    I used to know things like that but have forgotten. Three marks.

    You already know this of course. but for the record and help of youngsters. Be polite and respectful and you'll receive like treatment in kind. You get back what you put forth. That is simple phyc 101. I learned that after paying my daughters way through college to her Phyc doctorate. Didn't cost me much. You all get it for free. That and my ex wife worked 19 years in customer service at a phone company.

    Wow, I took mine apart tonight and it does have more wear than I thought. Not horrible but noticeable.

    I wonder if a small brass wear pad glue on the bolt head would help?
    You will learn far more at the casting, loading, and shooting bench than you ever will at a computer bench.

    I just ran through about 2,000 lyman 429421 boolits and wear scar is about the same with no metal pushed into the link area.
    Looks like as more contact is made with the bolt and the laod is spread out the scaring is staying the same.
