I don't think it would hurt it at all. Check out www.virtualweberbullet.com....Awesome stuff

No doubt

welcome to the madness....

cool. good for you for filming.

Anyone seen any Ramshot Tac anywhere? I've been able to get primers...but I can't find Tac for my rifle to save my life...

Did you get it fixed? I've had problems with alignment for seating primers. Index pawl was adjusted properly, and I'd loosen the 2 screws that bolt the shell plate platform to the main shaft, try to hold it in place as I tightened those screws. Still wouldn't really fix it, and to be honest, I didn't find Dillon's alignment tool all that helpful. The trouble comes loading military .223 brass. I think it's just that maybe the primer pockets are not consistently in the center of the cases. I've learned how much pressure I can apply, without smashing the primer. If it's not going to go, I give the case a spin, and then normally the primer will seat (hence why I think it's maybe my brass... although I've tried lots of different head stamps, and all give me the same problem). After battling this for a while, they sent me a replacement shell plate platform, and that seemed to help some. To try to alleviate the brass issue, I've been trying to swage it as much as possible...keeping the case support rod long enough that the case fits tightly into the swage maybe 60-70% of the time, and takes a light tap with a hammer or deburring of the flash hole to get the case to fit into the swage the other 30-40% of the time. I thought this method was working pretty well...not having to spin as many cases to get the primer to seat.... until I had a primer fall out of a round and jam up the lugs in my rifle at the local 3gun match this past weekend. So now I wonder if I'm over-swaging?? Never a dull moment.... What is it they say? If it was easy, everyone would do it?

I concur... BGE = awesome. Flies = absolutely terrible. I like to think everything on God's good earth has purpose, meaning, value, etc. That said, if all flies were instantaneously removed from the earth, I don't think they'd be missed by anyone or anything...the world would only get better and more awesome

Jesse...what's your best advice re: how to start getting paid to put stickers on your guns? I use a 28" M2 with a 12 round Nordic tube and USAA....lots of available space, both on the gun and in my bank account

+1 for Obama.

Why does PV not sell to AL, TN or GA?

Local matches, I just keep shooting...use it as practice, and go home frustrated I shot at it for so long... "Big" matches (ie any kind of prize table), I try to "optimize" and leave targets when appropriate...and go home frustrated that I missed, but hopefully with a prize in hand to bury my sorrows into... The only real common theme I've found is going home frustrated. Why do we do this again??

I use some low-friction wheel bearing grease I got at Home Depot for all of the contact points on the press, and motor oil for the main shaft

I have a Glock 34 that I have been getting set up for 3gun. I just sent it to Taran at TTI for a grip job, sights, mag well, etc. They've been GREAT to work with. Very responsive, super friendly and accommodating. Well I've called a couple of times in the morning, Taran himself has answered the phone, chatted with me at length to answer my questions. It's been a wonderful customer service experience. I'll update once I get the gun back, but so far, I would highly recommend using TTI for competition gunsmithing.

KMC just search in the Dillon forum and you'll find LOTS of threads talking about this problem. People have all sorts of fixes from timing the spring to different ball bearings, etc. There's about 100 different ways people have tackled this issue, from very simple to very complex...

I've got a 14.5" Noveske with a fixed pinned surefire brake on it. I didn't buy it for 3 gun, but that's what I use it for now, and I really like it. The Leupold Mark 6 1x6 makes a much bigger difference than running a 20" barrel with cheap glass, IMHO.
