Submerging in water gets rid of the surface tension that causes the pins to "stick" to things because of the soap.
My pins are .040" diameter and .252" long and work with .223.
You've never recovered a bullet? Only "leading" is going to be when it opens up in something. I know people that actually "shoot out" leading from cast bullets, with jacketed bullets.
Now you have me wondering what the melting temp was on the plastic tips Hornady used to use before they...
Well, I used this stuff because I have a lot of it on the farm.
And once I maxed out the elevation, I still needed 4ft of hold but its clear enough you can see the bullet falling back earth, in it's rainbow trajectory, at 300 yards.
Had my buddy give it a run...
I agree with you. People that need business go after customers. There are a number of businesses that have a constant rolling "wait list" and they don't try as hard at drumming up new customers as making ones that have already ordered happy. Makes sense to me to focus on making happy...
You can use a brass case, just need to open up the flash hole.
The plastic ones just allow you to deprime them with a nail, by hand. The larger flash hole is so they don't back out of the pocket when fired with the super light bullet and no powder.
A lot of the problem is people who just introduced themselves to measuring instruments as well as reloading, just compounded the learning curve problem.
I can see the argument for both sides but when it works better, KISS is the way I go. Save the other stuff for problem solving.
There is 1 1/4 turn of "down" left with 100 yard zero.
Was using a lot of this, that was subsonic.
Was pretty close as I used this little fixture I built to project a dot down range that was centered in the scope I took off of it. Swap and line the new one up with the dot and go.
Then...
Just keep your die high enough to not shove the shoulder back but low enough the neck is sized well enough to hold a bullet.
At some point it will quit fitting and you can set your die.
Cut the bottom off a high pressure tank and they turn into a bell, much louder than anything flat, I have shot.
