    Whidden Die Disappointment

    John whidden seems like a good guy and based on my experience he will make it right. I’m just trying to make a case for supporting an independent guy who is an active member of the shooting community

    To clean or not to clean...

    My experience is that SS tumbling will raise your SD and ES, unless you use graphite neck lube before seating the bullets. Check out rice tumbling. Orkan has covered this at length. I switched from SS to rice and will never go back.

    Autotrickler/autothrow powder pan info solicitation

    The shot glasses look nice but I think a handle is important

    Autotrickler/autothrow powder pan info solicitation

    I’d make it wider and much taller. Have you tried it on a sartorius auto throw setup?

    Autotrickler/autothrow powder pan info solicitation

    The 419 product is sweet but way overkill. I’d like the pan to be much wider in diameter than the 419 version. I have to really make sure the 419 pan is in the exact right spot or I get kernels that miss the pan. I’d also like the opening to be smaller than the diameter of the base, that...

    What ELSE do you use your Ultrasonic cleaner for?

    I don't use US cleaning for brass any more (now I do Orkan's rice tumbling method). I'd love to hear what other uses (besides cleaning brass) people have found for the US cleaner. Dies? Gun parts? What else can I chuck in there and get cleaned the easy way?

    Rifle Scopes Tremor3 a waste?

    I'm a big fan of the Tremor 3 and I'll try to explain why. Basically, it gets me attuned to wind speed on every shot. I other words, on every shot, i'm thinking " 4 mph cross wind" or whatever. Using a kestrel, it was all a mystery. You do a bunch of inputs, the computer says "1.7 mils...

    Reloading: Where to start and what to buy

    I've used the hornady lock n load single stage. It's fine. People will say its not as solid as a rockchucker, and they're probably right, but Id be shocked if you could spot the difference in the finished round. The lock n load bushings suck. For them to be useful at all, you have to buy...

    Can’t decide on new press

    Go with the Dillon. Grab a used single stage Lee or something cheap for things like pulling bullets. You will not be disappointed.

    Youtube to ban reloading videos?

    Bank of America just announced that it will no longer do business with companies that manufacture "assault style" weapons. I will no longer be doing business with Bank of America.

    Advanced Marksmanship MHSA Training Group - Wind Lesson Vid from Class

    Frank I heard the class was awesome. Tons of information and personal attention/feedback, plus a full assload of live shooting. My buddy said he'd take the whole thing again, and I may do it with him in August, schedule permitting.

    Budget Reloading- help please

    Here's my .02. Putting a new 6.5 barrel on is the last thing I'd do if I were you. Spend your money on shooting. Almost everybody eventually moves from a 308 to a smaller caliber, if you start shooting competitions. But shooting a 308 will make you a better shooter, not a worse shooter...

    Youtube to ban reloading videos?

    I dunno guys the policy says it prevents "manufacturing." I dont think this should apply to hand loading ammo. But it's another example of people attempting to regulate this area without the slightest f'ing idea what they are talking about.

    Annealeez modifications

    I think that video accurately represents how loud mine is but I’ve never noticed it or been bothered by it. I got my swirl torch at go2marine about 2 weeks ago last but now I don’t see it on their site. I think bernzomatic discontinued the swirl torch. I have both torches that padom...

    Do you have a pilot or something that lets you line up the torch with the shell before the torch is lit?

    Got the potentiometer meter hooked up. Piece of cake. Here’s a vid of it working. I have the digital readout just taped to the top of the machine. It’s kinda hokey but appears to work https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=QluK4DySMcI Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    What hand or bench priming system do you use?

    21st century hand priming tool is excellent

    Annealeez modifications

    Yeah I was doing it from 10-15 psi -- that was a controlled flame but still too long. At 30 psi the flame was nuts. I tried 6 psi based on padom's suggestion and that tamed things down to a nicely controlled flame. I moved the torch head a little closer to the brass so that the brass was...

    I found it for $35 at go2marine. Thanks as always for the help.
