Hello CptCurl,

No leading issues at all. Although I was initially concerned about the slight pitting of the bores, the paper-patching is doing fine.

I'm ready to go the the range again, with my 5 meager cartridges. I'll try seating the bullets out farther in the Winchester cases so that bullet lead will be closer to that of the longer AH brass.

I'm doing all this without real loading dies, they haven't arrived yet. I have been resizing the case necks with a sizing ring that I made on the lathe, and I've been "staking" the bullets in place with a center punch.

This time I made a "crimping ring" to better control neck tension. We'll see what happens.
