    Homemade Induction Annealer

    Sounds like that might be true - like it's probably way too soft, from the sound of it. It helps to keep the Tempilaq aligned on the case so you can actually watch it change during the process, too. You can always hit the "stop" button when things change, note that time and use it as your...

    Homemade Induction Annealer

    Depends on the caliber and brand of brass - and the lighting level in your room. I use Tempilaq 750 to determine a starting point, and then the pin gage process detailed earlier in the thread to dial in my anneal time. Absent some kind of AMP Aztec mode analysis, that seems to be the best way to...

    There's a match this Saturday out at Reveille Peak Ranch near Burnet - you should come out!

    Rifle Scopes Optics Planet SUCKS

    That's because the cheap shipping is "UPS Mail Innovations" - which means UPS gets it close, and hands it off to USPS. Invariably, it seems like one of the two fucks up the handoff, and then they both shrug their shoulders. The package is eventually found and delivered, but the delivery times...

    147 / 4451 / CCI450 / Lapua

    My thoughts are... I was around 43.5 before I saw pressure problems with that combo in a Stiller action with an 8 twist Bartlein 24" barrel - running somewhere in the 2750 neighborhood (would have to double check my notes to be sure...)

    Rifle Scopes Razor Gen 3 line?

    I've been known to drink some coffee... but really, in my case, the issue is that there's really no tactile feedback, so I can't feel the thing start to turn at all. It'll be interesting to see what a new zero-ing system looks like, though - but to be clear, I don't think it's hard on either of...

    Rifle Scopes Razor Gen 3 line?

    If my AMG (and the other Gen IIs I've helped folks with) adjusted like my new Gen II, it wouldn't be a weak point. Very easy to adjust zero on the new scope following Vortex's procedure. It's as easy as anything else, anything. Modifying the procedure (per my earlier post) also made it very easy...

    Rifle Scopes Razor Gen 3 line?

    Until the erector turns SO easily that it makes it nearly impossible to adjust accurately (unless, maybe, you have a surgeon's control over your screwdriver). Plenty of reports of people having this issue. I've had several people try to adjust my AMG via Vortex's instructions - just to show them...

    Rifle Scopes Razor Gen 3 line?

    What's interesting is... I just got in a brand new Gen II... and it works exactly as you describe. Can't use my technique on this scope, but could on earlier ones. The tradeoff is - they seem to have increased the resistance on the erector such that I can reliably adjust the erector directly...

    Suppressors Ultra 7 10.5oz Heavy after 28k rounds of 6.5 CM

    I realized my error - I weighed it with an Area419 adapter in the can (cause that's how I'll likely weigh it later)... 11oz makes more sense, now...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns ATF Seeks to Restrict Arm Braces

    Maybe you’re just dense, so I’ll speak fucking slow so you can understand. The MONEY isn’t the issue. The WAIT isn’t the issue, either. The fact that the fucking government knows that you have the SBR and can do whatever they fucking want to with that information IS THE ISSUE for a bunch of...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns ATF Seeks to Restrict Arm Braces

    I don't know that it's that - it might just be to avoid the paperwork. If one gets an 80% lower, builds it as a pistol, and puts a short barrel on it, you now have what would otherwise be a tax stamped and 4473'd SBR (effectively) without any ATF red tape. $200 and a 1 month wait are trivial...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Favorite Appendix Carry Holster?

    Keepers Concealment "The Keeper". Haven't tried anything else for appendix, yet, but this one is great (and has been copied by some other holster makers...)

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Competition Pistol thread

    Yeah, I was in Santa Cruz for about six years. Worked out great for us financially, but Jesus, I will not go back to Commiefornia... LOL Back in Austin, TX, now! I'm a little concerned I'll like Poverty Open... then I have to buy 9mm dies, and all the stuff to set it up on the 1050... and then...

    Cause it's easy to believe that you're all that and a bag of chips if you never get tested <shrug> I'm getting an RDS put on my carry gun shortly (M&P 9 w/ Apex barrel and trigger kit in it). Thinking I might shoot some CO with it for giggles - pick up a couple basepads for max capacity. My...

    Homemade Induction Annealer

    For what it's worth, I just built my case out of wood. But like Bradv86 mentions, wood or plastic around the general area instead of metal should alleviate most or all of that issue. Edit to add - also, I added heat sinks to the bottom of my induction board, under the capacitors (looks like you...
