Kansas sends out renewal notices.
Filled mine out, notarized and sent off last week!
Forum: Our Town
Thank you for that!
Like others here, that stirred up some fond old memories! Haven't been to a hog killin' for over 50 years.
I feel sorry for the city folk who never got to experience such things!

Yup.
Extractor cut. Mine has the exact same thing.

The usual reason the case ducks down is that the cartridge stack is tight at the shoulder area. 308 and "x57 cases have different body tapers. Make yourself a stack of dummies, super glue them...

Sorry, I don't have any first hand knowledge of these presses. I do like the way the press is built. It should minimize the press flexing under heavy loads.

Sights were made by a German co. Recknagel. I believe they still make them.
High quality sights. NECG carries some Recknagel sights. Expensive stuff!

The pro bed is thick and probably not good for crack repair. I use it for bedding the action and barrel and it works very well for that. It's not extremely hard like other bedding products. Almost...

I had mine replaced Dec.13 2019 (that was a friday BTW!) I wasn't able to get the TAVR and had to go with open heart surgery. I had the ONYX mechanical valve installed and all seems well. I do have...

Another plug for Doug!
Mine is a Redhawk 44 mag. that he straightened out. I can now shoot an honest 6" group at 100 yards with it. All chamber throats are identical.
He also throated my 1911. It...

Grandad would use a 16 oz. ball peen to sedate them and then get them in the air to stick their throat. He didn't want to ruin the Suiss or head cheese with a lead bullet!

In your pics the striker appears to be in the fired position. Are you positive that the bolt is cocked and the safety still won't work?

If your backing your charge down because of primer flow (excess pressure), your problem is not a light charge unless your using a powder that does not like to be downloaded. I am not at all familiar...

Unless you just like fiddling with that kind of stuff, you should contact member Casting Machine and use the money to purchase processed brass instead of tools. I have the HF saw and jig which work...

Hindsight being 20/20, I would skip the pin gauges and simply send the cylinder to DougGuy. It will return to you with six round, properly sized, and polished chamber throats in pretty short order...
I tell my wife that it keeps me out of the bar and from chasing wild women.

As the lead in your pot is depleted there is less to keep hot. You have it set for melting a full pot of alloy. When the alloy gets to, let's say, half of a pot you still have the same amount of heat...

OP didn't specify if it was fired 300 BLK or freshly processed.
