I decided to try out some of the new to me lead I got yesterday.
Started out with some 45's, it's a Lee mold and suppose to be 230 gr but mine came out 239 to 240.5.
Then some 41's, it's an accurate mold suppose to be 270 but mine dropped 274 to 275.7
Then another Lee mold in 358 for the 35 Rem.
It's a RCBS copyof their 200 rfn, mine dropped 202 +or - a little.
Then the Lyman 300gr, but these are always heavy, today they were 324.4 to 325.6.
These will all get powder coated in the next week or so. I like to let 'em sit a few days before I coat 'em.

Looking good but I couldn't help but wonder about what part that bottle cap by the Lee mold played in the session? I can't quite figure out the silver mug either?

Well, the silver container is actually a bottle coolie cup and the cap is the one off that particular bottle in the silver container.
As I was nearing the end I decided I needed an adult beverage and it is Sat. and well past noon.

Re: A little casting session.
My casting session was with the 158 Lee RF. My favorite .357 plinker. This pic was just before the Leinenkugel bottle showed up.
Probably powder coat with Smoke's Signal Blue yet tonight and then run them through a Lee .358" push through sizing die.

I like Smoke's Signal Blue. Always get great coverage with it.
His John Deere Green is another good one.
