    223/556 Brass Identification

    I didn't see where anyone actually answered your question. You can google cartridge headstamps and find a few list of headstamps.

    Mixing different batches of same powder

    I've done it. I didn't expect any problem and I didn't see any problems. I've mostly done it with the dregs from a nearly empty jug and blending them into a fresh jug. Just double check and check again that the powders are the same! You don't want a costly mistake!

    Building the Perfect Reloading Room

    It looks like a nice clean set-up. I would work in some shelves or cabinets over the table top. Its a good idea to lay out your tools and make a test run before drilling holes. Maybe use some "C Clamps" to hold things down before making them permanent.

    Italian cable car plunges to the ground, killing at least 14

    As a retired Lineman I have rode in the buggies that ride on the wire. We used them to put the spacers on the bundles of wire on our 500KV lines. The wire size was 954MCM if I remember correctly. Also, for some reason the tower numbers were never included in the bundles of tower steel and we...

    A way to correcting galling in necks?

    Yeah, thats the thing I have. I think it came with motor-mica but graphite is probably better.

    A way to correcting galling in necks?

    You can dip the case neck in powdered graphite. Forester, I think, used to make a little gizmo to do this.

    Loaded 300 win mag stuck in sizer die

    I would probably cut the base of the case off even with the end of the die with a hacksaw and get an EZ-Out after it. I've done this before for others. The grease gun trick would work too.

    I saw the light

    Retired Lineman here. Companies can be different but most outdoor lighting is connected on the power companies side of the meter and is billed flat rate. I'm going to say that something else is going on. I would start by looking closely your bill and look for meter reading errors.

    Witts Springs Arkansas? Looking for info

    Like most places, the people of Arkansas can be slow to accept you. It helps if you join in whatever social scene there is. Sign your kids up for sports and attend the games. Even volunteer to help coach. Get active in Church. Join the Volunteer Fire Dept. Take part in any city wide or County...

    5.56 shellacked primer broken decapper pin

    Like the others have said, buy a separate depriming die. The cheapest one, the Lee, is stronger than the RCBS, Lyman and the much better looking one from Sinclair. Often on sale at Midway for $9.99 or $10.99 and order 3 spare pins from Squirrel Daddy for $10.

    Flash Hole Chamfer- is it awesomer?

    I do it to all of my rifle brass including Norma and Lapua. But I don't cut as much as the picture shows. I do it because............... I can't say that it makes my groups tighter or my scores higher. I use a tool from K&M thats non adjustable.

    Help justifying buying an AMP

    I think you can also get VIP access by telling the cashier that you shoot a Creedmoor! ;) I didn't notice much difference with accuracy before I started to anneal and afterward. I bought my annealing machine during the Obama shortages because Winchester's QC dropped so bad that I was getting...

    Any electricians in the house?

    The NEC has a lot of stupid things in it. One of them is the requirement of a neutral at a dead end 3-way switch. And you are correct, it is a fairly new requirement but I don't remember the exact year.

    The verdict doesn't matter, guilty or not guilty, the city is doomed. I hope LE and the NG are locked and loaded.
