I've been eyeballing my benchtop to try and figure out some kind of sliders to mount different presses/ accessories to. I came up with an idea, but haven't made one yet. I figured on using bed rails....

Not sure I understand. What is freebore? Is that the throating to the rifling? Or is it that the 223 isn't built as heavy as the 5.56?

My grandson has come into the ownership of an AR-15. Anyhow, what is the difference between the .223 and a 5.56? Someone asked me this the other day and I had no answer. He said he could chamber a...

I like the chrome too. It'd be easier to keep wiped down. I was real impressed with the sandblasting job. I picked up a sandblaster last summer at a yard sale, with the 50# bag of Black Diamond, it...

Wow! That was a small fortune in 1980. I made a primer pin and have that hardened up. I ran a few brass through this one and everything looks good I just need to get my powder hopper put together and...

Thanks Casestuffer, That was a fortune in 1980.

I have the primer tube on this one. On spitting primers back at you, that must be what that set of small holes is for on top of the tube, maybe...

Uh, I guess I better tell you, I'm not the one who bought the one on oooobey. Mine was a surprise that was hiding in a bucket of other goodies that showed up with a few other "dead" presses. I don't...

Hey ujunkin, how much were these in 1980?

I'm having fun with this one. As to the markings on the end of the Lil Dandy powder measure, they ain't there. I pulled it apart tonight looking for the numbers on the end of it. I wondered why it...

Thanks for the info on the tube. I was eyeballing the size and figured I could find something to fit. I screwed up earlier and dropped what was left of the broken primer pin into a coffee can full of...

I'm not sure. Too much pooh accumulates on the benches. I know I have 4 presses bolted down....somewhere in there! It's all the stuff I'm currently tinkering on. Last week it was all clean! But, it...

I received a "new" press last sunday. It's an RCBS Green Machine. It had been hiding in a friend's cellar. Dirty, locked up. I did some cleaning and now have it functional. At first I thought the...

I've been using Titegroup for a while and it seems to be good for 9 and 40, with just about the same amount of powder for both. I'm loading with a 124 gn. tc boolit for 9 and a 180 gn. tc for 40. It...

Just called Hornady today. I needed some parts for a Pro-7 that I'm trying to resurrect. I was needing a rotating pawl that was missing. They were very nice and covered it under warranty! While I was...

I have had Lee stuff since I started loading 20 years ago. For years I carried a Lee hand press to work, in a shoe box, and loaded bullets there. Inexpensive reloading, good product support, how can...

Hi Pressman,
Just got a Multiplex today. Pretty simple press, huh? Also got a Green Machine. The guides are worn out, it's dirty as heck, but it looks like it's all there. On reading a couple of...

Hey! You may not be able to gas check them, but you can paper patch 'em. [smilie=s:

Hi Guys,
I received a bunch of old rusty presses from a buddy today. They had been languishing in his cellar for several years. He described them as scrap metal. Amongst the presses was a...

If the range is properly designed, you shouldn't get a ricochet back. Of course, the guy that took his muffs off with the 50 cal. obviously didn't have a properly designed range.
Every so often, my...

Hmmm... What was that about removing doubt?? I just now looked at this. I'm obviously doing it all wrong. And, 303guy is right, My eyes were glazing a bit! If I get ambitious enough to try it, and...

Ok, you guys are talking about patching for a rifle. I'm loading some pistol loads and thought I'd try paper patching them. Are you wrapping these the same way? Or, with the case neck flared, placing...

I heard one today. I can understand a 20 ga. built on a 12 gauge receiver, but things started to smell funny when he said it would feed and fire both, out of the same barrel. And you could stagger...

As Achmed, the dead terrorist says " You Racist ********".

Don't chew your nitro pills either. It'll blow your jaw off. (Do not tell little old ladies that are having an MI this. Don't ask how I know).

Gotta get into this action. Yep, I know that guy too. Hopefully you won't think I'm one after this. I have actually met a few people along the way that had some impressive, and verifiable, stories. ...
