    Why won't this Lyman balance scale zero? Going nuts here!!!!

    All reloading scales for the last 30 years or so have been magnetically damped. Prior to that most reloading scales were oil damped, with a small paddle the pivot point dragging in a container of oil. This system works well, although a bit messy, and you can change the amount of damping required...

    Please dont flame me..Need some help with scope

    I shot this short video on the spur of the moment with my phone camera, I know it's not good quality but it might help. - Once you understand the principal, zeroing any scope is easy. You need to see this with the PC, if you use a tablet or mobile you won't see the text explaining what's...

    To Magnify or not ot magnify ?

    We worry about trimming our cases to the same length as near as we can, and have a fair stab at seating the bullet with a nod to consistency, shouldn't we be doing our best with the powder charge when it's so easy. I know, if you're in the middle of a node, a few kernels either way probably...

    Prometheus Powder thrower (Thoughts/Experience?/Where to buy?)

    If you have a reliable beam scale it's worth thinking about one of the Auto tricklers:- Omega Auto Trickler Operation - YouTube

    Scale suggestion

    You might have a look at the Dillon "Eliminator" beam scale - Just a basic standard scale but looks good value. I also like the Redding No2.

    Digital Scale

    Why not stick with the Beam scale and buy some check weights - Be able to hand them on to your Grandson then.

    RCBS Chargemaster or other electronic powder scales/dispensers

    There is a very similar US auto trickler using the same technology - Quicker, more accurate and cheaper than a chargemaster. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eF-jL2kJRUc or https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kbw5k2zUxyU

    Number of Posts went way down

    My problem is that I link to several historic post/threads - Now the links go nowhere. They have actually gone, I can't track them down anywhere. It looks like a wad of stuff from 2010 - 2012.

    First time annealing, need help

    Re: First time annealing, need help Personally I think that if I get any red glow from the case I've gone too far. When I set my machine up I use the darkend room trick to see the start of the red glow then speed up the timing a little. I run with one torch and a .308 just starts to turn red...

    SW 32 long

    Re: SW 32 long The Hammerli SP 20 looks and excellent target pistol. In my competing days the Hammerli 208's were often seen and the 215 were just coming on line. I can't recall loading the 83gn bullets although I did do a fair bit of testing with the chrony and a Ransom machine rest. You...

    SW 32 long

    Re: SW 32 long At one time I used to shoot a lot of .32 S&W long with a semi-auto target pistol. My match pistol was a Fiochi/Pardini and along with most similar target pistols could only chamber full wadcutter rounds with the bullet seated full in the case. I found it quite fussy to load...

    New ideas - Very promising.

    Re: New ideas - Very promising. Well it looks like I have just spent a weeks thinking time re-inventing the wheel - What I have made is another I-scope, maybe not so pretty but it works just the same. A couple of bits of plastic and a cardboard tube. I thought I was onto a real winner there...
