    Tell me about it! I've got a lift for my motorcycle and most days it's just another table full of stuff in my shop. When I need it I have to figure out where to put all the stuff on it temporarily.

    Surprised your getting that much stretch with a bolt gun, especially with LC brass, it's normally hard and thick. I wonder if there is something off about your chamber, or it needs polishing? ...

    What are you shooting them in, a bolt gun or gas? Gas guns like the M14 are harder on brass due to the violence of the extraction. Looks like normal wear and tear to me. I know most people...
