I've run two loads of brass through my lortone qt12. 5 lbs of media, 3 lbs of deprimed brass, few drops of dish soap, teaspoon of lemi shine, and I fill it up to about 2 1/2" from the top. That give me 12 lbs not counting the weight of the tub. Run for 2-3 hours and have sparkling clean brass.
If I use that much brass and media, and fill it almost all the way up with water. I'm going to be way over 12 lbs. Have you done that much weight with a lortone qt12? Or another tumbler?
I'm in Oregon, so dry and warm weather is not to be depended on. I think I'll get out my postage scale and zero it out with the tub on it. Then add 5 lbs of media, 2 lbs of brass, and fill it up like you said. Then if I'm not at 12 lbs, I'll know how much more brass I can add. I don't want to...
I just picked up two lortone qt12 tumblers, I have lemi shine and stainless media on the way. Does anyone have a general idea as to how much water, brass and media to run? It's a 12 lb tumbler vs the 15 of the thumler. I'm thinking 3lbs brass, 5lbs media, half a gallon of water(about 3.5 lbs)...
I've put other ammo through it, unfortunately I wasn't looking at the primers. I'll be hitting the range to do a ladder test soon. I'll take some other factory ammo and see if any of it gives me similar results.
I'm getting ready to start reloading for my P308. I wanted to compare the headspace from a fired round and an unfired round from the same box of FGMM. That's when I noticed all the primers were cratered, and a little flattened. And quite a few have ejector marks. This is old white box FGMM, i'm...
I went with the rcbs accessory base plate w. RCBS Accessory Base Plate 2 Trimmer Powder Measure Stand Priming Tool I cut a notch out of a sheet of 1/2" plywood doubled up as a bench top. Then I made a thin cover with two locating dowels to cover it when I'm using it as a work bench instead of...
The jp looks great and gets great reviews, but if you don't want to wait half a year and pay $4.5k. You should pick up a pof. I found mine for just under $2k nib including shipping and ffl fees. It's 8.75lbs for the 16.5". With their new rail setup I was able to mount my swfa 5-20 hd in .965"...
Thanks for all the advice guys. I have no delusions of competing at 1000 yards with a 16" 308 ar. I have regular access to 300 yards, once a week I can shoot out to 600. And probably other than the class I want to take, I'll only shot past 600 maybe once a year for fun with some friends. I'll...
I just bought the rifle and I'm just getting started reloading(so far just 9mm and 44 mag). I'm lookin at chronographs now, I'll order one soon. I haven't messed with any calculators yet, pof's site says fgmm 168 will chrono 2500 fps in the 16.5".
With the wait times for GAP and other top tier guns. The used ones sell for about the same price as a new one. Because People will pay a premium to not wait. So if resale is similar accross the board, and you don't have budget constraints. It sounds like you need to decide what features you want...
