Looks for Range

Looks for Range (1/11)

  1. You can buy a small grease pump with a needle fitting that will pump grease into that tiny hole. http://www.dualco-inc.com/products.push.html be sure to get the one with the needle dispenser.
  2. anything that frictions against another part gets grease on my 650.
  3. Where did you get the blue tabs for your locator buttons?
  4. Yep. I cracked a slide on my Brazo but I replaced it with another Stainless. I like the look.
  5. N105 Vihtaviyru was the powder recommended by Bob at Brazo when I bought my gun. The amount of powder varies a bit with the lot number but mostly around 10 grains. It's a compressed load coupled with rifle primers but generates enough gas that the dot stays in the glass. I have also used IMR SR4756 with equally good results even though the IMR is slightly faster burn rate I had to move the power factor up to 180. The problem is with that much powder I had to develop a special loading technique to prevent powder from splashing out when the press indexed. I moved the bullet seated dye next to the powder so It only had to index one time. I placed my finger on the case as it moved over to cushion the click.
  6. I don't see how a non-hybrid barrel would cause a problem. I would get it titanium nitride coating.
  7. I started with super and have stuck with it through two guns. I even bought a Colt 1911 that shoots super. I can testify that the guns and ammo were trouble free except the handle on my Brazzo cracked and gave me a fit until I discovered what was causing the issue. replaced the handle and never looked back.
  8. I measure the diameter of the spring wire AND OVER ALL LENGTH of a new spring and write that number on the package. I also have a special page in my reloading log book to keep such information. This allows me to pick up any spring, check the diameter of the wire and the overall length to compare with a known new spring.
  9. My 550 does not have grease zerks either. Purchased in December 06 from BrianEnos.com. There are pilot holes (6 total / 2 for each pivot pin) that I suppose you could put zerks but I don't know why they didn't get put on at the factory? I don't know how else you could grease the pivot pins otherwise? Okie I have an older 650 that I lube with a product from Dualco. you can google dualco and find multiple places to obtain one of their grease guns. It's a very small pressure luber with a needle point that will exactly fit what looks like a pilot hole on the pivot pins. I just jamb the nozzle into the pilot holes and pump it a few times until some of the older grease oozes out of the ends of the shaft pins. I think I paid 20 bucks about 10 years ago and highly recommend it rather than modification to the 650.
  10. I can't tell if that's for real or not. Do all stage designs suck in CA as well? There you go. bolt action is just another system to learn. kinda like shooting revolver.
  11. i have the same issue with my Brazos using Bob's recommended IMR 4756. My first clue as to what might cause this was when I found unburned powder in my comp one day. I laid the gun on the white side of a target on the bench and saw the powder fall out. What I surmise is that unburned power in the comp ignites on the next shot causing the flash.I had the same issue with VV N105, also a Brazos recommended power. Infinity recommends only 3N38 in their open guns.
  12. its too easy to pull your barrel and use it to case check the ammo. The Dillon dies are fine. Consider adding a Lee full length resizing/crimp die in the last station. Move the seating die to the station next to the primer/flair station. With the case so full of powder it only has to move 1 station to close the case to prevent powder spillage. You can visual check case level as you set the bullet.
  13. I would consider calling Brandon Strayer and ask him. On their web page they insist that only 3n38 be used in their guns so it must be possible. Brandon is a very nice man and is always willing to help.
  14. You can't use what you know...you can only use what you practice.
  15. I am very sorry I have not responded to your message before now. I have never used the message thing before and I almost never visit this page. That said, I don't think I have but a couple of thousand left. I have to take an inventory after I ship out this next batch. Shall I notify you if I have any left?
