Cleaned over a thousand 357 cases, Sized and flared the mouths, all on a single stage press, will prime them tomorrow, but waiting on projectiles. Sized and cleaned about 40 30.30 cases, primed, ready to drop the powder and set the bullets. Might setup the progressive for 9mm tomorrow, see how things go.

Damn! That's when you need kids. Been there with my single stage press... makes the day go by in a hurry. A couple years later, I upgraded to a progressive. Still use the single stage for precision rifle ammo and whatever I don't do on the progressive.
this afternoon i turned 20 416 weatherby brass into 460 brass and then loaded 30 rounds. 400gr cast bullet 80gr of H4895 driving it
loaded 50 375H&H rounds with 300gr jacketed. 70gr of W760 driving them
and prepped, resize and primed 50 43 Express cases

Its doing well. Ive loaded these cases a few times now, i have 100 total. shoots well at 100m with iron sights. I havent used it hunting yet. But i do take it to the range. When i load these ill post the data but off my head i believe its 53gr imr3031, 360gr bullet and 1800fps. i going to work this next batch up to 1950fps i hope, giving me the 3000 pounds of energy i wanted.

I am blessed with a Uberti repro of the 1873 .45-75 WCF bottleneck lever gun. The last guys to use it were the Royal Canadian Northwest Mounted Police, and shells and brass are virtually unobtanium. I did get about 200 virgin Jamison brass with the gun a couple years back, and when it craps out I will have to make it by forming down the brass from 50 Alaskan. I just love this gentle big bear. Recoil is pleasant, and the blackpowder geeks tell me that cast lead bullets will typically pass right through a white tail standing broadside. Casting boolits is very rewarding too.
Getting on the press a few weeks ago inspired me to finally work on loading some .357 MAX for my revolver. Visited Henry to pick up some 180g bullets, more powder, and primers and today I loaded up 50 test rounds, with 5 different loads using 4 different powders. The fun begins after the range visit...

Cranked out a mess of .30 Carbine yesterday in a reloading session that could have gone better.
Today it's the turn of .577/450 to feed the Martini Henry. I'm using some of X-Ring (USA) .577/450 brass converted from 24 gauge brass shells, my first time using converted shells so it will be interesting to if any issues preset themselves though I have heard no negative reports.

Finally setup 30-30 on my 550. Only took me around 10 minutes to churn this out. Worked up a cheap plinking load of 135gr Hiteck coated Acme bullet on top of 6.5gr of Bullseye. Gives me a nice 1360fps at less than $0.20 per round
