    Re: 11 lessons b4 having kids 1. No! 2. No! 3. No-opposite exactly 4. Yes-but distraction is the wrong adjective; try Crisis Generator And don't forget if you don't, you will regret it in the end. At some point you will realise that the only importance is your children, all else will fade.

    forster coax press issue

    Re: forster coax press issue Ron, I looked and my press DOES have the centering screw. I fooled with it some and it helped--significantly--problem is, it will not reliably extract a case that has been full lenght resized with that pin engaged with the jaws.... You have the centering screw...

    forster coax press issue

    Re: forster coax press issue 3 or 4 times it will grip it cockeyed If by cockeyed you mean that the case is not properly seated in the jaws; the reasons I see for that happening are: 1. Springs weak not forcing the jaws closed. Fix: replace springs or stretch them out so they put enough...

    forster coax press issue

    Re: forster coax press issue Well, it looks like progress has made me irrelevant and left me behind in the dust. Both of my coax presses have the centering screw shown in photo 6 on the pdf I listed above. At some point Foster has discontinued it. Forster's web site coax instructions...

    forster coax press issue

    Re: forster coax press issue You may try this: 1. Jaws clean and free to move? Check that screws attaching shell holder jaws are not too tight causing one jaw to bind. Is one jaw bent? 2. Springs not distorted and equal length? Do they have enough force to close the jaws correctly...

    Re: Water spots on my brass after SS media I think you have water spots caused by minerals in your water supply. I do a short tumble with corn cob and brass polish to get rid of that and put a thin coat of polish on the brass. I think a thin coat of polish prevents tarnish problems on...
