Actually her birthday is this coming Saturday. However, this is what she asked for and what she got. It arrived early and we are already putting it to good use.
Backstory. Brenda loves shooting her handguns. Her latest love is a Ruger SP101 in .327. She is well enamored with my Single Six in .32 H&R Magnum. I’ve been loading the H&R for several years after I found a nice Single Six for sale. She picked up on it and last year, our son found her an SP101 In the 327.
Second Chapter. I have been making and using cast bullets in our handguns since the middle 1970’s. My current RCBS Lubrisizer had a major malfunction, (the threads on the housing for the die lock ring stripped out.). I was very careful, to engage the final bit of threading for several years now, but in October, those last few threads stripped out as well. Called RCBS, nothing they can do and it’s toast. So, no more cast bullets. Since I have never even purchased jacketed bullets for some of our revolvers, I simply hand none in stock, but Sierra had 90 grain JHP in stock, so that kept her shooting, but still
So, she wanted her cast bullets. So, we ordered a new lubrisizer. It’s here, it’s installed and set up and lubing and sizing bullets.
Be jealous fellows, Married 50 years to a wife that loves to shoot.

I’m doing all of our hunting/ CF Rifle on an RCBS Jr-3 with a Uniflow and scale/trickler combo. I really appreciate her assistance loading, even though trouble shooting and maintenance have become my job.
