    processing service for lc 5.56 brass

    Not to worry GotRDid, the thought alone is comforting. You guys have done more than your fair share. Lets sit back and see how this year starts to unfold. Started doing some conversions, thanks to my annealer, except for the headstamp, you can't tell the 30-06 from a new 8mm Mauser. Now to make...

    PLEASE READ For God's Sake READ THIS and Don't Get Ripped OFF

    For piece of mind, this being a FELONY, I would at least have charges pressed against the culprits and branded by every enforcement agency, who knows the MO, these people use. The theft is one felony, using the mail system, brings in the criminal division of the Postal Service, Using the...

    Brass problem discovered at range

    I understand the ???????????????, it leaves in your mind. But you are talking about 2, yes I said 2 pieces of brass, toss them, be more concerned with making the cases which work, even better.

    Vermin would pay the $50, if they knew it could net them $1,000 or more. How about any big ticket items, the buyer can bring in a couple members of his choosing to help with the purchase. One member could be FBI GUY and the other LOCAL COP?

    Or on any big ticket items, bring in 5 members of your choosing, who will ask the questions, get the answers, helping to conclude an honest transaction or scare the vermin back down their hole.

    processing service for lc 5.56 brass

    Thanks Dusty, sent GotRDid, his processed 223/5.56 cases back, fully-processed. Unless something changes these will be the last small cases, I do for quite some time. Small cases are to hard on the hands (223/5.56, 300AAC) I don't have any of the fancy equipment, so doing one 223 case, is the...

    Brass problem discovered at range

    Working from the bottom of the case up. Did you measure the "BAD" cases, with a caliper or micrometer? I have found, if R-P are used for Maximum-loads, they develop a slight bulge, 1/2 inch or so above the case-head. Like the Glock-Bulge with pistol cases. These were 223/5.56 R-P cases, had I...

    dissect my loading process

    1/3 Corn-Cob, 2/3 Walnut (Cleans & Polishes). No reason you can't use an air compressor. Might want to wear your hearing protection, the cases can get load, blowing air into them.

    Ar 15 question

    The pictures you took, should be more than enough evidence, of the damage in the chamber, along with the fired cases as proof. You most likely will not have any problems, getting the replacement.

    dissect my loading process

    Being a beginner, you are ahead of the game. Learn from your mistakes and what other's have to offer. Fine tune it and tune it again, if you seek perfection, you just might find it. We all have our flavors. What do I do, differently? After sizing, trimming, deburring and chamfering, I tumble in...

    USPS Complaint Thread

    Have you bothered to see where the A-Hole in charge came from??? He was a "very large" contributor to Trump, and as a favor, put this piece of work, in charge of an already failing business. He has no and I mean no experience with the postal services. So much, for being allowed to do favors...

    Ar 15 question

    Is it American made? Don't roll-over. It's the principle, with me it's the cost too. Take it back, give them a song-and-dance, you had 3 gunsmiths look at the chamber with a bore-scope, you have 3 written statements from the smith's, stating the chamber could cause a case separation, resulting...

    Brass problem discovered at range

    Color with magic-marker (338 dude) especially the head area. Can you feel any difference or resistance when sizing. Being one who uses a hand-deprimer, it tells me allot about any pocket expansion, which the case may have acquired. Found some recently, just like your's, but were 5.56 Nato. They...

    best way to ship a big dillon 1100 with autodrive and mr bullet feeder

    A heads-up on the foam. It's a good idea and I've used it in the past. Many different types of foam. Some don't expand at all (around doors and windows) other foams will push the unit, out the other side of the container. We used Saran-Wrap (one whole roll), covering each square inch of the...

    Comment on Sales by Non-Upgraded Members

    Very discouraged. When I first joined this forum, never really saw many "non-paying" members buying or selling items. This was the reason, I fell in with all paying members. As components have become scarcer to find, it has brought out people who can not buy items, at their local 7-11's anymore...
