Oh it's cluttered reloading room. Theres' a commercial casting machine in there that we have to move to the garage...
The cool thing is that this is casting at my speed, load ingots, drink beer, watch the little bullets come out of the bottom.

THIS is kinda why my brain has been steering in the direction of "we don't need this much variety in the holes we make in stuff".
My total oddball Martini Cadet firing a .32-20 case blown out to appropriate bullet diameter for the original bore shoots so well I don't dare mess with it, but I still frequently wish it were a totally pedestrian .357 Mag.
In similar vein, I love my Webleys and .303's, but. . .
The weird, unique, and historically interesting is fun, but the logistics of it are a pain in the ass.

Which a prime reason every gun I own I can either buy ammo readily, or load easily.
Some obscure .69420” diameter bullet on a 122.369 mm case I have to make or scour the world over?
Naw.

I’d like to see all that automatic equipment running.

Yep, a few 1050s with electric motors and such.

I’ll get some videos. It’s fun to lay back and watch bullets drop.

The sexiest I get is 45-60 and other Winchester “dash” calibers. Most of my stuff is pretty pedestrian so a single stage with the loadmaster is about as sexy as I need to get. He like BIG boomers in handguns but loads things like 9mm by the thousands. He is however planning on making 1,000 rounds each of .500 S&W Mag, .480 Ruger, 454 Casull and .460 S&W. I guess I’ll have to help shoot some of those…

That’s why, while tempting one stayed away from the craz weird stuff… so far.

Yep….
Worse than I am… he’s got a lot of other bad traits too. Loves guns, cigars and good bourbon. Big time steak lover and car collector too. She couldn’t have found a worse guy to carry on my genetics
If my daughter ever leaves him I’m adopting him and SHE is off my will.
