Lubed and sized today

I sized and lubed 1,000 200 grain LSWC's for 45 auto today. I cast them a couple of weeks ago.

1000? I'm happy when I cast 200! I did 250 yesterday, lubed and sized, some of them loaded already.

That is a lot of work. But, worth it (compared to tumble lube).

Found about 2000 45acp cases while looking for my blow tube today. They were sitting on a shelf, all peaceful like, hiding behind a pile of gun locks. Guess I have some casting, lubing and sizing to do, too. I cast one weekend, lube & size a week or two later. Gives the air hardening process time to work, I guess.
