    Gunsmithing Dumbest Question of the Day!

    Re: Dumbest Question of the Day! I agree, stick a brake on it. I had SAC put a Little Bastard brake on my 308, and now it recoils like a light load 223 or less.

    Re: Lets talk about benches and press height Fuzzball, I wasn't asking for your height so I could duplicate it. I just wanted to know what you thought was comfortable.

    Gunsmithing Mixed up bolts

    Re: Mixed up bolts I'm getting ready to have SAC do another bolt knob conversion and I'm picking a different knob for the second one just for this reason. This will give me a way of identifying the bolts.

    Case trimmer?

    Re: Case trimmer? I was pretty disappointed in my Lyman trimmer. It wouldn't hold the size, the adjustment just wouldn't stay in place and the cutter dulled after about 1000 cases. I stepped up to the Forster and the 3 way cutting head and never even looked at the Lyman again.

    Lets talk about benches and press height

    Re: Lets talk about benches and press height Fuzzball, how high? About chest level? Both my presses are Lee's, one classic breach lock and a turret. Mechanic, cool idea. Would be easy to build if I still had my mig welder. Hey I'm a retired GM tech for over 30 years. Looks like a new bench...

    Lets talk about benches and press height

    Re: Lets talk about benches and press height I started standing and that's when this last round of pain started to almost put me on disability. I went to sitting because I thought it would help. Now I'm wondering if I mount the press higher if that would help.

    Gas Gun & Ejecter Swipe

    Re: Gas Gun & Ejecter Swipe I reload for my Bar short track. I was using Reloader 15 and was no where max load from any book, and although it was really accurate, it beat the crap out of the gas system, almost to a point of having to start replacing parts, and that was only 100 rounds. As a...

    Help Cleaning a BAR

    Re: Help Cleaning a BAR I use Barnes CR-10 for the inside of the barrel and Hoppe's for cleaning everything else. I use gun grease or Remmy gun oil for lubrication. The bolt is tricky to put back in. You will need to extend it a bit to go in, then collapse it to finish dropping it in the rail.
