It is a breaker box. Two 15 amp breakers. Goes through a 30 amp breaker at the house.
Spent another day on the new shed. Took out the barn type double doors, and put in a window and a regular door. Now instead of a door bad guy can just crobar out, I have a steel door with lock and a dead bolt so he would have to work a lot harder to get in.
That answers my question.
Thread applicable content: I knocked the primers out of 36 pieces of .45 ACP brass. Not much, but it was something.
We had a big storm go through Mobile, and I noticed some wet floor behind my new reloading shed/man cave in front of its double barn type doors. SO I slightly modifed it to a regular type door, and put a window in that the future air conditioner wil go in. I bet it won't leak now!

I starting cutting down some commercial and military .223/5.56 brass to convert into .300 Blackout cases.
Transferred all my dies and all my powder to my new reloading shed. Still trying to figure out what kind of shelving I want to put in for all the rest.
Going to make some more 45 acp rounds but may have to put it off till Friday.
Getting a few hundred more 223/5.56 deprimer and swaged to be cut into 300aac. Got a decent price on 500 hornady 150gr FMJBT, $98 shipped...
Submitted my form 1 to the ATF to convert my pistol into a SBR, so I'm going to have to feed that.
Going to be sizing, trimming to length, chamfering and final polishing some .223 I shot off from my new AR15 last week. Also some 7.62X39 and 7.62X54R. Stll trying to find some decent cheap shelving to finish up my new reloading shed/man cave. Ordered a Lee shell plate to mount on my bench so I can switch the two presses I have out and only take up space of one on the bench.
I traded some 7.62 LC match cases to Happyguy for some 45 Auto Rim cases and he threw in some hollow base bullets to get my new to me 1924 Enfield (Webley) 455 revolver shooting. (By the way, Happyguy is a GREAT trading partner!) It has turned into quite a project. Turns out that the guy that "shaved" the cylinder did it with a hand grinder of some kind. The face of the cyl. was uneven and the gun wouldn't close with the AR cases in the cyl.. Luckily he didn't grind deep enough, so I disassembled it and finished it on my lathe.
So I then went on to reload some rounds for it. I loaded 6 rounds with the 250 grain bullets that Happyguy sent me with a light load of 3 grains of good old Bullseye to check function. Everything went good except the load was to lite to expand the hollow base bullets and accuracy was not so great. So I've upped the powder charge to 3.5 grains of Bullseye. I'll get to shooting them when the weather warms up again here in VT. and let you know how things turn out.
Also, if someone here has an original Webley or Enfield 455 I would sure like to know what the gap between the rear of the cartridge and the frame measures. I've got mine turned down so the gap is .003 (3 thousands). which seems a bit tight but the gun closes now. I sure would appreciate that measurement if someone could take the time to measure it.

Ordered some shelves for the reloading shed. Once I get them assembled and all my reloaded ammo and supplies transferred I'm done.
Fixing to load up over 200 Yugo 8x57 cases that were pulled down. Already primed-that's good.
Load and shoot: 6.5mm (Dutch, Jap., Carcano, Swede), 7x57, 7.35 Carcano, 7.5mm (Mas, Swiss), 303 British, 7.65x53, 7.7 Jap, 7.62x51, 30-06, 8x50R & 8x52R Siamese, 30-40 Krag, 8x57, 7.62x39, 7.62x54R, 8x 56R, 30 Carbine, 450/577 Martini, 300 Win Mag, 45 LC.
Fiddled with a new Lyman multi tool from Midway. Removed the crimp from a couple of cases and clean the pockets.

Sorted through by manufacturer about 1000 .44 special cases and sized them.
I have the same tool, works great.
Mounted my new Lee Auto indexing press to the bench. Ran some 45 ACP and 45 Colt cases through the wet rotary tumbler.
Finished cutting down a batch of .223/5.56 brass, which are destined to become .300 Blackout cases.

Cleaned, trimmed to length, and chamfered inside and out a batch of .223/5.56 cases. Processing some 7.62X39 brass.
Finally decided to break in my new Lee Turret press. Loaded up 100 .44 specials, sorted through some more brass for further processing. Separated out some 7.62X39 cases by manufacturer.
Spent some time on the unloading bench today, tested some loads for the Grendel and got some much needed group therapy.
Scored about 30lbs of mixed brass while I was there, looks like common pistol brass, so once I get it sorted I'll update my trades.
Shot a roughly half inch group at 100y with one of my test sets for the Grendel, then landed a first shot hit on the military silhouette at 300y. I definitely like the Grendel so far.
