming as I do shooting.
