Re: Stainless Steel Media Testimonials I'm finding I'm not liking the cement mixer as well as I thought I would. The problem is the media will go to the bottom(big end)and the brass stays up front and doesn't mix well because of the slant you have to have on the mixer to keep the...

Re: Anyone using vintage(68-69) LC .308 brass You might also check to see if the flash hole is centered, had that problen many moons ago. Borg

Re: fired case won't fit after resizing ? I had a Rem that had the same problem, found out that the chamber wasn't in alignment with the bore/bolt. Check the base of the case above the web before sizing to see if it bulges out to one side. a large chamber will do this also. You might also...

Re: Anybody recognize this powder thrower? Lyman used to sell a larger hopper, it's about 10" long. I don't know if they still make one, but you can get a piece of, I believe is Lexan from some plastic producers that will fit. It's just wedged in. Borg

Re: Cut Shells (The Poor Mans Slug) We used to do this to scare the ducks and geese to our side of the lake, shoot on the opposit side of them to scare them to us. That was in the mid '60's Sometimes with a full choke, they would come apart and hold a tight pattern shot group. Borg

Re: Stainless Steel Media Testimonials No peened case mouths just from the cases falling farther? Borg

Re: Stainless Steel Media Testimonials Same here. Also, do you find that it peens the mouth of the case more? Is that a plastic water bottle in the first pic or ?? Borg ETA What's the RPM on that mixer?

Re: Stainless Steel Media Testimonials You will be able to put more cases/media in the Thumblers than the RCBS, the RCBS is angled and not level. Just thinking, Harbor Freight has a $20 coupon on their site, and their small cement mixer is on sale for $149, sounds cheaper than a Thumblers...
