  1. Now I'm picturing Doc out there lassoing a cow wearing those boots and not riding a horse
  2. Runing USD$ 5.97/gallon here to so feeling your pain. Diesel is even stupider
  3. Somehow I see @Armed Eye Doc rocking a pair of these no matter what gas prices do
  4. I've taken apprentices that were gamers shooting and they've all commented how different it is. The weight,the recoil,the noise, mag changes, the concept of where the zero is to name a few.
  5. Cost wise and this is a rough estimate in USD around $200 for the inductor, say another $15 for the timer the rest are miscellaneous bit some of which you can probably scavange. So all in about $250 Main bits are in now to go to dig through the scrap pile for wire(coils,extension cord,switch) and some aluminium plate(brass holder durring anealing) I came across some more developed projects with automatic feeder, water cooling etc. but the phrase Don't complicate poop with complicated poop comes to mind. The configuration I'm initially looking at is compact, versatile( still use it on rusty bolts, heat treating small parts), I might look at being able to use a press set up inspired by this. Be fairly easy to set up plus integrate a switch that turns on the timer at the top of the stroke. If it works out and you're intrestedI'll give you a complete parts list and when I'm down in the fall wire it all up for you. I can do the same for anyone coming down for the fall shoot. Agree it's a heck of a hobby. The gas units work just as well but being an electrician I kinda feel obligated to try this out. Between not have to worring about running out of gas or having a flame in my reloading room( from pictures yours seem roomiers and more spaced out) it's worth trying. If it doesn't pan out well I can use the inductor in the workshop.
  6. Parts ordered so will update as things progress
  7. So any one have experience with them? Seems I should be able to cobble something together and take the flame out of the equation. Came across the following durring intial searching. My thought is to pick up one of these induction heaters and try it. While not a high volume unit in these configuration,it doesn't take up much bench space and i can use it in the workshop for rusty bolts ect. Plus if I wanted to upgrade to a high volume induction annealer there are enough plans/ideas on the web to copy. So any thoughts?
  8. Eyes itchy and sinuses a mess major pollen bloom on weekend. Haven't had it this bad in years, usually it ramps up slower and I adjust so it's not an issue.
  9. Can't say I've ever seen any here and I'm just north of you.
  10. Verry sorry to hear about Tucker.
  11. That's what I read, it was suggested that if using a Chargemaster then to trickle charge the last bit of the charge. Considering I can get 24lbs of N570 for the same cost as 16lbs of Retumbo or H1000 along with N570 is readily availible in 8lbs jugs . The Hodgdon is mostly availible in 1lbs bottles.
  12. So looking at Vihtavouri, in particular N570 seeing as I have to play catch up and feed a 338. I've had good experince with Retumbo and H1000 on other calibers. Vihtavuori is becoming more common and carried by several local places, Specificly N570,it's actually easier to get 8lbs jug and a savings of almost $300CAD vs 8lbs of H1000 or Retumbo. So for people using Vihtavuori, how does it meter? is it temputure sentive? Any feedback good or bad, in particular 300magnums and larger.
  13. You could call him a space cowboy... He's heavily involved in Quarter Horses and American Sadlebred Horses
  14. The one person we don't need to worry about when there is an uprising of the machines.
  15. I really need to look into getting a smoker
  16. Will she share? Ken Wallis is an interesting story.
  17. The Grim Reaper is already regretting this decision.
  18. No law says the getting older mean growing up and being responsible. Happy Birthday brother and as always let your inner child be your guide
  19. Thank enjoying the history lesson
  20. It's a rabbithole once you start looking, some pretty amazing stuff especially in the RC world.
  21. Vancouver area got it's only snowfall of winter so far today... some places saw almost an inch of snow. Kinda weather related but BC has decided to do away with changing the clocks so last Sunday was it.
  22. It's almost like Christmas in the spring
