What did do today on your loading bench !

Great thanks shibi and 98!

If you have cycling issues, you can always load a little longer COAL and up the powder charge (0.3-1gr) for a little more propellant to drive the gas system. The usual warnings apply - watch for pressure signs.

Good to know I ran factory 220 gn last week and had some cycling issues still in break in mode though.

Lots of variables to check. Start with lightening the buffer. When you can get it to reliably eat subs while shooting unsuppressed, it will eat anything else you throw at it.

Picked up 4 more lbs of RL15 today, and scored one hell of a deal on another Nikon scope.  <thumbsup>

Well after 40 minutes of pulling bullets with this damn thing I have to whack, I've restarted. Anyone else do this? Keeps from double charges, helps me anyway.

That's some flat projos bro! No really if it keeps you on the level do it no sence in finding out later!

[Cali_Ed]

Lol they are flipped

[sketch]

Roger I gatherd that from the pix 800$

What whacker are you using? I prefer tally whacker but when I use it too much it turns red and burns my hand

[Cali_Ed]

Some blue Frankford thinking of maybe getting a die bullet puller

[sketch]

I use a rcbs when I get in trouble I think I could use it as a defensive wepon after WHACKing it on the concrete! Kinda scared me at first and now I mess up just so I can whack the shits on the Crete

[Cali_Ed]

Yeah mind works well but kinda loud Nd I don't have concrete to whack it on I use my desk leaves dents lol and the end of my bed frame

[sketch]

Shees what a stud dents, bed frame! Bought some media for 11$ today walnut at petsmart 2# reptile bedding?? Anyone tried this?

Actually I have leaves the brass very dusty. Maybe you will have a better experience

[sketch]

Good to know thanks man! I hate the dust but it's part of the game I also throw in fabric softners (used) takes out some dust but not all?

I took se brass I tumbled in that and tumbled it in ss and I was surmised how dirty it still was

 Using the wet system with the SS media ?

[Cali_Ed]

I said it all jacked up, to early. So I tumbled the brass first in the walnut media. Later I wet tumbled in ss media. When I was pouring the water out, it was incredibly dirty. So as I thought I tumbled and cleaned it with walnut I was wrong. The ss media did the trick

[edgecrusher]

This is definitely the poor grammar thread.

[survivalshop]

 The water will always be dirty when wet tumbling with SS & dish soap/Lemishine . I clean with dry media lightly , then size & de-prime  & then they go to the wet SS .

Ed, go down to the local home improvement store and get a 4"X8"X16" solid cinderblock and use that to whack on. Should make less noise and save your desk too!
