I went to the hardware store & paid $6.00 for a 2" bolt today!
I'm experimenting & planning on making a bracket that I can screw into the top of my press for holding various gadgets like priming tools, trimmers, etc. I needed a 7/8"x14 bolt to sacrifice as the screw-in base stub. The only thing I could find at the hardware store was a $6 bolt. It is has a yellowish tint to it & the store clerk pointed out that was because it was a "type 8?" extra strong. Looking at some of the giant regular, weaker similar bolts the cost was no different(?) So I took what he had in the size I needed. Extra hard & strong I don't need! Longer bolts went up to $25 depending on length, but they were only threaded part way up & then went slick. Glad I didn't need a nut, they were $1.50! If there was a gunshow coming up, I'm sure I could have bought a reloading die out of a junk box for a buck or two that would have worked for what I needed.
Anyway, here is my question. Are there any sources of 7/8"x14 bolts of regular steel that can be ordered?
TIA...
