[Best way to remove case lube ?]

I just lay my loaded rounds on a towel hit em with brake cleaner or carb cleaner and roll them around a bit, takes 30 seconds.

[Thinking about quitting shooting competitively and selling stuff off]

I'm with wtturn...

That being said people come and go from shooting all the time, I know I took a few years off match shooting, a few of my friends have done the same.

[arthritis creeping into thumbs]

I have what I assume is early stage arthritis in my thumbs, I'm a diesel mechanic so I use them a lot doing up nuts ect.

One of the best things that worked for myself for joint support not only for my thumbs but all joints, is gelatine powder taken at a dose of one tea spoon a day. Until you have used up the jar do it two or three times a year.

[Got a 1050 en route, question regarding aftermarket pawl/swage rod]

I have been loading on the 1050 for a few years now, I haven't broken either of those parts.

I have seen a bit of chatter on line about it, my swage rod doesn't get much of a workout.
I don't load military brass ect. So pretty much all it does is go up and down...

If you're worried buy those parts as spares.

[650 or 1050]

I have never owned a 650, I have a couple of friends who do and they're quite happy with them.

They look like good machines.

I have two 1050s with MBF fitted to both, I would not consider going to a 650.

If you can swing the funds go with the 1050. You won't be sorry.

[Good videos of 1911 based slide lock reloads?]

Faster.....yes.From what my Combat Focused Instructor has taught me is....after your heart reaches 145 bps during a stressfull situation, you loose fine motor skills.The " overhand rack " is not a fine motor skill.You must make you own decision whether you want to train to be fast in the competitive world or fail safe in the real world , should something arise.Just my opinion.

So what you're saying is someone can work the safety, the mag release and the trigger, insert a fresh mag. But it all goes to pot when they want to drop the slide.

Yeah. Ok then.

[1050 that works fine ?]

I have two 1050 both worked as expected right out of the box.

[Where is your reloading bench?]

I have a dedicated room just for shooting related stuff,

I need a bigger one but that would mean I'd need to move so I'll just make do for now.

[Level 10 Innovations: Main Compression Spring for a Dillon S1050.]

I have two level 10 innovation spring kits installed in my 1050s and can't recommend them enough for someone who is pushing out a decent number of reloads.

I also run level 10's primer catcher they're worth the investment.

[locking keys in car]

Is your neighbor hot?

After a few beers, possibly.

Invite her over for a few beers your day cant get any worse.

[Curling]

It's a sport you make up when you live in Finland or Norway and you're snowed in 8 months out of the year!

Wow it's like lawn bowls on ice.... About as exciting as watching the lawn grow.

What's curling ?
