Casting and handloading for offhand magnums.

I cast bullets over a propane turkey fryer.

Some bullets I clear powdercoated and some blue powdercoated.

I have that one and at least one other in that "HAMMER" configuration. They're not real nice to water filled jugs....

I assemble ammunition in batches. I am metering h110 16.5 grains with the lee deluxe powder measure, place the charged cartridge into the blue tray, then seating the bullets and throw them in the box. . Afterwards I reset my seat crimp die and crimp them all at the same time and doing everything this way I get extremely consistent ammunition.
