    Depriming Live Primers

    I have decapped many live primers. Also had about 10 CCI primers light off while priming on my Loadmaster. My wife freaked out cause she was in the other room, I didn't even curse or holler about it. I think that's why she freaked out. She thought I dropped a stack of books. After that I...

    so.. i quit reloading.

    I only slowed because I ran out of place to store my ammo. I'm working on that part now.

    Chronograph Question

    I'd say you should retest. Keep your rifle & ammo out of the direct sunlight. The direct sunlight will easily preheat the barrel, especially if it's black. The ammo being in direct sunlight can make it burn hotter & give you higher chamber pressure than if it were in the shade. You mentioned you...

    3,000 Bad rounds?? Don't know.

    Yeah, I have been checked over the years. Still negative for it. I try to think that it because all the strenuous work that I do for a living. I have even been checked for hyperglycemia, but was a negative, of course that was coming off a 3 day weekend too.

    3,000 Bad rounds?? Don't know.

    Man, pay attention to your body. When I get low blood sugar I get the shakes(I don't have diabetes though). If I don't get anything into me then I begin to get a headache. Take care of yourself buddy.

    swage vs ream 223?

    Another for the Dillon SS600. I bought a 1,000 rounds of 9mm. I found that some were crimped. It sucked a lot of time out of using the progressive. I bought the Super swage then swaged the rest of that 9 mm brass & then my 223/5.56 I had laying around. I did the whole cutting thing with my 308...

    AC Broke, Vacation Start Delayed, now what?

    Jmorris, 100$ would be cheap. I would say 180$ or so. Just glad I don't do residential.

    Harbor Freight workbench thoughts

    I have one as well. I don't have it tied in to anything just free standing. I've loaded thousands of rounds on it. I use my rockchucker on it too. It's fine. The drawers do suck though. The lower shelf I had all my dies & accessories for my loadmaster & rockchucker besides the actual presses...

    AR Question

    Just make sure you swage it instead of cutting the primer pocket unless you are extremely careful not to cut too much of the crimp.

    Case Gages/Chamber Checker

    I just use a Dillon case gauge & check the ones that look the worse.

    High Security Gun Safes

    The best safe it the one you don't see at all. It is better to hide in plain sight. If you're being robbed with you home, they will likely threaten you & your family to get it open. If you are willing, you can put forth the effort to make something blend in & it be safe at the same time.

    What is DOT Ammo Packaging?

    I don't know that I would worry that much about it. Chances are that you have propane tanks in your garage right? Other items such as spray paint cans & what not. I do know that I have set 10 primers off while priming some loads, it really wasn't all that loud as I would have expected. Didn't...

    Guessing its my chronograph???

    Bingo. You really have to get to design/laboratoracal (just wanted to say that cause everyone else gets to have fun). I see stuff like this all the time. Different industry but concept is the same. The customer complains to say they are not making design, at non-design conditions. If I'd have a...

    Looking for a deal on a press

    Cabelas is supposedly having the father day promotion. That's how I got almost all my original single stage stuff for rifle. I paid like total of 450$ for about 6-700$ worth of stuff. It might be worth your while if your close enough to Cabelas.

    Thought I was doing everything correctly until the big bang

    Sorry to hear. Hope you make a speedy recovery.

    Scored some local powder and primers

    Guess I'm going to cabelas this weekend. I've been wondering when they were going to start handing out the coupons. That's damn near how I bought all my reloading gear. 100$ at a time. Lol

    What clever little things have you "invented or discovered" that you can share?

    I made my LED setup for my loadmaster with a 3/4" aluminum rod sliced to make a heat sink for it. If the heatsink wasn't there it would rapidly get to 180* plus. I then tied that into my home made case feeder power supply.

    A new way to screw up...

    I use a RCBS lock out die. It's saved my bacon a few times.

    What clever little things have you "invented or discovered" that you can share?

    Reviving an older thread. Now while I didn't invent it or think of it. I didn't want to wait another week to finish swaging 9mm brass. So I took a 4" grade 8 3/8" fine thread bolt & made a carriage for it. Just used a drill & a file. It works really well, I would have gone to our Makerspace to...
