I gots me the wet rock Tumbler and 5mm pins. Obviously I'll stick with that tumbler. I have tumbled much brass in my bro in law's when I had his and it worked just as well. I think took little longer but whatever. Used Dawn in the water and it was enough for the job. Dawn, I put that $hit in everything :)

;)

My weakness

Awe crap!!! Holy $hitz!! And I gots a N.I.B. Thumler's I mean have not even opened it, ding dang!! Shibi they come out gorgeous. I think one of my juices just flowed :)

I got some Lay's Classic, fkn addicted to them. Hmm, side note I did just lose 30 Lbs. Back down to high screwall weight now.

Shibiwan, thanks brother. I'm gonna read what you got now...

I am thoroughly intrigued now, '98!! Ok, juices flowing, LoL.. Well I have new in box Thumler's for when I jump back in. Along with new press and stuff, new most everything actually.

No.... I have gone thru, am going thru some hard times of late. My focus is messed up because of it and that should not mix well with this thing we love to do. I think I came here tonight, reloading forum, to write a little and see how I feel. I am not close anymore to the ranges I feel comfortable with and the nearest one from here is not near. Oh, what can I say? I'll get back sooner or later. I miss you and the guys. We were having a blast, I know you were, are, my brother. When I jump back in ill have to take it slow. I think I have lost some loading skills I learned, yeah I'll have to get warmed up again. Idk maybe it will come back fast, I just have not been able to think about it much but I'm trying to now. I do come here and read from time to time. I look forward to reading what you are coming up with for out beloved AMAX. That should get my juices flowing. I have some good loads left over from back then, perhaps if I make myself go on the freeway to the range and shoot them would be good therapy: it's been so long and I have all this bitchen equipment to shoot some good loads. Seasprite, I shall return Mike

Just from my past experiences I'll try and give a little here. My LR308 I also used the JP BCG and seems just fine to me. I think you probably eliminated that as a contributor, I have not read thru all the posts here. I have for my LR used 168 smk, 168 & 178 amax, 180 nosler silver tip and a few others. I have used IMR 4064, H4895, CFE-223 & Varget in my experimenting. Primers - WLRP, CCI, Federal. Win brass, Hornady brass & Remington. From combo's of these components and powders there was one outlier that always seemed to get in my way, and disappointingly so. That was the Varget. For one thing I could not get rounds to group as well as with the other powders. It seemed like my brass would be beaten up more so than with the other powders, even the CFE-233 that I went crazy with, I mean I am crazy about it it did so well with groupings and nice velocities out of the 16" JP Supermatch. I could obtain 2700 fps with CFE and 168 amax. Believe me I studied that brass and primers over and over and it was no different than my best IMR 4064 solution with the amax. They were, with the CFE-223 & 168 amax, powder weights of over 47 gr. I never finished my experiments, I got in a funk that I haven't gotten out of yet. I guess my point is, I don't like the Varget. This is just MY experience. As the CFE is pretty impressive for velocity gains, I highly recommend IMR 4064, tried and true. H4895? Why not? H4895 my best groups.... My experience. Edit: guys I must apologize. And I must correct statements I made above regarding cfe-223. Yes I could achieve 2700 fps with a 168 amax. But I remember now it did beat up my brass somewhat. So I started trying it with 178's amax and 180's nosler. That is when it shined in my case. It grouped well and got those heavies out the 16" faster and the brass did well too. I will not quote a charge weight here. Actually my memory isn't serving me well about that. The data is packed away for now. Again I'm am sorry and I'm glad I at least belatedly remembered.

Early bird gets the worm. Once again a little pre-shortage buying may be in order here. Yup, head those Euros off at the pass, padna.... Ya reckon?

wet tumbling yet? Yeah like with a rock tumbler, Thumler's Tumbler and SS pins?

Oh man I've only made it to, "but, (or should I say BUTT)" and I can't stop giggling enough to read more, I know what's coming....

Oh yeah, if the incident does indeed involve terrorist activity or it was shot down or whatever like that, it seems to me that such an evil organization to carry out such a dastardly act would seek full recognition for said act, otherwise why do it? I have so far not heard of any bastards seeking this recognition.

Well in the last decade I flew that airline several times as we had a customer over there I had responsibility over. Flew into Kuala Lumpur and Penang, mostly Penang. I used the airline because they were pretty much the cheapest. Looks good on the outside, but I would would have rather used one of our, much better, domestic carriers. I remeber stories of the Malaysian Airlines maintenance records and wondered about it since it was relevant in my life at that time. Then I did not have to make those trips anymore. Soon after there was a bad accident which involved one of their flights. I decided if I ever have to go back there again, and it does not look like it will ever be the case again, I would not patron the airline. Who knows WTF happened? I surely do not know squat. My first inclination was maintenance issue. Recent history will make many peoples first inclination to be something in the foul play department. I need hard evidence to make that kind of summation. Until then my mind is open.

Who is this Howard Wolowits person? This is not the first reference I have seen of him here.

Hey thanks, Toolindie!! I found something I find very cool there. A toy but it is very neat too me. This http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0017OFRCY/ref=aw_d_dsc_toys-and-games I would buy it because it is programmable

And this, dude!!! I want that It's perfect :) http://www.dudeiwantthat.com/household/decor/the-world-according-to-americans.asp

Right? And I need 25k http://www.dudeiwantthat.com/outdoors/winter/track-n-go-wheel-driven-track-system.asp

And this, I mean WTF?? LoL!! http://www.dudeiwantthat.com/style/gloves/thorns-in-the-glove-you-cant-take-off.asp

And there is stuff like this :) http://www.airsplat.com/Items/ER-E1-134-MINI.htm

Nothing. U gotta click linky. But I found it from this link here which is kinda cool. And I meant this threat to be sorta comical. This is a neat site, so I thought.... http://www.dudeiwantthat.com/?utm_term=artificial%20intelligence&utm_content=Heli&utm_source=m.newser.com&utm_medium=Display+CPC&utm_campaign=Adwords+Dude+Keywords

Well what do you know!!! That, THAT RIGHT THERE, is exactly the same setup which was my last project in a automated installation. I installed about 40 of them. We used KUKA 180 six axes robots set onto 3 meter X axis units like how those in the video are riding. They were not elevated like that but otherwise exactly the same setup. That is money right there. Wow I could assemble a small team, me, Laurant the programmer and one of my electrical guys I know, and do an professional job. I mean I could but, well you know.... Good luck with that it would be very much fun to do if you ever get there for real. Automation is now, not the future.

Well no $hit Sherlock!! http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/3836545195/ref=redir_mdp_mobile?redirect=true&ref_=cm_sw_su_dp&ref_=redir_mdp_mobile&tag=duiwath-20

They are 3x if I buy the parts, tx. I can't control self, but you can do one for twice as much or little less, at least I could have when I did mine, but.....
