On the other side of the coin, it's raining down here in north Texas. Not going to shoot in that either.
Got that new Creedmoor just waiting until maybe Tues or Wed.

I am wondering how much does each ingot weigh and what is the total weight of the input and the output?
The ingot molds hold one lb of lead. If I am consistent in the source and the level of pours, I hit one lb almost every time. I wish they made a three or five lb mold for storage purposes.

This is the Creedmore 6.5 after working with the scope for a while. Needs just a little more work. Factory 143 ELD X all I have right now. This is the 5.56 Noveske 77 gr, Sierra of different flavors. Reloads, Winchester match etc. Picture is of the LABT Secnar 77gr. for the hunting end of things. Other rounds were 77 in SMK.

Great on the dies. I will get some soon. Have the compression die for the 44 headed this way. Really hope to get it all together before hog hunt. Oh I did buy 2 boxes of BP 44-40 from them. So if it's going to malfunction, I'll try to get that to happen before you shoot it.

I dug out my Ruger Whelen today and decided to throw a patch down the bore. I have not shot it since thumping a moose and elk in northern BC in 2008. Oops. The bore was loaded with Barnes TSX stuff. I felt like a bit of an azz putting a rifle away dirty for so long. I also dug out the "box" of handloads used (225 gr TSX via RL-15) to find six rounds and forty four pieces of brass. So it is load time tomorrow for a range trip Wednesday. I am bringing along a a custom Ruger Bisley 44 Mag and was happy to find a box of fifty loaded with the Beartooth 290 gr LFN's via HS-6. A nice mild load that should run 1000 - 1100 fps. The 45 Colt brass is now clean and ready to load tomorrow with the 260 gr Partition via LilGun for the M94. It is nice to be playing with guns for a change as I have been wrapped working on my Mustang.

So if it's going to malfunction, I'll try to get that to happen before you shoot it. I'm going to load jacketed bullets in my .44-40, and put a dab of Ingwe pink nail polish on the primers. Don't load any in your 1873
