I know that's its not logical, but it has worked for me every time so far. Guess I have to make a video.
BTW: I just got through doing 12 full drum tumbles.

I can't do without my Franford Arsenal Rotary Tumbler (F.A.R.T.) But sometimes the lid leaks despite my tightening the caps with Herculean strength using a F.A.R.T. wrench! So I tried something new....

Are any suppliers providing free ship/hazmat on 5K orders?
Forum: Hunting with CB's
I use #7-1/2 shot in my 12 ga but don't use it much anymore for doves. I prefer to hunt doves with my 1100 .410 with 3" shells & 1/2oz or 5/8oz of #6 shot. I find that I get a lot less cripples to...

With the help of the detailed schematic, graciously sent to me by Rich/WIS, I think I have determined the problem. Two tiny parts are totally missing called the "carrier dog follower & spring". I...

Best BBQ brisket in Austin is Franklin's. The only one that does it better is me, but it takes 12 hours & it's not for sale! :bigsmyl2:

I need to put together a couple dummy shells to test with. Soaking the trigger group seems like an easy thing to try.

My wife’s uncle, who passed away 25 years back, gave me this Remington shotgun to fix for him. I had a reputation in the family back then of tinkering with stuff. Supposedly a fella had...

The picture I'm showing is for a .256 Win Mag of which I get plenty of split necks with old cases. LOL
You can set your die up to just barely size the start of the case neck to create a "slip-case"....

I know about the Hornady gadget using special cases, but I usually use the simple "rod method" to find the zero touch length for a given bullet. But I thought I'd try a new method I've been reading...
Forum: Reloading Equipment
Yep, the MEC mount is the way to go. I imagine the Inline-Fab stand would work too. Note that the primer catch pan will bounce a primer out every so often when it is empty. I padded the inside bottom...

Mighty Armory de-priming die solved my problems & frustrations with decapping pins. If the case didn't have a flash-hole it'd make one!
I've noticed that on almost all used scopes sales ads the seller claims "slight ring marks". I've had some scope rings come with tape but I don't know if that really ever eliminated the scratches. Is...
Hey Texas-by-God, are you checking these out with your glasses on? Perhaps what ya have there is a set of them there fancy Conetrol rings! [smilie=l:

I used my table-top drill press to D&T my Martini barrel for a TC-Contender base. I rented the jig from 4D. Unless you intend to do a bunch, rent is my recommendation. Be sure you have the right...

Forum: Reloading Equipment
If you load shorter cartridges you may find that the die manufacturer still uses full length die stems. These stick up high enough to be the cause of an accident. If you reach over behind your press...
Just buy new ones. That's what I do with everything else I can't find. They'll turn up eventually.....

What about a .357 Maximum? Lottsa punch. And If memory serves me, I think that you could shoot .38's & .357 mag's for plinking.
Forum: Reloading Equipment
I don't know, maybe I'm the only old guy that still uses one of these. Any way, is there some source for just the new pads (or material to cut your own)? Seems like my very first one was a metal tin...
Forum: Factory & Surplus Powder
I agree that assuming your own reloading data is risky business. The old rule of cut back 10% & work-back-up holds forever true. Everyone be safe!!
