Nice! I love having a ton of sticks of lube on hand. It makes me feel like preparedPatching is a great activity while on conference calls. I’ve upgraded from chore boy to bronze wool. I have a good stock of chore boy.
I received my 24 tubes of caranuba red yesterday so I’m good on lube for a bit. I got my RCBS lube warmer I ordered last May a few weeks ago. Been loading up 9 and 45’s

Ziploc bags.Anyone using Repackbox.com?
I wish they had Kraft boxes instead of white. There’s some sexiness to the old school way of packaging ammo. Screw plastic ammo trays. View attachment 572548
I’m dying here.
I guess with all the money spent on fancy guns and hair products you have to save where you can.Ziploc bags.
Only problem I had was my cast bullets at 313 would not chamber , tight in the neck area.Has anyone has any luck with cast in 7.62x25? I ended up grabbing a Lee 311-93-1R because that was what in stock when I ordered. I might end up beagling it a bit if it drops small. I have to pour a few first and adjust accordingly. Still trying to get out to test the PP 303’s.
Thanks I have a 36 cal mold from a small lot I bought need a 44 cal mold now.Gotta run now but will check later for some .36 cal round ball I have somewhere....
I might have a .451 you can borrow.Anyone got a 454” round ball mold collecting dust?
Ooo nice!Day off, took a ride out to @shootingsupply . Grabbed a 6 cavity Lee C312-155-2R for 7.62x39. Rcvd a tour of the back rooms too, place is bigger than you think. Real good friendly knowledgeable people. Talked a bit on casting and even name dropped @Michael J. Spangler .
Lee pot controlled with PID at 675 degrees. WW, cast 250, dropped at .313 diameter / 157gr., fricken perfect. Will hitek and plan to use IMR-4198, for the Norinco SKS. Shouldn't have to size as the barrel slugged at .312. Gonna try without GC
