    Ammo prices vary

    I went to a Gun Shop the other day to buy some 7X57 ie Mauser7mm ammo. They had 139 gn SP.

    damaged primer pocket

    Last night I was neck sizing and depriming some 223 once used Winchester cases and I ended up with damaged primer pockets on some of them. I didn't notice anything different while doing the job but I'm checking everything. The primers wont enter or seat when using my RCBS priming tool. Any ideas?

    Chrony F1

    This may not be the right place for this but here goes. I'm looking for a circuit diagram of a Chrony F1 so that I can download results to a laptop. The Chrony F1 has a printer output I believe so this leads me to think it has a ASCI output. Circuit diagram anyone?
