RR's favorite caliber

Post by Vaquero » Thu Apr 18, 2019 5:36 pm

Yep, been stuffing some 45 Colt cases.
255 gr cast powder coated over the top 0f 9.5 grs. of Unique. :D
Got 60 done, had to take a break and go check on the tumbler and the 44's.

Got me a liquid salad for break. :lol:
Clamato juice, lemon juice, celery salt, Worcestershire sauce, a little Tabasco, and some liquid Taters. :lol: :lol:

Yea, yea, it's a Bloody Mary.
I'm through with the loadin fer the day.

Got 91 more, yeah 91 :lol: cases primed and run through the Neck expander die.
So all they need is a little powder and a chunk of lead shoved in 'em.

Got the 44's out of the tumbler, and loaded back with some 41 mag and a few 35 Rem.

PT7 brought me some 45 Colt brass today, so tomorrow it's decapping and tumbling day. Maybe this weekend we'll crank out some 250gr/Unique boolits!
Thanks for the inspiration!

Powers Booth, rest his soul, was a great actor! My first impression, erie as it was, is the Jim Jones cult movie. "Jim Jones Massacre " maybe ?
