Another vote for the co-ax press. My favorite by far.

I offer a buck or two to a local kid whose eyes are sharper and back is more limber than mine to pick it up for me. I always remind him to wash his hands after he's done. I sit in the shade and...

I use sections for 2x10 lumber with 4 holes to anchor them to my bench and whatever holes or studs are need to attach the tool. I used a template to make sure the holes in all the plates and the...
I'd be interested in it for a reasonable price, PM me if you are interested.
Unfortunately I have done that several times, but I usually keep things "need to know" when it comes to my bad decisions.

I can easily empty a 20 pound pot in less than an hour with a four cavity mould, if that helps.

I am probably local. Would you mind PMing me with the location of the LGS?
As mentioned bobbing the hammer can up the chances of getting a light strike. I had a snub nose revolver tuned by a VERY talented smith, who I recently realized posts here occasionally, and he bobed...

My first conversion was 223 to 7TCU, it is hard to believe but that was almost 30 years ago... I am clearly going to run out of time before I run out of projects.

I was fortunate enough to get a great deal on a real 6.5 rm forming die recently. If you can get access to one they are the way to go. I lightly anneal the neck and shoulder of the small batches of...

I want to switch my cutters to carbide... does anyone know the technical description of the end mill that the various WFT use. My understanding is that they have 3 sizes of WFTs although I don't...

I appreciate the input
I already have and love a 300blk in an ar-15 and have a bolt gun to shoot CBs so I agree with those comments. I have a lot of experience with tuning ar gas systems and...

I might have to get a copy of the book mentioned above if it tells how to resharpen reamers.
I recently called a major reamer manufacturer who generally has a good repuation about resharpening one...

Anyone know where in the US to get a front barrel band / bayonet mount and mid barrel band for a ross rifle? They do not have to be original, reproductions would be ok.

I am suprised that you are having difficulty, I do what you are describing with a lyman sizer and can get it done easily. Possibly your lucky enough to have a really hard WW. Try mixing some pure...

I have a supply of .358ish HBWCs inbound and have some questions:

I am going to have to back out of this one. After a lot of research. I think I need a different barrel rather than a heavier mold.
Best of luck with the group buy, hopefully we can do business...

What would the price be for a 16 cavity?
Forum: Group Buy Archives
Will this "fit" a 223 chamber (not 556) if sized to 225 or 226?
Is the estimated weight of 75 gr just the boolit or does that weight include the gas check and the lube?
What is the typical...
