You are using the old High Contrast theme. We have installed a new dark theme for you, called UI.X. This will work better with the new upgrade of our software. You can select it at the bottom of any page.
you can also use graphite as a lubricant instead, and they won't get too nasty..
my favorite is kroil. Buy it by the 1 gallon jug. excellent lubricant/penetrant. put it in a small drip bottle, not a squirt bottle... or use it with a syringe/needles. it does not take much at all. You can also get SiliKroil which has silicon in it.
I can't wait for an aerokroil product with teflon.. *druel*
The only problem with graphite is that it doesn't protect (prevent corrosion), which if I read correctly is what petrey10 was looking for.
OTOH, Kroil is really good stuff, but won't it deactivate primers (probably a non-issue, as your not slathering it on, but something that concerns me nonetheless)?
i was raised being fed that primers are ruined by anything. therefore they are not touched, ever (oil from hands/finger), touched by any type of tool, other than the primering system, which is not lubricated anywhere except the slide bar on the dillon.. in which i use graphite.. because it won't "creep" like kroil.
Fair enough; FWIW I'm the same way with my primers...they get dumped into trays, never touched, nor close to oiled surfaces (but that still concerns me as primed brass does near oiled surfaces).
Like everyone elses loading bench, this is a work in progress. I think I'm just over half finished. I added a second "hutch" that's actually a 24" cube. This way I have access to shelving both in the front, and back of the unit...
The rear of the unit.
That television is also now the monitor for my PC. Click the remote... PC! Click again... TV! Gotta love technology...
The entire section on the left (blue cabinets, pegboard and bookcase) are going to be upgraded or replaced... soon...
Re: handling primers...if a couple need to be turned over I use my fingers...I keep oil near the bench but do not store the primesr in the stuff....I've got nearly 60k cycles on my Dillon 650 and I've not had a single failure to fire (other than a few out of my first 100 where I did not seat the primers deep enough.
I don't worry about this stuff.
I wear gloves, but not to keep the primers happy....to keep my hands as clean as I can while handling brass with spent primer dust and lead all over them...or lead bullets....I hear all the concerns, but I don't ever see a reason to get anal over primer storage or handling.
Just WEAR eye protection!!! Don't ask me why I know this!!
BTW....I use Winchester, CCI, Wolf, Remington and Federal...they all go boom.
Hi,
Thanks VonFatman
