Mitty I think the large shot kit is what you want . There are 2 special bars with a half dog bone insert for the assorted nontoxic shots . You may have to "dribble" the shot with a slowed bar movement.

115 4.5gr #B in a 1-1/16 oz steel shot load . I used a 209 tray . 2 per hole plus 15 . A 2.5" or so funnel cut as far up the tube as you can is great. I had one of the old snap cap ala Tupperware oil can funnels for a long time when I was loading only with the DL 55 .

Just finished mounting the 600 to me Franklin bench. Too lazy to run out and get the right bolts and washers in this Ice and snow. So torques screws and liquid nail. Probably going to pay for it later if I want to move it. But I can not see it coming off easy.IMG_20230122_200101479.jpg

I've been sorting, cleaning and annealing brass for 2 days now. Nothing like organizing a room that has never been truly organized. I have to have processed a few thousand pieces of brass so far.

It's also possible to make 22-250 brass from 243 brass in one swipe, having acquired a 22-250 and having no 243 I figured I'd find a use for the brass. It works like a charm.

yeah,,,, i got lots of gloves.
got a brand new pair of OVE-Gloves sitting right there in the kitchen still in the box..
i can see them from here.

i'm just not used to using LEE molds and their skinny little handles, plus i had been slightly adjusting the sprue plate to get rid of a little flashing on the front cavity.
got the flashing gone, then rolled the mold a hair to check the bullets before dumping them out.
slide... tss,, woah! scared me more than burned.

Brad, I understand how you feel about losing loved ones.
I will be 81 in 10 days.
living to a ripe old age has some disadvantages.
I have lost my wife of 60 years, my sister, and most of my good friends.
I`m still raking, hauling and mulching leaves.
It looks like I have a couple more days of it, at the rate that I`m going.
Man, this old age sure has slowed me down.
Oh well, got to keep on keeping on.

On the backup laptop now. Let me ask what may be the stupidest question ever- So when you go to a website on a smart phone, Android in my case, how the heck do you shut the program off after you are done? I'm sure I'm missing something obvious, but I don't want this stuff running in the background. Outside of restarting the stupid phone, what am I missing?

Bret:
When closing individual programs you swipe left and it takes you back to the home screen. The program will stay running in the background so that you can go check something else and still return to it.
On my android if I swipe up from the bottom of the screen all the open apps will appear. They look like slightly smaller screen images of what the app looked like when you left it. If you want to return just press the screen on the site you wish to return to.
If you Scroll to the right past all the open apps and you will see a button that says "clear all" hit it and done.

I'll give it a shot Rick. I knew how to do that on the old phone, but this one is different. Thx!

California's Central Coast Amid The Insanity
Yesterday, my son (Eric), his lady friend (Felice), and grandson (Aiden) drove down for our usual January Christmas get-together. Granddaughter Leila couldn't get the day off from work. Lots of laughs, reminiscing, and an overall great time, though too short on time because Aiden had to be to work at 6 p. m.

Eric will be 47 next month and is an industrial electrician at an East Bay refinery. Recently he was promoted to general foreman, given an $8 per hour raise and will be issued a company truck. The refinery is going through a two-year changeover and his workweek consists of six 10-hour days, plus the occasional day off call in. He's very happy, but misses his tools.

Aiden turned 18 in November and will be starting a five-week EMT class next month, as his first step to become a firefighter. However, he hasn't ruled out the military.

Eric and I have birthdays next month and plans for another get-together are in the works.

Seems like last week that I stood as straight and looked as young as Aiden, but all those years of long, hard miles and heavy lifting prove differently. Somehow, I think Antonio Troiani would be proud of the last of his blood. I'm proud of mine.
