The paint coating is working pretty good. Just took delivery of one of the Lee .357 push-through sizers yesterday.
Those are handy, I have several in various calibers.
Price is right too...

Garage sales have been a great source for me.
Most garage sales seems to have endless trinkets, doo-dads, gee-gaws, china, and other junk.
If I am driving by and stop, I'll walk up and ask, "Got any guy stuff for sale." They'll ask, "What do you mean by guy stuff."
"You know, hunting, shooting, fishing, tools, . . . guy stuff."

Made a
BUNCH of 9mm 115gn cast bullets today.
Didn't count them but I could hardly hold the coffee can I had them in !!
It was a perfect day in my area, Sun was shining, birds chirping and I didn't even have a coat on.
Now thats what I call "Casting bullets in a TEXAS winter".....

I'm waiting for some Rotometal tin , would have liked to cast some this last weekend but was out of tin . I have been mixing 50x50 coww and soft lead with about 3% tin for pistol , seems to be working well . Sure makes the molds fill out nice .

Something is wrong with me..!!!
About a few weeks ago I got a bunch of good wheel weights and made 90+ ingots, plus I have more than that stashed.
Ever since then I have not been able to cast any bullets yet.
I have been busy with one thing or another. Latest thing was building a greenhouse.
Almost pulled everything out a few days ago to cast some 230gn 45acp bullets, But just couldn't get into the mood.
Hopefully this weekend everything will fall into place.
I actually enjoy casting bullets, hot molten lead has a way of holding my attention.....

I was the same way last weekend. However, I was distracted by double-header hockey games on broadcast TV. I get it while I can here in SE Texas!
