That's a cool little piece of information I'll need to remember!

I use Squirrledaddy's chop saw jig for cutting 223 brass for 300blk. It's a quality product.

That was a perfect explanation! Even I understood it and I can be a bit "thick" sometimes.

Serious!! I'm an idiot. I've never pursued out of stock brass at Starline. I just "ass-u-me" it takes months to get on the list! Again, I'm an idiot.

Humm, just as an aside from my original post, RCBS does NOT make tungsten/ carbide dies as I was told by the idiot at the gun shop! Apparently T/C stands for Taper Crimp!!...

Thanks for the advice and feedback. Looks like the Lyman expander won't fit the Hornady but will fit the RCBS if I go that route. The Redding might fit though. I'll probably go ahead and buy the...

Anybody use these? I messed up the sizer button on my Hornady die in 223 so went shopping for parts or a new die. I see RCBS makes a carbide/tungsten die set for the 223. I love using carbide on...

Seems like an excellent hack on annealing. Don't forget to take a look at his second video on the same subject.

Ahh, nice! An excellent use for my old Lee bottom pour. Seemingly simple concept I just never thought of. Thanks!

I've never thought of other ladels before. I've only used a Lyman. I did try a Lee bottom pour. Hated it. Have considered building a bigger one when pouring multiple cavity 45 cal moulds. Didn't even...

All super cool stuff! Just wish I had a nice place to display such things. Most of my "nice" stuff is packed away or lying in the bottom of a drawer [emoji849]

Wow! Obviously most of you guys are far more squared away than me. My ingots are pretty much different sizes so weighing them is out. I do notice some color difference so I think I'll start there...

Many years ago I had a buddy with a radiator shop who used to give me his scrap solder. He never reused it. I cast it up into 2lb Lyman ingots, the same as my wheel weights. I marked them with a felt...

You shouldn't have any problem developing a reliable load with the components you're talking about. I've found some cast designs without much of a oglive can be problematic in the 300. Most of my...

Take a look at "rockrat" November 30 2014.

I haven't actually tried to heat treat grade 8 bolt material but I do have a future project that may benefit from this information. The little bit of research I have done tells me it needs to be oil...

Tools, yes. Skills, ??

So, if I'm reading correctly, you are basically making a bottle neck case thru the neck turning process. That's some seriously thick brass! I also assume it headspaces off the shoulder. This should...

Just as an aside, part of my project will include cutting my own molds. I don't for see this happening until deep winter though. I need to build some tooling for my lathe to accomplish the ogive...

Hmm, I know I went down the entire "whisper" rabbit hole at Wikipedia and there was little if any info on the 510 or the 458. But I have to admit it has been a while. Thanks.

Search "long unsupported ogive" on this sight. It didn't really answer my questions but it may give you a few clues. Overall, spitzer designs in the cast bullet world seem to be looked down apon. I...

Wow, hope you get some answers you are looking for. I will not be of any help but I am very interested in your project. There is very little info on the .net about the 510 whisper and I happen to be...

Wow! Just wanted to comment on the amount of experience and brain power on this board never ceases to amaze me. I have a Mauser that is torn down at the moment for a project and will have to now look...

Wow! Never knew it even existed. Will be picking one up soon. I can think of dozens of times I wished I had one.

Just one more negative on using a drill press for milling, it is hell on end mills. I trashed carbide on aluminum with mine before buying a small Grizzly mill. You can do a lot more on a "cheap" mill...
