    PISTOL BRACE

    While they are at it, let's hear it for silencers! No more stamp requirements for cans!

    8.6 Blk reloading info

    About the time all of us crazies have figured this out, Starline, Hornady or Lapua will come out with brass for it...

    PISTOL BRACE

    Sounds like the tactic by the government is for the gun owners to run out of time on the grace period waiting for a court decision, making their guns illegal unless they pay the full price for a stamp...

    8.6 Blk reloading info

    Check your bump you may have to turn your die down a little more. If it is OK, stick the case in the Sheridan upside down. It should slide in quite a ways. If it doesn't you've probably got a ding or burr somewhere on the case head. When I come across one of them, I turn the case head...

    PISTOL BRACE

    Glowie, also known as a *Glown*****, is a slang term popular on 4chan's /pol/ board used in reference to CIA or other governmental agents posing as ordinary 4chan users in order to bait others into sharing incriminating information. It is also used to call out potential bait posts made by agents...

    Magnetospeed problems?

    Wiping with Simple Green, then water should work, but I haven't tried it. I use it for 5.7X28 cases in an ultrasonic cleaner and it works very well on them.

    Alpha Dasher brass case lip "oversized"?

    I use Lyman in an ultrasonic instead of tumbling to remove lube. I don't have to worry about junk in the primer pockets or inside the case.

    starting 6.5 Creemoor reloading and have several questions

    My comparator came in today. On my 8.6 Blk, without changing any of my press settings, I am bumping .0016 for my gas gun. This passes the drop in/fall out test on the Sheridan gauge, and the cut-away opening in the gauge shows my shoulder and neck align perfectly with the gauge. I have had no...

    New barrel, used/sized brass won’t chamber help

    Good Rule - always modify the cheapest part!

    300 Blackout cases

    I found the RCBS unit that goes on the press like a die works really well, I think because of better leverage.

    Brass Resizing Dillema

    I realize the Sheridan case gauge is not for everyone. I use it because I know if a case passes, the round will smoothly load and eject from any gun I put it in, and I can check several in the time it takes to set up and check one using the Hornady tool. Go-No Go - if it drops in and drops...

    Thanks! I've got about a dozen YouTube videos to watch! I'm currently storing brass deprimed and cleaned, but not sized. Most bins are full.

    Suggestion for someone just starting with reloading

    A turret press (I use RCBS) is handy for loading multiple calibers. Leave the dies all set up and just swap turret plates.

    starting 6.5 Creemoor reloading and have several questions

    THANK YOU! NOW I can start to understand what the fuss is about! Has anyone ever spoken to RCBS about this? As far as luck - Actually, I grew up in Minnesota, and moved to Texas in 1965. I went back home for reunions last year and two years before that. We stayed at the Prarie Band Casino...

    starting 6.5 Creemoor reloading and have several questions

    Yes. IMO, Initially, a lot of time was spent telling me I was doing it wrong if I wasn't measuring it with a gauge. That did put me on defense, considering what I was doing had been working just fine to cover my needs. Next, I felt like I was being attacked, for which the normal response...

    starting 6.5 Creemoor reloading and have several questions

    Thank You. Pity someone hadn't approached it from that direction initially. I have the Speer, Hornady, Nosler books, but I must admit I used them mostly for trim specs and load data Handloader Magazine has never said a lot about it. Since my rounds were accurate, not stressed, and brass was...

    Then I guess it was worth it to raise mine, if you say so.

    I get what your are saying. Pity you couldn't have said it better before. I even tried Google and didn't get much good info either. I take pride in spreading what knowledge I have without trying to make the person look like a fool by asking the same question over and over without...

    Out of curiosity, just what positive result did you hope to accomplish with this?
