    It is a balmy 31 degrees in my garage. Cranked out a .50 cal can of 9mm so far - need a second wind.

    Next house I'm setting up a press inside!

    Yes. Haven't fired any yet. They're going to replace the 300gr Cast Performance bullets that were my "go-to" in heavy loads for a decade. The CP bullets are getting too expensive and hard to find. I drove the CP ones to 1300fps out of my Redhawk. If I can get the Lee version up to 1150-1200 with good accuracy and no leading, I'll be happy.

    Yeah, after last Thursday's short match, I'm down to <100 rounds of 9mm left. Have to get to work on that soon. Maybe after I get home from work today...

    That Lee is a pretty good bullet, I just wish it carried more lube. The gas check should keep leading under control.

    When Cast Performance was still in Riverton Wyoming I used to load up on their stuff while passing through. Gotta love Wyoming with their combo liquor/gun stores with drive up windows.

    I think there's about 2600 9mm loaded to 1.100 or so in a 50 cal can. What are you loading on?

    I worked up a new 9mm load with TiteGroup last night (135 gr Bayou Bullets, 1.100 COAL, 3.4 gr, ~131 PF, Federal SPP) and ran off about 500 + QC/Case Gauging for testing. Took me a good 2 hours.
