My prayers are with you, Felix, and thank you for all of your help and advice. I give you my promise to adhere to your requests.

I wouldn't have thought it either, but it looks like everyone knows it's a hot topic except me. I don't know why a man can't relate his experiences without others' condescending remarks on his...

It does seem to be a hot topic. I didn't realize that.

Kryogen - since it seems that you already have one on hand, why don't you just try it and see if you like it. It seems to be a matter of...

Try kerosene, or mix up some Ed's Red.

I have to agree with Goodsteel about the brass moulds. I have a couple of 4 cavity 45 caliber brass moulds that need to run hotter than steel or aluminum, or it takes them longer to get to the...

The factory crimp die will swage your 38 bullet down just like it will a 9mm. Roll crimp revolver cartridges, and taper crimp auto-loading handgun cartridges. The factory crimp die creates more...

I already have four presses mounted on my bench, so I did like AZ Pete. I mounted mine on a piece of fir 2x4 and clamp it in the vise when needed. It sure saves space.

I placed an order with Cabela's last night and it wasn't available at that time because I checked. I probably would have ordered it last night with the other stuff. I'll pass for now, though. It's...

That's probably for the absent-minded tinkerer who is liable to forget that he plugged the bore, and then neglects to remove it before the next time he shoots.

I was shooting with a guy who...

I've read quite a few assertions on the internet that aluminum jackets will wear down a barrel, and I think that it started with Richard Lee's book "Modern Reloading". When deciding which material...

Somebody referenced this page last year.

Yes! Yes! Yes! A thousand times yes!

This is the first thing a machinist learns about the lathe, and it is drilled into his head.

If you only learn one thing about the...

For 55 / 62 gr FMJ I use 25 gr of Win 748, which is a ball powder and meters nicely. It seems like 27 grs was a little more accurate in my 183 prefix Mini 14, but 25 gr was more accurate in my AR,...

This may help.

I made a mistake. I just checked my old emails and found the one where I told my buddy about the Eddystone.




It was $350, not $500. I hope I didn't screw up your deal.

Sorry,
Jeff

A buddy bought one out here in California about two years ago, and I think he paid about $500. It came with a bayonet and scabbard, so I thought it was a pretty good deal. I bought one with a cut...

As far as the pink in the annealed area after cleaning, I'm not sure. I know I've had cases turn pink during cleaning experiments, and it's usually a case that is brown with patina that's been...

I don't know if there is a way to test your cases to see if they are too soft. I always try to stick to the guidelines of annealing at 700 - 800 degrees F and if they look similar to Sharfshuetzer's...

Light loads probably won't expand the cases.

Did you read the article in KAF's post? It's got a lot of good information. I now use tempilaq, but I have used the method described in the last two...

Perhaps I was wrong. I'm basing my statement on the fact that I don't see any feed levers on the apron, where I would expect to see them. I see one lever on the apron that I assume is for...

When he describes the actions of his machine-

"With this setup, the neck will actually reach a temperature between 750 and 800 degrees. Remember, it's the combination of time AND temperature that...

It's motor is 1/2 hp. I don't know about your Chinese Mini Lathe, but my harbor freight 7x10 CML has a 3/4 hp motor. I'm no mechanical engineer, and maybe there's some gearing in the Logan that...

I've tried the Hornady commercial cleaner and didn't find it as effective as Simple Green or Dawn and water. I haven't tried Ed's Red, although I wouldn't use the heater if I did. I always end up...

This is close to my 92 cast load. I have a 358242, sized to .357, lubed with Javelina and loaded with Unique. I shoot a lot of FMJ with Unique in it, too. I never had any problems with the gun,...

Once they get it, it will take less than a week. I've always got credit back on my credit card.
