Speed of sound at 45 degrees F is 1101.2 fps. That is only 85 fps slower than their stated muzzle velocity. If some rounds crack and others don't, you are right on the ragged edge of the speed of sound for bullet velocity! I don't know...

Re: 3 Remingtons
You put your left arm in,
You put your left arm out,

Thanks Zuke,
I just received my universal decapping die for the Dillon 650 with the case feeder, so I expect the decap step to go very quickly.
Re: Cold day in November.
Looks like fun!
Temperature is relative based on what you are used to, Lil-Rambo. Down here, a warm summer day is "only" 40 degrees C (104 F). Snow camped in Finland once and was a little chilly at -30C (-22F)!

Painting the inside of the Thumblers B tumbler.
I didn't paint the inside of the tumbler before starting to tumble. I probably have run 25 loads of brass in the past two weeks. I looked at the inside of the tumbler under the rubber lining when I got...

TresMon,
I have read all of your excellent tutorials on ammunition crafting on this forum. I want to thank you for the excellent information that you present. I have a bit of that OCD tendency too...

Re: Stainless Steel Media Testimonials

Re: How accurate is a stock Barrett 82A1?
