So what about all the folks using 308 cans on 7.62x39 guns?

This may be old school but why not soak the parts in Kerosene?

It's 100% doable! As an example, for years Federal Gold Medal Match has been the gold standard at least for the 308. The reason being is that it shoots good in about every rifle it is shot in. People strive to reach the accuracy of that ammo in their own handloads. Take a look at the SAAMI...

Don't have the vise you're looking at. Here is an alternative that is also cheaper. Just do a search for Parrot Vise.

"Place the LabRadar in a position where it will not be impacted by ejecting cartridge cases, muzzle debris/blast or other items. THE LABRADAR SHOULD BE PROTECTED FROM WEAPONS WITH MUZZLE BRAKES. PLACE THE LabRadar IN A POSTION SO IT IS NOT DIRECTLY IMPACTED BY THE MUZZLE BLAST. A BARRIER BETWEEN...

Which one do you think best fits your requirements?

I think you may want to recheck your numbers. "runout is less than a hundred K" are you saying < 0.100"? "average near of 4 hundred K" near 0.400"? Something is definitely not right.

Exactly what caliber are you shooting that it is missing?

If you want to ruin your 80% lower try machining it with a hand drill!

Acetone will dissolve greases and oils but will not touch rust. If the rust got under the Cerakote, Evapo Rust will dissolve the rust and compromise the Cerakote bond to the object. A little contact could cause it to chip.

I get the feeling that if the part is bad enough to need Evapo Rust, Cerakote is the least of your worries. Sounds like remove rust and then refinish would get you the best results.

You're going to need to figure out what the minimum power you're comfortable hunting with. Then find a scope that gives you the maximum power in a size that works for you. Maximum power will give you best view of target for most accuracy potential for target shooting. Putting to large a scope...

Take a look at the Hornady Auto Charge. I bought one years ago and like it better than the RCBS as making changes is easier.

Federal brass has less internal space than Winchester. Normally you have to drop the charge when using cases with less internal capacity.
