Looks for Range (1/11)

  1. http://www.forchtfirearms.com/dillondoc.html Craig build the motor chain drive system...I added the Arduino and sensors Hope this helps Spitboy
  2. http://www.midwayusa.com/product/519525/imperial-case-sizing-wax-2-oz This stuff makes sizing 300 Weatherby Mag cases smooth....love this stuff
  3. Glad it worked out for you. Now go shoot!!
  4. "To me, it does not seem like it is removing the crimp all the way around the primer pocket."... I don't think it has to...In my experience 40% 50% 60 % of the ring smoothed out is enough to accept a primer. I do want to hear your results of this set up... If I can help I'd like to!!
  5. No just cheep black socks, :-) something has got to filter the sand!!
  6. We are beginning an inflationary cycle here in the US....I don't like rising prices either nor will I get stuck in the "good o' days when powder was..." I buy what's available and shoot it. And live life... No need to buy the next 10 years worth...just 4 pounds here and there
  7. Rod adjustment looks good. Crimp rings have changed a bit from before/after pics...only one way to find out! Hope it works...post picks of the results. Best of luck!
  8. I re-tuned my swaging setup, and increased my swaging depth. Much improved but not perfect. I set the swage depth just a little deeper. Last night I was running 100 / 2.5 minutes 100% clean for 700 rounds straight, and I was even running Tula primers! Thanks for the tip Spitboy! Glad I could be of some help! Happy safe shooting!
  9. Silly question...If we're not really crimping why is the dillon die stamped "crimp die"?
  10. Tri county seems to be the portland shooting go to place...hard to get in?
  11. That and shorts and a hoodie...welcome to Portland ...lol
  12. do you think it will be less available since VV was sold to another company? Company sale can sometimes result in supply issues...? I believe it's just distributed by Hodgdon now, not sure that VV was sold.... Vihtavuori was bought last year from Eurenco by the Nammo Group (Lapua's parent company). Supply was heavily disrupted for a while, things are getting better with VV supply since the sale, not worse. I stand corrected. Well, not entirely wrong, it is distributed by Hodgdon and is still challenging to obtain. Seems easier in West coast for some reason...East coast has always been tight on getting supplied
