Smart choice! I’ll keep my eyes peeled. I’ve probably bought and sold a half dozen of them in the last few years. Found them cheap and passed on the deal to a new reloader.
Should be a bunch of different parent cases to be able to use. Any of the .308 or .30-06 families. Heck probably could make some nice brass with 6.5 creedmoor.
Growing up, my younger sister talked about a rooster that would get her while feeding calves. Anytime my dad or I went out with her to see this, it never did anything. One day I hid and watched from a distance and sure enough she was telling the truth. I made a plan with her to get that rooster...
Could always check it yourself with a cleaning rod, a tight fitting patch and a piece of tape. Wrap the tape around the rod near the handle and leave a “flag” end on it. Insert patch in barrel. Make a mark in the cleaning rod that lines up with the back of the action. Watch the “flag” end of...
No pictures, but this thread had me thinking of burgers all day. Pellet grill at 400° let it come to temperature. Opened “sear grate” and tossed on 5 burgers. About 4-5” diameter and 3/4” thick. Some generic season-all in the beef and cooked about 5 minutes per side. Topped with good slices of...
You won’t regret the Co-Ax. It’s a great press. I’ve bought a handful of used rockchuckers at this point and always pass on that deal to someone else. My Co-Ax won’t ever leave my bench.
I still use the Lee Lock Stud/cutter system for trimming/chamfering/debuting rifle cases with the aid of a good cordless drill. I like cleaning brass in a vibratory tumbler with walnut. After lubing and sizing rifle brass it goes back in the tumbler with treated corncob media to remove the...
I reload .30-06 and .338-06 with .30-06 stamped brass. I use blue mtm boxes for the .338-06 and solid green for the .30-06. Can be confusing when I load barnes TTSX for both of them. I do use separate brands of brass for each rifle too, just as another step that distinguishes a difference
Small world! NSS shipped me a savage prefit in .280AI when I lived in Watford City too! Glad you sold it. I’m just seeing this for the first time and that was tempting!
I started reloading with the ABC’s of Reloading and bothe the Lee manual and the Lyman 49th. I’ve bought every Lyman since that as well as some older manuals too just for fun. I make a point to but the Hodgdon Annual Manual too every year. It’s all their online data in magazine form. Great value...
Same here. I imagine my Redhawk wouldn’t mind this path one bit.
If the die was cut shallow enough the bottleneck could always be adjusted by screwing or unscrewing the die enough.
I think this would be a good path to go down. I wonder if instead of chamber casts, we could get close enough with some sort of spec off a SAAMi chamber?
