    How to drill a hole in the primer pocket?

    I make jewelry (key chains, pull chains and necklaces) from fired cases and I came up with this simple set-up to drill my flash holes. I drilled holes in a piece of scrap steel and a pair of old vice-grips and attached them using screws and wing-nuts. I cut a couple pieces of 1/2...

    High powered rifle cartridge temparature post firing

    When I shoot my Garand I don't even THINK about picking the brass up right away. That -06 brass gets toasty! Tim the student: I just bought an AR and I can see how you'd get burned like that. Thank you for your service! Nice name too.... Closet (Tim ;))

    For the ruger 10/22 lovers!

    This is my one and only 10/22. I guess you could call it a 10/22 M1 Carbine. I found the M1 Carbine stock for $15. I had to Dremil out some wood and glass bed the stock so the barrel and receiver would fit. The only other parts that aren't stock are the Tech-sights and the recoil...

    Why did you start reloading your own ammunition?

    I don't load when I'm tired, distracted, frustrated, ect, ect... I learned the hard way. When I first started my "better half" had a Bad habit of coming over to the bench to talk and stuff. Well, after 2 squibs in one magazine in my M1 Carbine:cuss:, I told her VERY NICELY to NOT bother me...

    Looking for "On Target" program.

    Last year sometime I found a link in a thread for a program called "On Target". I can't remember if it was on here or not. It's a really cool program! You scan in a target and with the tools in the program you can get figures like Group Size, Standard Dev., M.O.A, ect... Well, I got a...

    Why did you start reloading your own ammunition?

    I got into reloading when my Dad got a Garand a couple years ago and we had a hard time finding M2 Ball (I didn't know about CMP then) to feed it. When I saw the end of the cheap, surplus -06 on the horizon I figured reloading would be the only way to go. I now load for 2 Garands, 2 M1...

    imperial resizing wax- cleanup?

    Rubbing alcohol? For small batches (20 or so pieces): I use a rag with a little rubbing alcohol after trimming with a Lee case length gauge in an electric screwdriver. I trim with C.L.G., ream and then hit with rag for a couple turns. Quick and easy. For large batchs (50-200 pieces)...

    Why do you Reload?

    Oh, Yeah, I forgot to add in my O.P. that I originally got into reloading because my Dad and I have a couple M1 Garands and I could see the end of the cheap, surplus M2 Ball on the horizon. I figured reloading was the only way that we'd be able to shoot these battle rifles in the future without...

    I've found guns in odd places...

    My wife's cousin passed away a little over a year ago. He was really into guns and reloading before he got sick. I guess, over the years, he had over 300 handguns/rifles:eek:. He would buy a gun, "play" with it, sell it, get another and repeat. Anyway, after he passed his sister asked me...

    Where do you guys get your bowling pins?

    TheNev, I think Larry is talking about the OLD Brunswick FLYER. When I first started at the bowling center back in the mid to late 80's these where the pins that they used. They had a really thin (1/32?) plastic cover that was susceptible (sp) to "Scalping". The plastic would crack off...

    M1 Carbine ammo

    I've loaded about 2K+ 30 Carbine rounds so far using mostly AA#9 with standard Redding dies. I've tried H110 and IMR4227 also but I found #9 burns cleaner, used less powder and groups better. At least for me;). I use the Lee case length gauge trimmer with the holder in an electric...
