The GREATEST Reloading Tool

[OilyOwl]

Everyone go get a $.99 Sharpie and before you start pulling hair out,simply color the case(s) in question,to pinpoint malady rather than guess feverishly.

Thank me later.

When you gonna re-make your original Sharpie post? I was trying to find it a couple months back and couldn't.

It would probably save you a whole lotta typing..

I color code cases and primers when working up loads. It helps the memory.

A Sharpie is a very useful item. However, the greastest reloading tool is a Giraurd case trimmer!!

Re: The GREATEST Reloading Tool

does the black on the case make the round faster? like moly?

Re: The GREATEST Reloading Tool

Not faster just TACTICAL. I agree that Sharpies are great.

Re: The GREATEST Reloading Tool

OK, I missed it....

I believe it's to show how the case forms in the chamber?

Re: The GREATEST Reloading Tool

What if I can only find clear sharpies?

 

[Joe-n-TX]

Re: The GREATEST Reloading Tool

Well, I have a pack of all different colors. I know about finding the lands with coloring the bullet.

But not the case.

Re: The GREATEST Reloading Tool

These ideas have been around longer then the sharpie marker.

Re: The GREATEST Reloading Tool

Is he talking about marking each lot of brass with a number or something?

 

[Shady_Jay]

Re: The GREATEST Reloading Tool

you can find shoulder bumps and where over-expanded brass is sticking to determine a need for a SB die or to just chunk it, among other things.

Re: The GREATEST Reloading Tool

You can also mark a line down the round so it goes into the chamber the same way. A bit anal but..

 

[The Mechanic]

Re: The GREATEST Reloading Tool

I will give it a start

1. shoulder bumping visual aid
2. color coded case organizing and documenting
3. case in chamber alignment
4. extractor marks works with pistols too.
5. clear sharpies for night vision.

6. finding lands on bullet
7. writing phone numbers on bathroom walls

No, but if you color the tip of the bullet it makes it AP!

I love the smell of Sharpies in the Morning.

Re: The GREATEST Reloading Tool

If your real careful you can make several lines down the case,looks like an H&K fluted chamber for your Rem 700

racing stripes make action cycling faster

Pretty much any thing you'd use smoke or Prussian Blue for.
