    Expansion Industries Primer Plant

    A distributor who made some of the initial investments has some for evaluation. The most recent video isn't bogus. That said, 'a few' vs volume production can be a big step.

    Hunh? What is bad math?

    Expansion Industries Primer Plant

    Lucas said 30-60 days - 1-2 months, not 2-3. You can find the vendor if you do a google search 'expansion industries primers'. Because the person at the vendor replied to my email and because they are relying on getting primers from Expansion [I'm guessing they provided some funding], I'm...

    Expansion Industries Primer Plant

    I emailed an online vendor that advertises Expansion Industries primers. They are said they toured the facility and expect there won't be any primers until the Spring of 2023. I contacted the vendor after receiving an email from Lucas Smissen in mid August. He was replying to an email inquiry...

    Expansion Industries Primer Plant

    How do you know they aren't doing this? As for additional capacity - that's a completely different decision that involves chunking down a bunch of cash. If, as in all the past peak demand cycles, demand recedes, the entity who chunked down the cash is left holding the bag.

    My take also was the $100M was what spent by someone else previously. FYI. Here's google maps satellite pic of their site...

    Dillon powder dispenser

    I'd like to second Maj Dad's point. I shoot Highpower and go through 4-5 thousand rounds a year. For the 'short range' - 200 and 300 yard stages - I just use the Dillion measure as is. For the 600 yard stage, which also has the highest accuracy requirements, I simply use the Dillion but...

    Dillon powder dispenser

    What is the accuracy with the Quick Measure with stick powders? E.g., Varget or RL 15.

    Hornady 223 80gr AMax

    Does anyone have experience using these in a 1:8 twist barrel [26 inches]. Hornady says they take a min 1:7.7. At the same time I've seen several posts that say 1:8 works great. Thanks

    AR 15 locking lug wear/accuracy

    Thank you all for responding. If I've got it right, a net is that normal bolt wear does not affect accuracy.

    AR 15 locking lug wear/accuracy

    Thanks. Can you say why?

    AR 15 locking lug wear/accuracy

    Is there any effect of wear on the locking lugs on the bolt on the accuracy of an AR 15 when a new match grade barrel is installed? That is, the idea is that, since the bolt will experience some wear, when putting a new barrel and barrel extension, the worn bolt will not fit as well in the...

    223 75 gr Hornady

    I've loaded over 15,000 rounds of Hornady 75gr HPBT with 23.0 to 23.5 of 2460. Thru a match barrel, the 23.0 gr is about .5 " at 100 yards. The 23.5 was about .75". 2460 meters very consistently through a Dillon powder measure. Out of 25 throws, on 2-3 throws were off by .1grain. The rest...

    Do you decap before you tumble your cases?

    OK. For rifle, I tumble in dry media to get the cases, including the necks, clean. Resize [which includes deprime]. Then tumble again [in 20/40 corn cob - no pieces in flash holes]. FWIW, I also haven't found any functional value in cleaning the primer pockets
