The lime-shine (citric acid) is dependent on the Ph of the water. When I was on well water it only need 1/2 tsp, now on county water requires 1+tsp. I use the wash and wax over dawn. The automotive soaps with wax leaves a protective barrier to slow down the tarnish process. And provide some...
I use the Hornady LNL-AP Swager setup when needed. I also have the Reading, RCBS, Hornady hand reamers too. But prefer the swagging method since it does not remove brass, just moves it back to where it was originally, or close anyway. But if you decide to swage vs ream it's best to have your...
That bring back memories from 60 yrs ago. There use to be a park near where I lived that was setup for the high speed line planes, pole to keep you from wondering in circles. The lake I fish at now has a place where the radio control planes fly at. Some of those planes cost more than my cars...
Those snap on/off controller have a min of 25F dead band. I've seen some as high as 100F at time. I had one that would stick on startup and over shoot 250F. I normally wire in a cheap PID controller and be done. No more problems. I powder coat my fishing jigs. The way I do it is I hold onto the...
When I first got into shooting my AR15 223R (1:9 and 1:10 twist) I tried both SMK in BT (52gr) & FB (53gr). Worked up a load for each and the BT gave me better accuracy from 100-300 yrds.
My reloading benches is inside my climate controlled shop where my mill and lathe sits. They get covered up with anything and everything depending on what I'm working on. So as to hobbies they are used for is gunsmithing ( barrel and receiver work, cleaning), fishing equipment repair, lawn &...
Good move on your part @GunnyUSMC 👍 👍 . I hope your friend gets moving better, it can be a long recovery. It took my dad 6+ mo to get back to do doing things. Then he was fighting over medication that was causing all kind of problems. Till they got that straighten out he had no energy to do...
When I made my powder storage cabinet I made the shelving so I could store the large 8# jugs on the lower shelf. I can actually put the full 2x8# case in without removing the jugs. Have most all the 1# on a upper shelf. I have several empty 8# jugs laying around but I end up relabeling the 1#...
Did not do any painting but did remodel the master bath. repair grout in the hall bath. Then one time I had to repair his brush shredder. He had hit a stump and caved in the whole front end in. Cut out the old replaced with some 1/4"wall 2x2" steel tubing so he would not bend it again. Would...
That's Berry's suggested MAX Speed.
I would not want to be one loaded to 1250fps, that would be bad news on a std 1911. Even tough on one that's been highly modified to take the higher load.
Does the round fit the chamber?
It almost looks like the sizing die stopped short. A photo of a sized case would be easier to see.
Does sized brass fit your chamber?
Have you checked your brass length?
Is that nick raised? So the face is not smooth? If so I would be concerned about it forcing the round out of axis. Hitting the brass before it's fully chambered.
I've cut quite a few chambers and never have I've seen that kind of damage. The only way it cam happen is being very sloppy when...
I normally find that All Starline brass comes in at Trim Length. This is bad for straight wall brass which get shorter when fired vs stretching like bottle neck brass. Which I do not like since I like to true up the mouths so they are square and trim to my desired length. Now I have some 224V...
There were several production years where the steel was not as strong as it should have been on the cross pins. I had to replace the one on mine several decades ago. Browning wanted as much to do repair the gun as it was worth at the time. Lee Gun Parts use to carry these pins that were removed...
First do a cut down the center with a std endmill smaller than the slot.This will take the bulk of the load off the cutter. I run my at 600 rpm but I'm working on SS which is a little tougher.
