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

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 ?

Boothe did a great job as Jim Jones in that movie - but try to catch 'Southern Comfort' sometime - another good movie with Powers Boothe.

Hmm, Deliverance, enjoyed it, but, dunno, might still check it out as Deliverance was a powerful movie. On steroids though...might have to be careful, no not really. I'm not a faint heart!

Slugnut, I load for all of those also, with exception of the 45-70.
As I have enough gumberment in my life. :lol:

Ran a batch of 41's through the tumbler yesterday. :D
Still raining here today, so I will probably be back at the press a little later on.
Got to meet a man about a check here shortly, first. :roll:
