Dexron VI ATF. I keep it on the cleaning bench in an old rem-oil bottle. I use it everywhere that I used to use Rem-oil, which is just something like 99% straight mineral oil.

Well, my woodburner was starting to look a bit scruffy, so I decided to give it a coat of paint. I used a high temp paint designed for woodstoves, "Meeco's Red Devil 1200° Stove Paint". I planned...

XP can probably be given a tuneup and run faster for a while. The stuff Gary posted is a good place to start. Also be sure to run disk cleanup and disk defragment. XP is well past it's life...

I'm sure my newb questions have been answered here many times before, but after spending a bunch of time with the search feature, I'm still coming up short on answers.

Any idea what alloy the check material is? It makes a difference. Typical annealing instructions for some alloys I looked at say "Anneal at 775°F for 3 hours and use controlled cooling at rate of...
OK, I knew that CUP was registering too low, but was thinking of instantaneous measurement at peak pressure with CUP, vs. pressure(Δt) with the transducer. The other way around makes more sense if...
When did the copper-crusher method of measuring pressure fall out of general use? My understanding was that data got changed because modern internal ballistics test gear measures total pressure, but...

Just eliminate the poll abuser(s). Problem solved.

I'll add 12 grains of Unique. Very accurate, relatively low velocity, but with a higher pressure peak than my other favorite, 32 grains of 3031.

Kubota 18 hp Diesel BX series. This thing is a real workhorse, doesn't cost much more than a comparable size 'lawn tractor', and has ten times the build quality.
Muzzle brakes are loud. Anything that directs combustion gasses back towards you is gonna be. Are you shooting a caliber that actually needs a brake? Would a good flash hider be more appropriate?...

Heck of a deal. I spent $15 for a 15/16" end wrench recently.

If you buy a new one, the brand really doesn't matter. They're all engineered to last about 6 years. Just get the cheapest one the SO won't object to clashing with the décor.
