Molecules move around in a solid metal, higher temp, more movement. It takes time at temp to get them arraigned right. Temperature of quenching water determines the rate (faster is better) of cooling...

Just check used car lots and national sales Co. Her sis got a used toyota with side ramp. He passed earlier this yr and she sold it for about 10k$. They are around.

Had double done a loong time ago, doc told me to quit riding MC for a while. Otherwise, pain recovery but healing was complete. Just move slow and don't over stretch anything.

Why would anyone getting a Ruger #1 think they were a moron? If only I could afford one.

In several years of shooting pistol/rifle with HiTek/PC/lubed I've not seen enough difference in accuracy that can be attributed to the 'lube'. Powder/alloy/load makes too much difference.

I tried the spraying/baking plates long time ago. I shot AR10 308, several 300BO ARs. NO problem with gas port. Carbon and lead can cause a problem. Mine are adjustable, tweak the screw every once...

I just put a known alloy bullet in a vice with unknown, squish hard. Look at the dents on both to determine if it's 'good' enough.

Most of eastern side of Ne has been taken over by Mexican/Arab peoples. Expect the rest to go also, just like the smaller Ks towns.

Reminds me of trip to Fl, son wanted to fish off the bridge. Got a blowfish and then an eel. Had to get the side cutters to cut the stainless leader. He wouldn't get near it. Now his company says he...

Grind off 50 thous of the bottom of the die (not shell holder - they are HARD). Screw down the die extra 1/2 turn and size a case. If the bolt closes with little resistance, that's good for YOUR...

Old or BAD brass! Neck is filthy. IF purchased lately send to Rem, otherwise, just toss the cases. Annealing probably won't fix.

An old teacher told me the use of the 1911 45 (WWII Pacific) was predominantly to kill Warf rats. They couldn't get tommy guns for dock patrol.

Nope, not needed. BLL actually degrades PC. Tested on rifle bullets.

Dang, none for me to shoot. Was watching an (pro) Aussie shoot them @200 yds with sub 308W. Interesting (and he is a good shot) sub 308 220 gr has LESS energy and poorer traj than 300 BO 135gr...

Trigger, not sure what you are asking. yes sulfur will combine ( form a molecule) with zinc to remove zinc. Yes, remaining sulfur will stay in the lead. I did cast for 40sw, pure & zinc <1%, alloy...

Solubility of sufur in lead is quite high at higher temps, decreases at lower temps. Correct, it is held in the lead lattice but does NOT form a new molecule. Same with most added elements in lead. ...

I've used red dot in BO, 30/30 for plinking. Haven't seen the position sensitivity yet. I use a single shot CVA so random 'position' of the rnd when loaded. But BO is a small case. I did notice the...

The NOE has an edge to do the sizing (at least the original), basically a tapered hole. Doesn't work well for me. Using nose sizer in the body, ya can't pull the bullet out easy (and held in with a...

.are undersized boolits that inaccurate? Yup. They get 'damaged' in the bore and don't fly right.
Forum: Our Town
IIRC they weren't that effective. Too many people involved in shooting and not that accurate. Mostly fear factor. The really big one was used to destroy an ammo dump underground. Barrel life was...

IIRC NOE 30/30 expander is not long enough to expand all the neck. I use a lyman 311 M expander, it's longer. The stepped expanders give a large flare to the mouth and the STOP step is sometimes hard...
