    Really Tough Reloading Questions/Follow-up Report

    Re: Really Tough Reloading Questions I will vote for the bad chrony. Also for max barrel life I would think about backing down the load which will help barrel and most likely group size.

    Bullet question

    Re: Bullet question Are you hunting, competition or what? Bronze points are rare and I would hold on to them for hunting. They are not good enough for target work. 155 Palma ,168,175 Sierra Matchkings would be my choice for target work. With way things are now, get them and sit on them...

    What causes over pressure loads?

    Re: What causes over pressure loads? I have chambered two barrels from same manufacturer to min headspace and run throat erosion gage in to record unfired throat depth and had a full ring of difference due to the barrel internal dimensions. You can really see the differences in barrels with a...

    media for tumbling

    Re: media for tumbling Yes it will work harden brass to a very slight extent but considering no known US Commercial brass meets the hardness requirements of 7.62 NATO STANAG and/or the M118/M72 ammo, it is beneficial to have it hardened. Think about it, US commercial ammo is quite soft and...

    Stainless Steel Media Testimonials

    Re: Stainless Steel Media Testimonials I just checked and best I can tell a 44 Mag case holds 1/2 teaspoon of Ivory Detergent. Now all we gotta do is tumble a load with one 44 Mag case full of Ivory and a 9MM case full of Limishine and see what happens. I plan on just dumping the whole case...

    Stainless Steel Media Testimonials

    Re: Stainless Steel Media Testimonials No actually it is for insuring water tight integrity of the drum. My Thumlers rubber gasket lasted a few months and developed a hole there. I went to Home Depot and got a piece of lexan, traced out the lid, cut it out on a band saw and drilled the holes...

    Stainless Steel Media Testimonials

    Re: Stainless Steel Media Testimonials I think with the discovery of a 9MM case full of Limishine and the small amounts of dish soap folks are using we must be down in the $.05 per batch cleaned range now. I am going to town today to look for medicine dispenser cups that are supposed to...

    Stainless Steel Media Testimonials

    Re: Stainless Steel Media Testimonials My process is a bit different. First off I decap cases with Lee Universal decapper. Next I FL size them with no expander to wash out carbon and wash off case lube. I run about 100 to 150 308 cases or 200 5.56 cases in Thumlers B with 1/2 to 1 ounce of...

    300 win mag ??

    Re: 300 win mag ?? Personally I would build my own if you want to get on top of the pile in a hurry. You could get a 7MM Rem Mag Sendero Special on 700 action and have it rebarreled to 300 Win Mag and have the action trued up while barrel is off and be much better off financially. If you...

    Soap for the stainless media

    Re: Soap for the stainless media Was the drum full of water or just to top of brass? If the drum is not full of water the brass gets "too much action" for lack of a better term and can free fall though air pocket to impact others. Next question did you anneal the cases to dead soft before...

    Stuck Case

    Re: Stuck Case There is another way. If you have deep well 1/2" drive sockets find the one the lower end of the die will go in. As you pull on the decap holder, unscrew it and pull it out. This leaves the expander in the case. Ease a steel rod or heavy spike into the case mouth and cut it...

    Soap for the stainless media

    Re: Soap for the stainless media Clark, Try running them like four to six hours after chamfering. Is your tank almost full of water. Fill it to about 1/2" from rim. Is your chamfer tool like a Wilson/RCBS or a long tapered one that gives a razor sharp edge? Can you post a good close up pic...

    How many reloads are you getting out of your brass

    Re: How many reloads are you getting out of your b Maximum case life in 308 will be obtained with LC MATCH cases. With proper care and minimal resizing you can get 100+ loads with LC brass. I suspect IMI would give long case life as well. Mic your fired cases .200" up from rim and I believe...

    Neck Turning question

    Re: Neck Turning question depending on the caliber and brass and how tight the chamber is determines how much I take off. For instance in 30.06 brass I set the trimmer to leave .014" neck wall which just takes off the high spots. First determine the size of your neck. Fired cases spring...

    annealing

    Re: annealing I like to have plenty of light as I can watch the color change and just as soon as I see it change I pull it through the flame to even out the color all the way to the case mouth. NOTE: By color change is it has not turned blue IN THE FLAME but just changed a shade. As soon as...

    annealing

    Re: annealing If you keep case neck in flame long enough to heat head to 450F I believe the neck will be bright red long before the head gets hot which at any case you have ruined it. Took some looking and here is response I did a few weeks back on same subject. When I worked for the Army...
