    Rem700 follower

    I think its called a follower, the piece of cast/milled alumn that pushes up the rounds in the built-in mag. Anyways, I am unable to load 5 rounds into rifle and was told that there are two tabs underneath the follower that I can trim down/off to allow me fully load the magazine. Is this...

    Trying a new powder....

    Most people seem to use Fed primers, which I see no reason not to except that I have nearly 900 CCI BR2 primers that I would like to use up before buying a new primer. thanks for the reply, drake

    Having trouble with Reloads in my Savage 10FP

    I am going to assume that the brass was not fired in that rifle, since its a new rifle with once fired brass. How did you prep your brass? Did you bump the shoulders back any? Check OAL? Did you use a Body sizer or even a Full Length Sizer? Take a gauge and measure, I bet you reloads are...

    Trying a new powder....

    I am going to try out some RL-15 powder after discovering that my load recipe seem to varied with Varget powder between different lot #'s (tried atleast three) by as much as 1.8 gr. I was wondering if I could use my BR2 primers without ill effects, seems most people don't use BR2 primers with...

    installing body die

    Steve I do have the bushing installed, and what you said does make sense now... now on the decapping stem there are two different 'tips' that came with it.. a silver and a black one... both screw on over where the pin goes ... black one came installed by default... whats the difference...

    installing body die

    got that part done, what about setting up the decapping pin part? noticed that i can extend the 'arm' inside the body die (has a locking nut) and another screw/lock nut ontop of the die drake

    installing body die

    I have a redding type-s body die and kinda baffled on how to install it.. Can someone give me a quick run down on how to do this? I already cleaned the inside of the die as per the piece of paper in the box it came in, but it doesn't really explain how to physically install it nor does the...

    Tumbler Media life expectancy?

    the chemicals that normally embedded into the sheets are normally deposited onto the clothing when used... these same stuff will stick to brass

    Tumbler Media life expectancy?

    RavenVT100 Take used dryer sheets and cut them up in about 2" x 2" squares or so, as most people would prolly suggest . . . I typically just been cutting them up in 1/6th and toss them in and remove after a load of brass tumbling.. then put a new set in for the next load drake

    How can you tell machinegun brass?

    this particular line doesn't look like anything that being stripped out of the strips would cause... atleast from what I have seen while I operated some MG. I'll try to get a pic, prolly not till monday or so. drake

    Recycling Crushed Walnut media

    heh perhaps it would be, perhaps not.... 5 gallon bucket worth (perhaps 2.5 gallon worth with cleaning solution in the rest) aggitating ever so often... then spread on cookie sheets and bake/warm till dried ... making sure you don't use flammables, in that case lay thin and let it sun dry or...
