I need one of these so bad... some day Ill be able to afford it. Being a security guard while having a degree in economics is killing me. I need to find a good job.
Let's just stop wearing eye protection too while we're at it! Are you really that dense? He had a bad experience, it caused a fear of something. For peace of mind, he can wear a glove so he knows...
I havent read all the posts, but, instead of switching priming methods over one incident, why not just wear a glove on your hand that holds the priming tool?

Mine is a 1-7 twist, PSA FN barrel. 16". Im thinking of getting a 20" barrel for it though, and a freefloat handguard, because right now I have an A2 front sight post and magpul carbine handguards,...

Well, I totally didnt realize it was a copy of the rcbs mold. I originally wanted that one when I started my testing but didnt want to spend the money. I just ordered the 6cav lee mold. We shall see...

Hey everyone!
So, a year or two ago I was doing some testing with cast powder coated boolits in my ar15. I found an Ideal 225462 57gr mould that cycled the action just fine, but because I didnt have...

Damn. I guess Ill probably use commercial jackets since theyre fairly cheap anyway. At least until I find a good way to make my own out of something cheap.

Another couple questions:
For jackets, do you think I could use 22mag brass for jackets? I could make or buy a derimming die but I dont know if they are too small to make into 6.5 jackets. Are there...

I see now, that makes sense. I might actually be getting a job at the same place now on a 2 axis cnc lathe so I may be able to do some of this myself soon too. Ill definitely start working on some...

You guys are the best. I made it all the way to like page 12 of the swage board at work today without finding what I wanted.
