I wanted a large frame and wanted it a bit more portable. I cut and machined the cross bars square on the ends and installed 1/4-20 thread inserts and drilled the verticals as a matched set. I use a 7/16 nut driver to assemble with the 4 bolts once I get there. In the playing around mode...

Not all machine guns or firearms in general treat brass the same. Remember the difference between semiauto fired brass and machinegun fired brass can be as little as what position the selector is in (technically if it has a selector it's just a machinegun fired in semiauto but you get the...

I think they are not enough of a destructive pest to the farmer yet. If they were he would be paying you to kill them and wouldn't care if you used a squirt gun as long as they were dead.

The Sun in Texas during the summer will not only dry thousands of cases in 2.5 beers but also make them too hot to hold in your hand. In the winter time I have a little heated fan I use but it takes longer.

I have killed them with pistols as small a .284, (7mmBR) but if you have a place to hunt, why piss the guy off? Just get what he wants and do what you want to do. You might as well argue "killing factor" of pistol rounds or rifle rounds for that matter. In the end, you will just make the...

I have killed a lot of stuff I would not eat. For that matter I have trapped and poisoned a lot of animals that were a nuisance, that not only do I not care how they die but the fact that they do, never a plan on eating them. Rats, mice, coyotes, the list can go on and on....Hogs have a side...

If your brass rusts....well your not drying brass.

Back when I was a kid I used to load 357 mag up close to 41 mag levels. Now that I am older I take a 44 mag and down load it to 41 levels. One way isn't as cool as the other but safe and brass and firearms will last a lot longer.

I agree. Machinest levels are very precise but I have never seen people to do a final align with more than one of them.

Why? The "up/down" level is useless because you have no way to change it, unless you machine the rail the rings are on. All you really need is a single level. Set it on the surface the rail is sitting on, make that level, then move it to the turret, rotate scope until it is level.

I never found depriming to be fun clean or dirty but never found any difference in effort. If you don't use case lube, sizing will be more difficult with washed brass.

For the most part I load for the rounds to fit the case gauge so no matter what I am shooting from beltfed to bolt action, they all work.

Added a collator off one of my reloading machines and a "flipper" for bullet sizing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Cc1hUj343w

You can get them from here. Steel Targets and Products by www.handgunsports.com I make mine. You can pull out the legs to remove any wiggle without the top bolt though. I did the "flasher" style and used 2"x 1/4" flat strap. Just black when sitting there Pops up red when...

Had a few hours after supper tonight and threw together another idea I had. Looks like it will cut down 2880/hr .223 cases to be final trimmed for 300 blk. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mD2tugzRnD0

I had the same problem when we moved, wound up making the bench 18" wide and L shape. Narrowed the bench instead of mounting the press's on flimsy brackets. Bolted a rubber stop to the leg by the door so it didn't get banged up.

It is a long way away from kit forum. I have a couple of other irons in the fire and need to do some more refinements first. I also had another idea this morning that may have more interest than this one would generate.

Added the drop tube and sized a few bullets this morning. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=01zbImsdkbg I'll have to order a push through case sizing die and give it a try with brass. I already have an automated roll sizer though. I still need to make another bullet flipper, the one I...
