Got 114 .357 mag cases cleaned and primed. While I was cleaning up the area in my garage where I decap brass I had found 4 more .357 Mag cases
under the bench. Maybe I'll check under the furniture cushions in the house for more....you never know! :lol:

Hopefully the MB 180's will arrive tomorrow.

"but I know where most of it is". That's all that counts. Am I seeing some 30-30 rounds in that block? That'll be what I'm working on later.

Loaded 60 of those 180's.
Time for a snack, then some heavy 41's.

Tom, 18.7 of IMR 4198.
It shot well in the one Winchester, and two of the Marlins.

No sir, this is an accurate mold that I bought early last year, and it's 270 gr.
That 250 there is the one used by Cor Bon if I'm not mistaken.

I have tried those by CorBon and that worked great.
At 50 yds I had one ragged hole.
That's what I would like to duplicate with these 270's.
I was working on these back in the Fall then Deer season got in the way.

Lookin at my stash a bit ago, I need to do a casting session.
