It's actually kimd of funny... when I say "dug up", it was actually more like randomly looked up and remembered that the old target was used to close up an attic access hole in the shop...

Yup. I just dug up a target from when I sighted it in years ago (that component/ammo scare really robbed years off of my shooting life). The best groups I had were with 150gr. sst factory ammo. Man... hahaha... I'm just glad I can get back to it. I was going to start reloading years ago. All the...

I want to play with it and see what it will do. That's why I was looking at some bullets with higher BC's. I really don't hunt much. I'm one of those guys that enjoys books, tools and the process. I don't want to be too hard on the old girl, but I'd like to see what she can do!

According to Browning, mine is a 68 grade II. I didn't notice "patent pending" on mine while I was trying to date it. I'll check again and see if it is there.

I have read the service rifle section of the Hornady manual. I did notice they were using lighter bullets. Is this because of the pressure ratings of the older guns? My bar is a 68.

So I'm about to start working up a load for my BAR. The Honady manual lists 11 powders ranging from Alliant RL-15 to SUPERFORMANCE. These powders are for the 190gr. Interlock BTSP that I have my eye on. I'm wondering what speed powder would be best for the BAR's gas system. Fast? medium? Slow...

Well thanks for the input, cfullgraf! It has been very helpful.

Challenge accepted!! That's nice though. I'm guessing you have a mill? I'm pretty sure I will be getting the Wilson trimmer. How is the mic Sinclair uses? Pretty solid? I was reading reviews on Sinclairs page and found one that worried me... A guy noticed the bearing on his was machined a couple...

Mounting Wilson Case Trimmer and Clamp to Stand: That's a video from Wilson that I was watching during some research. You'll see in the beginning that when he takes the bearing off, he mentions the two holes and shows why they are there. So if that's the case, then I guess in the video when...

The Wilson has a micrometer too, but you set up for every different cartridge. The Sinclairs micrometer reads actual case length, so whatever you set the mic too that's how long the trimmed case will be. What bothers me about that is the fact that if you move the bearing on the Sinclair...

I'm torn between the Wilson trimmer and Sinclairs version of the same. The Sinclair version has the micrometer that reads actual case length. The original Wilson allows you two mounting points for the bearing (the second point allows you to fit a larger case, 30-06 is what they mention as an...

I'm thinking I'll use the universal mounting plate setup (or whatever inline calls it) and just have a shelf with other presses and a vice I can swap out.

That is nice work! I like the powder magazine and open cabinets.

So I'm under the impression that the lemishine's purpose is hard water. So If you use soft water that runs through a micron filter, would you need lemishine? I bet the AAW&W might coat better without it. I'm thinking about running the finished rounds through walnut (or corn cob?) with some...

Not sure how many folks here are into archery, but those who are will know how great string wax works on threads. I just picked up a lee universal decapping die. While cleaning it and giving it a light coat of oil (yes I am that guy) I noticed that the collet was not that smooth to tighten. A...

Nice bench, thomas 15! I have the creative juices flowing. Tracking down some hardware and hopefully before long I will be adding my build to the bench thread!

I also like the idea of the scale shelf. I'm going to make it a little more sturdy, but I like the idea of having the balance closer to eye level. How does that work out?

I've got a buffet that is extremely close to the same dimensions. Only 2.5" shorter. The NRMA will be at a perfect height for me to stand. The ultramount will definitely keep me from bending over at all. I do want to be able to work seated as well. I found a heavy duty adjustable stool with back...

Thanks guys! I'm starting with the NRMA bench design, but I will be tweaking it a bit and this information will help.

Does the inline fabrication stand make a bench want to tip anymore than a press mounted directly to the surface? Or possibly less? Trying to figure out width on my bench design.
