Re: Surprising surge in gun onwership by Democrats

Quoting Harris. "Just because you legally possess a gun in the sanctity of your locked home doesn't mean that we're not going to walk into that home and check to see if you're being responsible." Quoting Trump; "Take the guns first, go through due process second". It is rare to ...

Re: Brass expansion (Spring back)

Have owned this Hornady brass around 10 years when it was cheap to buy. Wouldn't think it would go bad sitting that long but not sure. I did know some of the primer pockets seemed a little loose when I reloaded these but only a few. Maybe I need to bump it down to just max load. If these Lapua brass...

308. CCI primers. RL17 powder. Primers blown out. Recovered all of them. No cratering. Has to be the brass. Did a batch this morning with Lapua brass. Have run this load for a few years without issues. Only 0.4 gr over max. 200 gr Hornady ELD X pills. Hope to get to the range this week to see how it...

Re: Brass expansion (Spring back)

The pins dont get as clean as the rest of the brass. Plus I have a tool to insure the pockets are level. Went to the range friday. All of my reloads with Hornady brass popped the primers. I stopped at 6 shots. The loads are still accurate though. Going to break out my lapua brass and replace these l...

Re: Brass expansion (Spring back)

No corrosion. They all seem fine. The powder was stuck together and black. Powder is Reloader 17. When I reload, I go through every aspect. Full resize. Trim to length. Primer pockets cleaned. I tumble clean with the pins so they are almost like new. I don't care to anneal. I toss them first sign of...

Brass expansion (Spring back)

Has some reloads from a few years back I was shooting recently. 200 gr Hornady ELD X out of my bolt gun. Was having some issues with them so also brought a new batch to shoot. The older pills had the purplish tip that Hornady had to change to a solid red tip. The newer loads were shooting great. Plu...

Winchester Mil brass

Is there something different between this brass and LC brass? Was removing the mil crimp and used a cleaning tool to clean the bottom of the pocket and it fit right in on brass I did not ream out. So tried to put a primer in brass that I haven't reamed out. fit right in. The ring is there though. Bo...

Re: Removing primer crimp

Well this sucks. It works but to slow. I see RCBS makes a swagger. Just looking for the cheapest that will work. Recommendations? My offer stands. Just maybe I could sell you other stuff you didn't know you wanted. :D Thanks for the offer. That’s another reason why I don’t come out. Other half fina...

Re: Removing primer crimp

Have tried rubber gloves. Sucks. Did try a few with the spark plug socket. Works fairly well. Larger object to hold onto. I'll go try around 100 to confirm this.

Re: Removing primer crimp

Haven't tried it yet but the large spark plug socket with the rubber inside fits perfect for 308 brass. Nice and snug. If this fails, will order another tool as my old fingers won't last long. Am using my frankfort arsenal station to do this. Will post my results this afternoon.

Am thinking the spark plug socket with the rubber piece inside may just work. Will give it a try. Thanks for the suggestion.

Come use mine NC.

Thanks. A bit far to do 950 pieces of brass.
