    When turning necks on cases what's the minimum OD on 30-06?

    Turned some cases and on about every third case I would get a split neck. Is there any spec. on minimum OD? Load was a standard load that worked fine in unturned cases. Thanks, Bexar

    When they say use dryer sheets do they mean new dryer sheets?

    I bought some very fine grind walnut lizard bedding to polish some brass cases and nickle pistol cases to clean the pockets. I'm using an RCBS punch bowl type vibrator cleaner. I've heard to use dryer sheets to hold down the dust. I ASSUME it means use new dryer sheets. How long should I...

    How do you replace the magazine two shot magazine adaptor for a SuperX2?

    My Daughter's Winchester SuperX2 magazine takes 3 three inch shells. I looked at the end of the magazine and I'm not going to assume I know how it "should" come apart. I've got the manual around in a drawer but that's migrated to a "safe spot" somewhere. Any ideas? Thanks...Bexar

    Did all M-1 Garand bolts receive a dimple Rockwell "punch" test?

    I've got three surplus Garand bolts in GI grease paper wrap...two 12SA and one 65 series and none of them have the Rockwell hardness punch. I've heard but can not confirm not all bolts in a given heat treatment were RW tested just a statistical significant amount of a particular heat treatment...

    Best wood stock oil/preservative on military surplus walnut stocks?

    I've got a Garand Walnut stock of my Daughter's Danish CMP Garand and would like to prevent it from drying out or cracking. I've used Liquid Gold; however do y'all have a better suggestion? Can't soak it in anything because it has the Danish stock decal inside the main stock. Thanks...Bexar

    Your thoughts on 165gr Gameking HP loaded to 2400 fps muzzle for hogs and Texas deer.

    Downloading for my Daughter's .308 but still want good expansion with through and through out to about 200 yards on our Great Dane sized Texas deer. Hogs can run about 100 to 300 pounds. Shoulder shots only on both. Thanks...Bexar

    My Daughter has a Glock 17 First Generation...any parts upgrade suggestions?

    I know the Glocks have gone through some internal parts modifications. Any need to upgrade any of the internals? She inherited it so it's the Generation 1 with the stipple grip panels but the waffle backstrap and front strap. The spring is the loose on the guide rod not the retained spring...

    Anybody ever add 0000 steel wool to your vibrator polisher?

    Crumbled up and mixed with the regular media. Seems like it would help polish especially "dirty" brass. If only it did not "polish" a hole into the plastic bowl. Thanks...Bexar

    Is .38 Special+P brass different in make-up than standard pressure .38 Special brass?

    I've got both and wanted to load up a couple of boxes and was wondering if the internals were the same. Thanks...Bexar

    Texas' new "Campus Carry" concerns.

    I am a little concerned about "Campus Carry." The potential for an accidental discharge seems like it would be high. Guns in book bags stuffed in a hurry between classes and/or students showing another student their pistol in a secluded area. Same reason loaded weapons are not allowed at many...

    At what velocity does a Magnus #502 38 caliber wadcutter start leading a barrel?

    I read on here somewhere that low velocities could lead to leading. The box doesn't have a hardness rating it just says hard cast. I inherited the bullets and have never loaded cast lead before. I have 38 special and 357 mag cases to load them in. Thanks...Bexar

    Does high humidity damage or make primers go inert?

    Somehow I had a 1000 primer count box wind up in my bathroom. My Wife may have moved them in there thinking I'd see them since it's the bathroom I use. I remember buying the box about a year ago. Box looks fine but it had somehow gotten behind an ivy planter box. For the life of me I...

    Can't find the COAL for the 38 Special load. This is the flat base...not the hollow base. Unique powder. Working up a load. Thanks...Bexar

    What's a safe resized case shoulder set back for resized .223?

    I was checking some resized military brass, that I had bought many years ago, for headspace and that had been "processed" for re-sizing and primer pocket crimp removal and some of the cases are sized below SAMMI specs. Not all but some. Is there a too far shoulder setback? They will be...
