seating stem not sure if its been said yet I read through quickly but on my lee dies 1 revolution of the seating stem is 0.0565. For some reason I have this divided into 16ths to .0035. Then I have a spreadsheet that I can type in the desired length and what the actually have. It then tells...

Interested Id be interested if anyone had any info also. My concern would be any data would be specific to a given set of conditions that would change wildly if any variables were changed. ambient temp, wind speed, humidity, barrel start temp and the list goes on and on. Sorry if im...

I use an engraver. I have a line marked on the press, and after I get the die ring tight I mark the ring to the line on the press, then I mark the body after I get it set. If I screw one up I just make the new mark deeper. This helps me with bullet seating as im usually right on and don't...

Jim Watson the serial is in the 5800 range and has NM after. Thanks again RC model Im sure you are right as I trust ur opinion but having trouble wrapping my head around how the hammer spring has no effect. In my mind im thinking that if the hammer is pushing harder on to the sear...

I know its been awhile but I finally got around to getting it fixed. First I tried a Power custom series I stoning fixture and just barely cleaned up the sear. Lined it up with the existing lines and just lightly "buffed". And the hammer would still fall but not as much. So being just a...

Alright so i finally got to go to the range and it shot better than i can! I tested it for awhile to make sure it wouldnt go auto on me and was able to load it up. It never fell to half cock while shooting but would still fall after inserting a full mag. This is the most accurate pistol ive...

thanks for the quick replies Bill ive heard that your not supposed to use the silde release on an empty chamber before but no one has ever explained it to me before. Im stubborn but what you said makes since about the bullet chambering cushioning the impact. I guess in my silly little mind...

I just inherited a colt national match 1911 45. Its engraved with Clark heavy slide. I believe it might be before the Gold Cup as it doesnt say so. serial number 58**. New to 1911s but i have found that when using the slide release the hammer follows to the 1/4 cock, not all the time but...

So i have a new Remington 700 ADL in 30-06 and was looking forward to reloading for it and working up loads as i think i have gotten everything i can out of the old 8mm mauser sporter. My problem is the lands seem so far away that the bullet would be bearly in the case. Ive read that...

I was recently given an older MEC Sizemaster and reloading components. Been reloading rifle and pistol brass intermitently for a good while. I believe the press, powder and primers(cci 157 &109) are 15-20 years old, stored inside and no rust inside or outside the cans. One pound of wincher...

I read through the posts quickly so maybe someone already mentioned it but, my old man always taught me to look through the flashhole after taking brass out of the tumbler. I dont know if it has to do with brass or my redneck way of not measuring how much polish i put in the tumbler but...

I never thought to reshape the aluminum pan but that makes sense. I live in the south where the humidity is ungodly high even today. Ive never had a problem with static ... except when i wiped everything down with a "color catcher" sheet and not the static sheet! I had a layer of powder...

hey thanks for the comments! I managed to borrow some check weights and it actually reads better than my electronic. Even down to 2 and 3 grains the beam is more consistant. My dillon has to be rezeroed every couple of weighs...thats why im going back to the beam and so far i see no need to...

I did a search an couldnt find anything but i have a feeling this has been discussed or done before. I would like to use a scale pan with a funnel built/molded as one ie panfunnel, on my rcbs 5-10. I have always used a panfunnel on my electronic scale but am slowly switching to using the...

Im thinking this is an easy question for someone. I have a uniflow powder measure and feel that i would benefit from using a larger "chamber" for measure rifle charges. Seems like i have to unscrew too far when switching from pistol to rifle charges. I know the extruded stuff sucks to...
