Winter reloading?

[Adam Helmer]

Rocky,

I do most of my reloading on Winter days far too cold to sit at the backyard bench. I cast lots of bullets in the early Autumn on Indian Summer days and then load when the snow and sleet are tapping my reloading room windows.

I like Winter days because I just fire up the woodstove and then putter about my reloading room all day long. I have many 12 gauge Winchester AA hulls to reload for trap and sporting clays. There are lots of boxes of empty .38, .357 and .45 hulls that will be reloaded with good cast bullets.

I also like to spend Winter days in pure research on test loads for various arms. I dash outside at mid-day and fire the test loads and then obtain the data to load a 50 or 100-round lot of the accuracy load for Summer chucks.
