[WTK: Brown Brass is it safe to reload?]

Hi Please try to keep the laughter to a minimum,

A friend gave me a whole bucket full of brass that looks like it was left over from the mid 80's. I think it must have been left on the range since then. It's brown. Even after a few hours in corn cob with Dillon polish its still mostly brown.

My questions are:

1 is this brass no good or just ugly?

2 If it's bad why? Orther than color it looks to be OK.

3 if it's Ok how do I clean it up? Straight Walnut?

Thanks,

[WTK:Removing dimples from 870 tube?]

Hi,

How, with out drilling them out, do I remve the dimples on the inside of the magazine tube on a 870? I thought a deep socket would pound them out but a 16mm is too small and a 17mm is too big.

Any ideas?

Am I missing something really easy?

Thanks

[Dillon FAQ's]

Switching from 10 to 10 short (40) I can see where you wouldn't see the time savings. When switching out the plate any way the seperate primer system saves a little time.

IMHO it is helpful.

[Cleaning rods and Bore guide questions]

Thanks!

With the stainless rod is there a problem with "banging" the lands?

This was the criticism I got for using the one piece brass rod.

Thnaks for the great help, as usual!!

[Cleaning rods and Bore guide questions]

Hi,

I'm just getting into three gun and was wondeing which Bore guide and Rods are recommended?

I was thinking the CJ Weapons because it locks into the locking lugs but I've never used one of these before.

I've always used brass cleaning rods but I think a graphite rod would be better for the bore.

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks,

[Xl 650 Case Feeded Motor?]

Nothing like that. Just the two plugs above the bench and then straight to the breaker. I guess it was just time.

I'm still sold on Dillon though!!

Thanks,

[Xl 650 Case Feeded Motor?]

Thanks,

The vents had dust and the plug is dedicated to the bench. So I think I'm OK there but I'll keep an eye on running the tumbler, trimmer and case feeder at the same time.

[Dillon 650 Case Insert Assy.]

Steve,

If you reload in volume I highly recomend the parts kit. It buys time until the snail mail gets there.

My parts always break on my one day with no kids, no work and no honey do list...

I've got you beat! I had three go in two weeks.

I think the first went because of fatigue(three years)

The second just crumbled like yours.

The third was broken apart by something the chute. Something????? caught it and then it tore the slide cam assembly to pieces.

I got new ones from Dillon. Loaded 1300 223. Everything seems OK now.

I think I would just get new ones form Dillon. It seems that there was a bad batch (the crumbeling ones)
