    Stainless Steel Media Testimonials

    I've run two loads of brass through my lortone qt12. 5 lbs of media, 3 lbs of deprimed brass, few drops of dish soap, teaspoon of lemi shine, and I fill it up to about 2 1/2" from the top. That give me 12 lbs not counting the weight of the tub. Run for 2-3 hours and have sparkling clean brass.

    Stainless Steel Media Testimonials

    I was going to make a home built setup. But I found two tumblers with one 12lb drum, and five 6 lb drums for $200.

    Stainless Steel Media Testimonials

    If I use that much brass and media, and fill it almost all the way up with water. I'm going to be way over 12 lbs. Have you done that much weight with a lortone qt12? Or another tumbler?

    Stainless Steel Media Testimonials

    I'm in Oregon, so dry and warm weather is not to be depended on. I think I'll get out my postage scale and zero it out with the tub on it. Then add 5 lbs of media, 2 lbs of brass, and fill it up like you said. Then if I'm not at 12 lbs, I'll know how much more brass I can add. I don't want to...

    Stainless Steel Media Testimonials

    I just picked up two lortone qt12 tumblers, I have lemi shine and stainless media on the way. Does anyone have a general idea as to how much water, brass and media to run? It's a 12 lb tumbler vs the 15 of the thumler. I'm thinking 3lbs brass, 5lbs media, half a gallon of water(about 3.5 lbs)...

    Cratered primers on FGMM fired from my POF P308. Is that normal?

    I've put other ammo through it, unfortunately I wasn't looking at the primers. I'll be hitting the range to do a ladder test soon. I'll take some other factory ammo and see if any of it gives me similar results.

    Cratered primers on FGMM fired from my POF P308. Is that normal?

    I'll try the other gas settings and see if I get different results. I have 3 positions on the gas piston setup. Regular, suppressed, and off.

    Good question. I'll take a pic and you can tell me.

    Cratered primers on FGMM fired from my POF P308. Is that normal?

    I'm getting ready to start reloading for my P308. I wanted to compare the headspace from a fired round and an unfired round from the same box of FGMM. That's when I noticed all the primers were cratered, and a little flattened. And quite a few have ejector marks. This is old white box FGMM, i'm...

    Need press to be removable. What are you using?

    I went with the rcbs accessory base plate w. RCBS Accessory Base Plate 2 Trimmer Powder Measure Stand Priming Tool I cut a notch out of a sheet of 1/2" plywood doubled up as a bench top. Then I made a thin cover with two locating dowels to cover it when I'm using it as a work bench instead of...

    308 AR recommendations

    The jp looks great and gets great reviews, but if you don't want to wait half a year and pay $4.5k. You should pick up a pof. I found mine for just under $2k nib including shipping and ffl fees. It's 8.75lbs for the 16.5". With their new rail setup I was able to mount my swfa 5-20 hd in .965"...

    Help choosing bullet for 16.5" 308 @ 1000 yards

    Thanks for all the advice guys. I have no delusions of competing at 1000 yards with a 16" 308 ar. I have regular access to 300 yards, once a week I can shoot out to 600. And probably other than the class I want to take, I'll only shot past 600 maybe once a year for fun with some friends. I'll...

    Help choosing bullet for 16.5" 308 @ 1000 yards

    I just bought the rifle and I'm just getting started reloading(so far just 9mm and 44 mag). I'm lookin at chronographs now, I'll order one soon. I haven't messed with any calculators yet, pof's site says fgmm 168 will chrono 2500 fps in the 16.5".

    308 AR recommendations

    The jp looks nice and is barely in your budget, I especially like the side charging handle. A 20" 260 would be cool.

    308 AR recommendations

    With the wait times for GAP and other top tier guns. The used ones sell for about the same price as a new one. Because People will pay a premium to not wait. So if resale is similar accross the board, and you don't have budget constraints. It sounds like you need to decide what features you want...

    Help choosing bullet for 16.5" 308 @ 1000 yards

    I know that a 16" 308 isn't ideal for 1000 yards. I'm not looking to shoot f class or even shoot that far regularly. I have a 16.5" POF P308 with a 1:10 twist barrel. My local range goes to 600 yards, and that's mostly what I'll be shooting. But this summer I'd like to take a class in...

    Long Range Semi Piston Rifle

    I just received my 2013 manufactured pof p308 16". I only have 120 rounds through it, but with fgmm it's sub moa. I bought it because I couldn't find anything in its price range that was sub moa and under 9 pounds. I got mine new for $1950.

    Go sea hawks!

    You were really close on the score and outcome, but you got the teams backwards(I couldn't help it). I was hoping for a close game that kept me on the edge of my seat. Not that I mind seeing my team walk all over the #1 offense. But I would've preffered if the Broncos had put up more of a...

    24 heavy to 16 heavy?

    I'm not saying a lighter barrel isn't a good idea. But it's more expensive, and similar time at a Smith. If it was me, I'd cut down what you have to 18". Then see if it's still too front heavy.

    24 heavy to 16 heavy?

    Because the gas system is too long. If you go any shorter the gas impulse will be too short and the gun won't function reliably(because the gas port is too close to the end of the barrel). That's why he said with a "rifle" length system you can only go as short as 18"
