Much appreciated, Gents!!! I'll take a look at the safety situation when I get home tomorrow.
Got it disassembled for a good cleaning that was much needed and then will adjust the trigger back to...

I let temptation get the better of me and purchased a Remington 700 in 22-250 from a buddy. Now I'm trying to clarify some things and figure out exactly what I've got as I clean it up and all.

Are you talking about a vibratory or rotary tumbler?
In the vibratory, I use cob or walnut. If I'm doing brass, I put a squirt of car polish/wax in it. Nothing if I'm polishing parts or what...
Yes, the round ones will fit. At least the ones I have will.
I had a few more issues with the primers getting bound up in the mouth than I do with the triangle one. Not a huge deal, as I have to...
I've got the Lee auto bench primer and love it. I've used the RCBS bench primer, which isn't bad at all, but I prefer the Lee.
The only issue I've had with mine is on occasion you have to rattle...

I've experienced a mix of that. Some are knowledgeable and will recognize the C&R without issue, and some you couldn't convince. If I was in the shop making a face-to-face purchase, I usually just...

I'm similar to you in regards to being a bit OCD about my brass and prep. I likely do things differently than a lot of guys, but here's my method...

They have statistics and information on their website.

I tend to be a bit of a buff when it comes to the history of them. If it was something that wasn't a common war-time, refurbished Mosin I would have a hard time getting rid of it, as they are a bit...

You'll actually find the information in the documents the ATF will send you, but here's the basics. While you have your license, any CR eligible firearm you obtain or "dispose" of must be logged for...

I have been so far. I like to be able to see how much powder is in there and if I need to top off or anything. Plus a bit of me just being particular.

I've not loaded any yet, but have plans to do so for several of my 30-caliber milsurps so the kids can shoot them and I can do some plinking out in the back yard.

I've used it a couple of times, but it's been a while. Good results as far as I can remember.
If you go to their site, most times you can find the part you're looking for so you can give them a...

I've ran into several that had nasty chambers caked up with all kinds of stuff. Cleaning up the chamber and throat may do wonders if it's nasty.
You can also take a bore brush and chuck it in a...

One thing to be very careful of is applying anything to a burn that gets through the skin. I know there are a lot of home remedies and self-treatment things out there, especially for first and light...
I'm looking at recoil springs, actually. I'm figuring on giving Wolff a call to make sure if the springs are the same or different on the 4" vs 5", unless one of you guys happen to know off the top...

There's days I wish I hadn't gotten rid of it, but it went to a good home. I had a Finn-captured/marked M39 I found at Bass Pro of all places. Shot beautifully. I had a guy that had an extensive...

You can find videos on Youtube about chamber casting. It's not an overly complicated process, but I can certainly understand being a visual learner. A couple of videos may get you what you need. ...

You guys got me curious about Missouri's regs. I always thought rimfire or shotgun were required for squirrel and rabbit. Fact is, it's only during firearm deer season that is required.

I tend to be the same way. Been dealing with that kind of thing as I develop my 45 ACP loads and analyzing what I'm seeing.

You might consider doing a chamber cast if you're looking at throat and all. You can get cerrosafe fairly affordably to do it and it's not a complicated process. That will give you your chamber...
