Anybody know where I can get a cutter blade for RCBS rotary case trimmer 2? Thanks
I have a RCBS case trimmer with extremely dull cutter that I want to replace. The RCBS website does not list any parts for it. Does anyone know of a replacement cutter blade that will work? Thanks

I'm in the same boat as you. A scope is the only way that I can see to shoot because I can't see the sights. If it works for you then it is your gun and your fun no matter how it looks. You will...

I know that aqua fortis does wonders for curly maple stocks to bring the grain out but will it do the same for a T/C walnut stock?
I want to start loading this bullet for my SKS but Lee does not make a top punch for it. Does anyone know what top punch would be the proper one to use?
Thanks
I have found tons of load info for a 170gr bullet but hardly none for the Lee 309-113f in a 30-06. I'm looking for something in the 1000-1800 fps range. I have on hand powder in Titegroup; Bullseye;...

What top-punch would you use with that bullet? Lee doesn't make any top-punches so I guess you would have to guess which to use from Lyman or RCBS.

Be careful with Hydrogen Peroxide; it can cause flash rusting in the bore and the bore needs to be oiled immediately after use. Also heard taht it can harm the blueing.
