    Case Trimmer

    I'm surprised no one mentions the Wilson trimmer. By itself in a vise, it garantees perfect perpendicular cuts... With Sinclair's holder and base, its next to perfect and holds its settings forever. and...its a beautiful piece of of form and function! Picture is without base -...

    do you reload while sitting or standing? Why?

    +1 My high chair is simliar to a bar stool - I can fully sit but occasionally balance against the chair, especially if loading off a quick run. However, I do need the seat when my neck and back problems arise. docgary

    When do you discard your brass?

    Its an excellent question! If you wait until you see obvious neck or head defects you may be looking at a seperation on the next shot! I only shoot .223 rem with my custom AR15 - (Krieger match chamber) I had a rather cavilier (sp?) attitude towards retiring brass - As long as they...

    how do you store ammo? Im a high polish brass addict!!

    I have the old Ammo cans for 50 cal but they DO NOT have any seal or gasket. They close via a closing clip on the side - Although quite tight and strong, I dont believe they are air tight. However, I'm gonna use the card board boxes with styrofoam inserts placed in large zip lock bags...

    Redding 'S' Full length bushing dies-bushing size for .223?

    My bad...the .252 was the smallest case neck diameter. So your saying .249 in is my best bet? At $11 a pop, I rather not be forced to buy 2 or 3 bushings... AR 15...does it change the approach re: a semi auto? TIA docgary

    Maybe serendipity or happenstance, but I find the fact that I ordered the EXACT product you suggest less than 24 hours before your post, slightly unnerving! See below my saved invoice of the order... __________________________

    how do you store ammo? Im a high polish brass addict!!

    Nope...sort of tongue-in-cheek, though!:p Now that's a good idea! ( 'light bulb over head' smiley!) It really should give me my fix!!! Re-read my post again - been there..done that! That's the problem..I am one! Don't you think that most of us reloaders have a touch of OCD...

    Redding 'S' Full length bushing dies-bushing size for .223?

    Title says it all... Following the instructions in the Sinclair catalog... " .002in smaller than the average neck diameter of loaded cartridges. My .223 reloads average 0.252 inches neck diameter. Therefore, 0.250in bushings are the size. Anyone disagree? Suggestions? I'm...

    how do you store ammo? Im a high polish brass addict!!

    I admit it - Im a high polish brass addict!!:banghead: I spend an obscene amount of time cleaning and polishing my brass. On one of my 'out-of-control' days, I actually hand polished 1000 .223 cartridges with Flitz. I ran out half ways but completed my relapse with Mothers Aluminum...

    Anyone witness or experince a broken or cracked AR bolt or carrier?

    I had a case head seperation/detonation about a month ago... I believe the cause was a severe undercharge. The carrier lost its underside supporting the bolt, which had its extractor severely bent. The bolt went back into service without problems. The carrier was replaced with a Young...

    Need help changing buffer tube on an AR....

    ______________________________________ Sorry...I gotta go with Mulliga. I shoot strictly for sport - and use the AR for target only. If the castle nut gets loose, the worse case scenario is the early stages of the stock turning on the lower. BFD! Im not in Iraq with zombies zapping...

    spotting scope recommendations?

    Well said... For the most part, between compensating for bullet drop and making corrections from the 100 yd line to 300 yds, I get on target quick. But you hit the nail on the head! If I'm slightly off on the windage, or perhaps a couple of inches hi or low, I've got to see the...

    spotting scope recommendations?

    Thanks for the replies! One important piece of information left out.... I ALWAYS use Cauldwell's or Casey's "Shoot N See" high contrast targets... Usually 3 inch round targets, 2 per page. I imagine that fact allows for the inclusion of a lot more scopes! I figure I'm going to...
