I like to mark my brass with a small dimple in the center of the primer. If any of you find any of my brass laying around, please send it back to me ASAP. Thank you, Dale

I useda cement mixer for quite a while. I use corn cob with Nu Finish in it. I had a lot of dirty brass and ran some walnut through it...once. that is a dirty, dusty mess, even with polish in it to cut down on dust. You can take the fins out of the mixer if you want but I never had a problem with brass getting destroyed. I would use 1 1/2 buckets of brass with 90 pounds of corn cob to run mine. Sort the brass first though!! You won't like it if you don't! Dale

I partially drain my water heater monthly. I am guessing the "cool down" part is just to keep you from getting burned. On my water heater (and the majority I have seen), you can hook a water hose to it and run the water wherever you want it. I don't recommend a cheap, flimsy hose for this though as the water is hot! You don't want a melted hose if you have your water temp set very high. Dale

If you have wooden stocks/grips on any of your guns, you don't want excessive oil on them as it will leach into the wood and make it swell up on you, ruin the fit and make the wood forever soft in that area. You may consider a good coat of oil and remove any wooden parts and store them by themselves. Just an FYI. Dale

It can but you will need a magnum bolt or open the 270 bolt face up to magnum dimensions. Dale

I got mine on Saturday in Oklahoma.

I have a mount that fits the hitch receiver also. I put a bottle jack under it and almost lift the truck off the ground to take any wobble out of it and keep the press solid. Dale

Why is it a DQ to catch his gun at a safe table watching his buddy work on his? Where else are you supposed to handle it?

It's worth about $50. I'll give you $75 for it just to help you out!! ;-)

I wonder if the dirver of the van was texting at the time.

I tried golfing a couple weeks ago. I hurt my ankle when I fell off the ball washer so I don't think I will go back until they lower them things.

I am pretty sure Flex had a hand in making this video. I laughed my butt off!!

Did you put your niece in the pens too?

Damn, I read this too fast and I thought you were getting a 1250cc shaver. I wanted to see that thing run!

noylj, I hope you meant 7.62 x 51 and (.308) being the same. and 7.62x54 (.308),

That is cool to watch. Don't think I would want to be in the barrel when it happened.

It says in the Blue Press something to the effect of not really meant to be used as a calendar, it is 14 posters instead.

I have the KISS bullet feeder on mine and so far, it feeds any bullet I put in it. As for the P/W autodrive, there is no way I would run it without a bullet feeder. You won't want your hands inside the machine while it is running that fast. On the Primer issue, it takes a while to swap from large to small. That machine was made for production and not swapping calibers/primers as easy as the other machines. Hope this helps some. Dale

Last year, Bob Vogel went down on the walk through in Illinois. Wooden Deck.

If I was ROing, I would just keep watching the gun and not the clock until "range is clear".

I am fat and lazy, can I have a cart? :-)

His buddys probably told him "Wake up dude, you gotta drive".

It is Slide-Glide.

Just use Slide Glide and not worry about it. Dale

Is that just a polite way of telling the rest of us that our reloads really suck? Those are some nice photos. Nice lookin' blaster by the way. Dale
