This. By far the easiest way to perform a complete strip of rattle can paint (paint bubbles up and just comes right off with wiping or brushing) without harming steel or aluminum.

I ended up springing for a K&M Neck Turner. I purchased the kit with the carbide cutter, steel pilot and expandiron for the .30. Neck thickness measured at .016 - 0.165 for the Argentine Brass and I turned the necks down to just a shade over 0.013. Test bullets were seated and the round...

I ended up purchasing some PPU Brass because that seemed to be the cheapest route. Unfortunately once the oversized bullets were seated in the PPU Brass, the bullets expanded the necks to the point where they would no longer chamber. Looks like I'm left with either trying smaller bullets or...

I've recently turned to neck turning as a means of resolving a problem I have with chambering reformed brass and have a few questions about the K & M Neck Turners and Expanders: 1. K&M offers carbide cutting pilots, non-carbide cutting pilots and steel pilots. I'm assuming this is the pilot...

Wouldn't it be cheaper to simply buy new brass (I'm assuming the neck turning is necessitated by forming the brass from .270)?

I need some advice on how to approach a problem that I have encountered while reloading for my 7.65x53mm Argentine Mauser. The bore of my rifle slugged at a fairly large 0.3175' so I casted a few bullets using the Lee C324-175-1R (8mm Mauser) and sized them down to 0.319". Using the Lee die...

I recently acquired an 1873 Springfield Trapdoor (.45-70) and fired my first rounds (handloads) through her this past week. The groupings were a lot better than I anticipated. However, upon close inspection of the spent cases, I noticed a series of dents (3 in particular) and scratches that...

Is the focal length acceptable to you and are you able to see the bore sufficiently to ascertain its condition?

There are a couple of limitations that I've read about with these scopes. First the lighting varies from terrible to adequate. Secondly, the focal length is pretty short. You can't see clearly directly in front of the lens. Focus is limited to 2 cm - 4 cm in front of the lens. Third, the...

If you are referring to cases that meet a standard like SAAMI, I'm not sure if any one particular trimmer can accomplish this. Most of the trimmers I've seen fall into two categories: those that trim based on overall case length and those that trim based on the case shoulder. They both work...

I suggest leaving the decapping pin in the resizing die. Aside from having the benefit of clearing media stuck in the primer pocket as previously noted, the pin insures that the case mouth is properly sized and uniform. Case mouths will often deform as a result of striking the extraction port...

I live in a State which limits the magazine capacity of a firearm to 10 rounds. That really puts a crimp on what we can buy and what online retailers are willing to sell to me. Does anyone know of an outfit that will either take possession of a purchased firearm, modify or swap the factory...

Drum Alignment with Chute I recently experienced a similar problem or at least a perceived problem with my auto drum. It started right after I pulled the replaceable quick change powder drum. After reinstalling the quick change drum, a substantial amount of powder leaked from the drum itself...

I get mine from a dentist in my rotary club, an uncle-in-law who is a dentist and my own dentist. It's easier to make ingots out of wheel weights but the lead backing on the x-ray films will do when WW are hard to come by.

If you can't find re-loadable 7.5X55 Swiss brass, you can easily make them out of .284 Winchester brass like I do. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pTBswt1OCHE

If you perceived the deal too good to be true (meaning the price was likely a mistake) and the vendor was not aware of the mistake in his pricing (which is quite common especially in online sales), you will not be allowed to take advantage of that if the matter ever went to court. The usual...

Actually i think I'm adding value to the shell carrier.

Good point. I trimmed it before the last two post and there is an 1/8th of an inch overlap. I'll cut it back some more and round out the edge.

I thought about that option and decided that having an extra round was a better choice concidering how cheap a replacement Hawk forend is if I want to restore it. Considering the availability of better aftermarket products out there, however, this would be unlikely

I recently purchased a pair of Esstac 7-round shotgun cards, the type with the velcro backing, to use with my IAC Hawk 982 12ga shotgun. When mounted, the card covers the entire length of the receiver and interferes with the movement of forend because of the way the forend hand guard is...
